A Sound Way To Treat Hearing Loss In Children

There's good news for parents who have a child born with significant hearing loss. Advances in technology are making it possible to address profound hearing loss in children as young as 12 months of age. Approximately one of every 1,000 newborns in the United States-about 33 babies per day-is born profoundly deaf. Fortunately, there are treatment alternatives. For example, cochlear implants are small, complex, implantable electronic devices that restore hearing by bypassing the damaged parts of the ear to directly stimulate the auditory nerve, and may be beneficial to those who cannot hear or understand speech well with a hearing aid. One of the latest developments in cochlear implant technology is the HiResolution?Bionic Ear System. Developed by Advanced Bionics Corporation, the Neuromodulation Group of Boston Scientific Corporation, it is described as the only cochlear implant system that can provide HiResolution sound, which is designed to enhance the fine details of sound to stimulate a more natural hearing nerve response for both children with profound hearing loss and adults with severe or profound hearing loss.
Potential advantages of the cochlear implant include better distance hearing, comfortable loudness growth, and clearer, more understandable speech. Experts say people with cochlear implants can hold normal conversations, hear in noisy environments such as restaurants, use the telephone, work, participate in sports, attend school, and even play musical instruments. Early screening and implementation of a hearing device, such as a cochlear implant, have medical, financial and social benefits. "Cochlear implants, coupled with auditory therapy, can help young children more quickly acquire the speech, language and social skills needed to successfully mainstream into regular classrooms with their normal-hearing peers," said Patricia Trautwein, Au.D., director of auditory education and training for Advanced Bionics. Nearly half of all cochlear implant recipients are children. Children benefit most from a cochlear implant when their hearing loss is detected in its beginning stages and they receive early intervention and treatment. Adult candidates for a cochlear implant are most often those who are post-lingually deaf in both ears. These individuals typically receive limited benefit from hearing aids.

An Overview of Common Hearing Loss Causes
Most sudden hearing loss can be attributed to infection in the ear canal, usually in the middle ear where the eardrum is located. When the eardrum can not vibrate from incoming sound due to the build up of fluid, hearing is greatly impaired. Additionally, the bones of the middle ear are not able to vibrate, preventing mechanical impulses from entering the inner ear to the auditory nerve fibers.

Dealing With Baby Temper Tantrums - Easy Strategies To Help You Cope
We all know the scene with baby temper tantrums. The baby wants something and we have decided that it is neither safe nor desirable. The other typical incident is when they have to relinquish an object which is capable of causing them harm so we attempt to take it from them. As we have seen possession is major driving force.

Toddler Temper Tantrums - Learning How To Prevent Them Is The First Step To A Happier Home
Many parents wonder why on earth toddler temper tantrums happen so frequently in their homes and despair of ever finding the solution. They usually fail to realize that a child can be frustrated, irritated, tired or hungry and that he or she has simply reached his limit, sees no solution in sight and reacts as he only knows how. He makes a lot of noise and gets attention. He does not have any verbal skills so meltdowns are the result.
