Chapter 2 Causes of Being Deaf and Auditory Field
Hearing people, hearing world, hearing.
Causes of Hearing levels
Deaf, deaf, Deaf Bling Deaf Disabled, and of hearing or late-deafened.
Genetic: The genes a baby in the mothers womb, later as a teen, or in the adult life. "Connexin 26" is the gene passed from generations to generations.
Acquired: When a person is Deaf gain due to an accident, health issues, age, drugs.
Conductive: The outer and middle ear from wax blockage, fluid buildup, repairing tissue, ear injuries or punctures can be repaired with medicine or procedures.
Sensorineural: Inner ear, connected to the nerve, missing hair in the Cochlear for waves to travel. This cannot be repaired.
Audiologists are professionals who detect hearing levels and propose accommodations to those who need an evaluation to measure damage, hearing level, ear function, etc.
1936-1950 Hearing aids were used and worn
1960-1980 Deaf children were required to wear hearing aids in schools (plastic box attached to the chest)
1984 hearing implant for adults, 1990 toddlers, and in 2002 in infants.
Cochlear implants does not cure Deaf people, the side effects are greater like vertigo, headaches, scars, even meningitis.
These are implants directly to the auditory nerve connecting external sounds to the brain. those who qualify are the profoundly Deaf.
Audiologist used "Decibels" to measure different noises (pitch) to determinate if there is a blockage, puncture, fluid, etc.
Some Audiologist peruse family's to force the children to speak and not to sign, they even make the parents sign contracts
The torture: Thinking Deaf people could heal, doctors used cruel methods and "miracle cures" which aggravated the person, even death or severe painful aftermaths. Charlatans were among those who tried to "cure" the Deaf.
Cruel methods: Besides the torture, the teachers used cruel methods to "help" the Deaf to talk and no to sign. Corporal punishment, strapping the hands, and ligament of the tongue.
Screening: New born have a hearing screening (AABR) after they are born. This will let the technician know if they can hear or not. back in 1990 the screening test, was not performed, this had many children misdiagnosed.
Alexander Graham Bell opposed Deaf people to sign, he wanted Deaf people to speak.
Hearing Aids do not cure Deafness, they amplify sound for those who are hard of hearing. These will never work in a profound Deaf person
Inspirational Porn: Stella Young explains "this is a form of shaming" the Deaf person or making them a victim. It appears to be cute to those who can hear seen a Deaf child smile or have a facial expression. Why? because we think it is cute, they have expressions, it is something so easy to achieve to those who are hearing, so it is cute for those who cant. In other words, we pity others behavior because it is cute.
Genes: Connexin 26 is the Gene which carries the Deaf gene
Genes play a big part in a persons life. Hearing people chooses more often to test the embryo for Deafness, versus the Deaf parents who chose not to have the test performed.
