Someone observing a student with hearing loss may believe that he or she has an attention problem or a learning <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disability" target="_blank">disability</a> as hearing loss can also impact perceiving, language processing, processing speed, memory and attention. Unlike <a href="http://www.additudemag.com/adhd/article/3270.html" target="_blank">ADHD or LD</a>, learning issues caused by hearing loss are not due to a disorder (an issue with brain processes). Instead the learning issues are secondary to delays because the child has incomplete access to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech" target="_blank">speech</a> occurring around him or her, especially soft speech or completely understanding someone talking from a distance further than 3-6 feet.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Fragmented Hearing</b> - Our educational system is based on the assumption that students in the classroom will perceive, and therefore understand, all of what the teacher is saying. When much information received in school is fragmented because of hearing loss, learning consequences are likely. Even with the latest hearing technology, normal hearing ability is not restored by hearing devices. Even aided thresholds of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audiogram" target="_blank">20 dB HL</a> will cause soft speech, high pitch speech sounds and unemphasized brief words to be undetected or too quiet to process.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/03/mainstream-school-lacks-communication.html" title="The Cascading Impact of Hearing Loss on Access to School Communication"><img height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgU4NDxh9Pu02AV6cg3rS6cNLTLo0dtfAx0yQYB60aE_5u0E7EWMCXjpkOwUgmpM93H-ahVaVXkYlLD4Xvl0IMLBeOAUv9BKEMJ7GYHBRUQmF76eejgSP2nItT56Nu0yUqppvdg_S3MYim/s400/cascading-impact-of-hearing-loss-facts.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><br />It is not unusual for children with hearing loss to have a 20% ‘listening gap’ as compared to class peers who may miss only 5% of information 1. The image shows a story about Fran the frog who has a sore throat. As you can see, comprehending the meaning of the story is impacted when 20% of the information missing. Even if a child is able to perform well in a quiet setting using hearing devices, a classroom setting is typically noisy, with fast-paced peer-to-peer conversations and teachers that move about the classroom, causing significant listening challenges. These conditions typically result in barriers to access.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Increased Effort</b> - Effort refers to the exertion of physical or mental power. Listening effort refers to the attention necessary to understand speech. Ease of listening is the perceive difficulty of the listening situation by the listener. Even low noise in the environment will interact with the fragmented hearing to interfere with their speech understanding. Children with hearing loss work harder than their peers to listen leaving fewer cognitive resources to understand speech in the classroom as compared to class peers.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RImphoFjIUs" width="500"></iframe></div><i>CSS Movies presents "</i><i><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RImphoFjIUs" target="_blank">Alone In A Hearing World</a>" shows true to life scenarios of a young Deaf boy growing up in a hearing world.

He received his first <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochlear_implant" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">cochlear implant</a> when he was a year old. Now in middle school, he’s spent almost his whole life with the ability to turn off the world’s noise at will. In the morning, he attaches the <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19924015" target="_blank">external magnets</a> of his cochlear implants to each side of his head, where they transmit sound from the <a href="http://www.mathworks.com/help/dsp/examples/cochlear-implant-speech-processor.html?requestedDomain=www.mathworks.com" target="_blank">microphones and speech processors</a> worn over his ears. The electrode arrays in each of his cochleae then stimulate the auditory nerve, and zap, he “hears.”<br /><br /><br /><br />With his implant, he’s become part of a new generation of profoundly <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_loss" target="_blank">Deaf</a> kids who are assimilated into the mainstream <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_%28person%29" target="_blank">hearing</a> world. In 1989, the <a href="http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ProductsandMedicalProcedures/ImplantsandProsthetics/CochlearImplants/ucm062882.htm" target="_blank">Food and Drug Administration</a> approved cochlear implants for children aged 2 years or older; in 2000, the agency green-lit implants for kids as young as 12 months. In the wake of those approvals, thousands of parents like me with no connection to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaf_culture" target="_blank">Deaf culture</a> or knowledge of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Sign_Language" target="_blank">American Sign Language</a> have opted to have their children receive implants. (More than 90 percent of congenitally Deaf babies are born to typical-hearing parents.)<br /><br /><br /><br />But our decision also placed our son in between two worlds: He is not a member of Deaf <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_language" target="_blank">signing</a> culture, but neither is he fully part of the hearing community. Instead, he lives somewhere in the middle, joining the 48 million Americans who are challenged with some level of hearing loss.<br /><br /><br /><br />“Sometimes my brain accounts for the fact that I don’t hear,” he says. “Like if I stomp my foot with my implants off, then my brain kind of makes a sound for it.” He is coming to recognize himself as a “Hearing/Deaf” person an identity that has shaped his sense of social inclusion in unique ways. When his cochlear implants are off, he says, he experiences the world through a kind of “peaceful darkness.” (At times, the decision to turn it on and off is a strategic one: “It is kind of cool to take them off when someone is being annoying to me.”)<br /><br /><br /><br />According to the FDA, approximately 88,000 people in the U.S. had received cochlear implants as of 2012, including around 38,000 children. The majority of these children attend schools alongside typical-hearing peers, which can be mentally and emotionally taxing as they work to keep up with the sounds around them.<br /><br /><br /><br />Sometimes words just get all mixed up and you just can’t understand the person. “It’s not like you put the implants on and you can hear just like a normal person,” he reminds me. “Sometimes words just get all mixed up and you just can’t understand the person.” Indeed, experts in field of auditory-verbal therapy stress that implant-wearers must be “hearing athletes” in order to thrive in the cacophonous world. Listening is not a passive endeavor, and pressure to keep up can be tiring.<br /><br /><br /><br />In recent years, advancements in hearing technology have made it a little bit easier. My son now has the Naida CI Q90, a model from the California-based implant manufacturer <a data-omni-click="r'article',r'link',r'2',r'472542'" href="http://www.advancedbionics.com/">Advanced Bionics</a>. The implant, recently approved by the FDA, contains software that more effectively minimizes echo, wind, and reverberation sounds. It has Bluetooth capability, meaning that music, movies, and phone calls can be sent wirelessly into his device. It’s also capable of zooming in on a single voice in a noisy environment.<br /><br /><br /><br />The implant has gone a long way towards helping him integrate more seamlessly into the everyday hearing world. At school, for example, the teacher's voice is transmitted to our son’s receivers via an FM system above all other sound, and a portable <a data-omni-click="r'article',r'link',r'3',r'472542'" href="http://www.phonak.com/com/b2c/en/products/wireless-accessories/products/roger-pen/hearing-aid-accessory.html">pen-shaped microphone</a> on his school desk picks up small group conversations.<br /><br /><br /><br />But for a tween, naturally, the biggest concern it is all about fitting in. My son’s hair is now deliberately long enough to cover his hearing devices. When asked how he enjoys music, he says that he likes the feeling of hearing what his friends are listening to.<br /><br /><br /><br />“Maybe I’m not even hearing the same things as them because I have no idea how people hear,” he says, “but I have the feeling I’m really close to it.”<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/03/cochlear-implants-children/472542/" target="_blank">SOURCE</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Alone in a Hearing World</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RImphoFjIUs" width="500"></iframe><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><b>What Is the Leading Cause of Child Abandonment?</b><br /><br /><br /><br />History of Abandonment/Abuse - History tends to repeat itself and this is especially true of abuse and neglect patterns. Parents who experienced abuse, neglect or abandonment at the hands of someone when they were a child are more likely to repeat the pattern and abuse, neglect or abandon their own children.

But have you ever stopped and thought about just how hard that can be?<br /><br /><br /><br />In a video produced by <a href="http://littlemovingpictures.com/" target="_blank">Little Moving Pictures</a>, one woman, Rachel Kolb, perfectly articulates what it feels like to experience a world that you can’t <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing" target="_blank">physically hear</a>.<br /><br /><br /><br />The video shows a range of people speaking about every day experiences. Each story is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtitle_%28captioning%29" target="_blank">subtitled</a>.

It is accents, it is people’s mumbles, the way some may cover their mouths when they talk – the list is endless. All things that many of us unknowingly take for granted.<br /><br /><br /><br />Rachel describes lip-reading as ‘putting together a puzzle without all the pieces’.<br /><br /><br /><br />She said: ‘There have been times when I’ve questioned why I even try to lip read.<br /><br /><br /><br />‘To wade through this swamp, when I could just use <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_language" target="_blank">sign language</a>.’<br /><br /><br /><br />She compares the use of sign language to being in a different world – a world filled with ‘<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaf_culture" target="_blank">rich expression and culture</a>.’<br /><br /><br /><br />But for Rachel, when lip-reading works, she feels something that she thinks sign-language cannot offer her all of the time. ‘When I focus on one legible face, and launch into a conversation, something clicks.<br /><br /><br /><br />‘Right then, I feel something extraordinary.
