This type of hearing loss is called ‘sensorineural,’ which means there is damage to the tiny hair cells in the part of the inner ear called the cochlea. Because of this damage, sound cannot reach the auditory nerve. With a cochlear implant, the damaged hair cells are bypassed, and the auditory nerve is stimulated directly.…
My grandma started to lose her hearing when she was twenty years old. It has decreased harshly over the years. Her hearing became as weak as four percent.

She also had to learn other ways to communicate like sign language.…

1. There are many different facts that can have a impact on people with sensory loss. Communication and awareness play big roles in the impact. They may find it difficult to feed themselves, dressing and mobility. Hobbies and interests can have negative impact on their lives. They may also feel scared and alone due to this.

Organizations might help the Deaf and Blind with many different aspects of their life to support or to helping them find the right kind of support.…
Things that hearing people want to do are foreign to people with hearing loss. People can change when losing their hearing. People with hearing loss would want to hear again. People whom have their loved ones suffered the loss of hearing, cannot stand to see their own family member or friend suffering. People whom lost their hearing suddenly, can fall in the depression. “On My Father’s Loss of Hearing”, by Joanne Diaz was written about her father who suffered the loss of hearing and the author uses three devices that are connotation, irony, hyperbole, and to help explore the difficulty of hearing loss.…

Throughout the article, Virginia thought that listening to music through headphones is more harmful than using headphones. The author uses some evidence to support her point, Virginia pointed out that although the headphones use a higher volume to drown out the intervention, but the fact that users are more likely headset is going deaf. This quote to compare the effectiveness of earbuds and headphones in the hearing of the people, and have concluded that the headphones are even harmful to hearing. The data of this experiment is to convince the reader and comparison is very convincing.

There are many factors in which can impact an individual with sensory loss, these factors may have an impact on an individuals lifestyle and well-being. Environmental factors, lifestyle, society, visual aids, effective communication, quality advice and guidance can all impact an individual with sensory loss. When a person acquires sensory loss this can have a big impact on their lifestyle and everyday living skills, changes may occur in which an individual may not feel comfortable or familiar with. These changes can have an impact on a persons general well being, they may loose confidence, they may feel isolated and lost this can impact on an individuals personal life and their ability to build relationships with others. As a child we learn to talk by listening and copying others around us, if a child is born deaf this can effect an individuals ability to communicate with others, as we depend so much on verbal communication this can have a big impact on an individuals communication skills. When a person is blind or short sighted, this can prevent a person from being able to see facial gestures or body language making it difficult to communicate. Being blind can cause other risks such as the inability to read important messages and signs, an individual may not see medication instructions and take too many, they may not see important signs such as wet floor signs, hot water, temporary road signs etc. Everyday tasks that we all take for granted will be impacted when a person acquires or has congenital sensory loss. Mobility may be affected when a person has a sensory loss, especially when a person aquires a sensory loss, I personally can not imagine what it must be like to walk with out being able to see where I am going, we rely on being able to see other objects in order to move around safely, if an individual suddenly acquires blindness initially it must be…

Imagine that you have a child or sibling that develops meningitis and is losing hearing- quickly. There is not much time before his/her ears do not work at all anymore. You have two options: cochlear implants or remaining deaf. So, what do you…
