    ASSESSING HUMAN HEARING -REMIX

    Overview

    This resource provides students with a audiogram simulator students can use to guage  levels of auditory perception of the right and left ear on an audiogram leading students to determine levels of hearing loss  from hearing with in normal limits, mild, moderate, severe, to profound.

    Using an audiogram creator to learn about degrees of hearing loss

    http://goopennc.oercommons.org/courses/assessing-human-hearing/view by Royal Biological Society and Neffield Foundation provides directions on how to create hearing simulations for students including software to represent souns measured by hertz and frequency .

    It would be helpful to include an audiogram creator which visually shows types of hearing loss based upon audiogram results and provides students with degrees of hearing loss parameters including hearing within normal limits, mild, moderate, severe, and profound visually on a simulated audiogram.

    Questions to ask after completing assessing human hearing student simulations and completing a audiogram using a representational student with a hearing loss:

    • After plotting a student's hearing with Xs and Os on the audiogram, what are some typical sound phonemes they can hear?
    • After plotting a student's hearing with Xs and Os on the audiogram, what are some typical sound phonemes they cannot hear?
    • What type of hearing loss do they have based on the audiogram results-hearing within normal limits, mild, moderate, severe, and profound?
    • Thinking about educational ramifications- what would you suggest the student does now knowing they might have a documented hearing loss?
