Hear Impairment Presentation
when one parent carries to gene for hearing loss (and usually has
hearing loss), passes the gene onto the child. In this case, the
probability of the child acquiring a hearing loss in 50%.
About 20% of inherited deafness is caused by dominant inheritance.

Autosomal recessive hearing loss:
when the mother carries the recessive trait for hearing loss on
the sex chromosome and passes it onto the male offspring but
not to females.
•Premature Birth
- If a child is delivered early or has a low birth weight,
Causes of Hearing Loss
•Otitis Media (a common ear infection for children)
- If not treated, fluid can build-up and the eardrum can
rupture > this causes permanent ear loss.
Causes of Hearing Loss
•Meningitis ( 脑膜炎 )
-bacteria or a virus affect the central nervous system.
-destroy the sensitive apparatus of the inner ear.
Causes of Hearing Loss
Environmental Factor
•Noise Exposure
- repeated exposure to noisy environments.
(E.g.- a person is exposed to hazardous noise levels at work)
- A person usually does not realize his/her hearing is being damaged
-CON: Students are more likely to view CON: No educated with a diversity
-
Whatever the classroom may be, quality of instruction is the most important
factor to determining a successful student.
Classroom Adaptations
To help a child with hearing loss succeed:
• Provide a copy of whatever you are reading to the class in
writing
• When speaking to the class use as many visual aids as
possible (such as posters, charts, big books, chalk board,
slide shows or SmartBoard)
• Provide captions to videos
• Use hand gestures and body language
• Use sign language
• make yourself available to the student for questions
• Place the student in the front of the room, away from doors
and windows
• speak slowly, loudly and clearly
Teaching strategies
•Make sure you have your students attention before you
begin speaking (Lip-read)
•Don’t stand in the shadow and ensure any facial hair is
kept trimmed so your lips are visual.
•Don’t talk with your back to the students
•Use caption when giving task (Multimedia)
•Minimize sounds (having carpet / mats room)
• People automatically assume that hearing aids correct the problem but it doesn't. That's why it's
called a hearing aid. It helps but the students’ hearing is not fully restored.
