1. Definitions

The terms deafness and hearing impairment have definite and distinct meanings. The two terms are not interchangeable. Deaf people see themselves as belonging to a cultural and linguistic minority as opposed to people with a disability or a hearing impairment.

The term Deaf culture in this unit standard refers to the traditions of the Deaf community and the way Deaf people live their ordinary lives as outlined by the Deaf Association of New Zealand.

Assessment tasksTask One - Describe the difference between deafness and hearing impairment(Written or oral assessment) (PC 1.1)

Part A The basic structure and functions of the visual system. (PC 1.1)

Please describe the difference(s) between deafness and hearing impairment in terms of impact on the individual.

From a technical point of view; or From a cultural/social point of view; or Your answer may combine both technical and cultural/social points of view.

Example one (technical emphasis):Hearing impairment is a broad, technical term that is used to describe the loss of hearing (which can be partial, complete or progressive hearing loss) in one or both ears. People with hearing impairment may refer to themselves as hard of hearing. People who have acquired deafness in adulthood are more likely to use the term hard of hearing than people who were profoundly deaf from birth. There are different types and degrees of hearing impairment which can be mild, moderate, severe or profound. Hearing impairment is defined in terms of where the problem is located. Conductive hearing impairment results from a problem in the outer or middle ear, and is often able to be treated surgically or medically. Sensori-neural hearing impairment generally results from a problem in the inner ear and is usually permanent. It can be helped with an assistive device such as a hearing aid.Deafness generally implies a profound loss of hearing and/or refers to the complete loss of hearing in one or both ears. A totally deaf person (which is relatively rare) is completely incapable of hearing and relies on lip reading or sign language for communication. But some people who are clinically deaf are still able to discern sounds at certain frequencies, but in insufficient clarity to conduct a conversation within the frequency range that is typical for speech. Deafness can be inherited, and if one or more of the parents is born deaf, there is a higher chance that a child will also be born deaf.

Example two (cultural/social emphasis):

Assessment tasksTask Two - Describe the basic structure and function of the ear (Written or oral assessment) (PC 2.1)

On the following table you are asked to give an accurate account of the structure and function of each of the eight named organs of the outer, middle and inner ear.

You should describe the function of each organ, and also describe how the organ relates to other organ(s) in terms of functionality.

For your answers you can use: Diagrams and accurate written descriptions; or Accurate oral descriptions; or A combination of diagrams and descriptions.

Eardrum

Cochlea

Auditory nerve

Semi-circular canals .

Assessment tasksTask Three Describe the major effects of hearing impairment on communication(Written or oral assessment) (PC 3.1)This assessment task has two parts Part A and Part B.

Part A Describe the major effects of hearing impairment on communication by completing the right-hand columns in the following two tables.

Table One

Types of hearing impairmentEffects on communication

ConductiveCan be acquired or congenital. Person with this condition having difficulty hearing someone talking in a noisy environment or from distance. There is a problem in the outer or middle part of the ears, this affect the way sound is carried, through the inner ear and the rest of the auditory system.

Sensori-neuralLoudness and clarity of sound decreases and can be congenital or acquired. It's like you are listening in a foreign language, because sound is not loud enough for them to hear.

MixedHearing loss results from damage to, or disorders of, both the inner ear and the outer or middle ear. Both conduction and sensori-neural is present. In some cases of mixed hearing loss, medical treatment of the cause of the conductive component of the hearing loss may improve the individual's overall hearing.

Table Two

Types of hearing impairmentEffects on communication

MildSoft noises are not heard. Understanding speech is difficult in a loud environment.

ModerateSoft and moderately loud noises are not heard. Understanding speech becomes very difficult if background noise is present.

SevereConversations have to be conducted loudly. Group conversations are possible only with a lot of effort.

ProfoundSome very loud noises are heard. Without a hearing aid, communication is no longer possible even with intense effort.

Part B How does the age of onset of hearing impairment affect a persons ability to communicate?

If hearing impairment starts at birth or congenital person develop mild to moderate hearing problem. They have difficulty producing sounds communicating to someone. Also there having hard time speaking and pronouncing words because at this age this skills are not yet develop. However, if hearing loss starts at middle age onwards this person will be able to communicate because he/she already develop the skill of speech and pronounciation.

Assessment tasksTask Four - Describe the psycho-social effects of hearing impairment(Written or oral assessment) (PC 4.1, 4.2)

This assessment task has two parts Part A and Part B.

Psycho-social effects are those effects which have the potential to impact on a persons lifestyle. The following effects psychological, social, educational, recreational and vocational need to be understood and described.

Please complete the right-hand columns in the following table with sufficient detail to show the assessor that you can demonstrate a clear understanding of the psycho-social effects of hearing impairment on a persons lifestyle under the five headings listed in the table.

Psycho-social effectExamples of potential impact of a hearing impairment on the persons lifestyle

Psychologicaldepression is commonly seen as a response to any loss. The primary one involves reduced ability to hear and communicate leading to interpersonal challenges. Secondly, status and career possibilities may suffer from the belief that elder's skills are affected by the loss.

SocialWithdrawal from social family and friends is a common scene. The deaf/hard of hearing would feel isolated even from their own families, missing side conversations or easy exchangeof teasing remarks. They feel a sense of guilt for unsuccessful communication and blame themselves for undertanding.

EducationalChildren who have hearing loss have a sluggish vocabulary development: has difficulty understanding words with multiple meanings and the meaning of abstract word such as jealousy compared to concrete words such as red and jump. These children have difficulty in all subject areas such as reading and math.

RecreationalIn doing recreational activies , communication difficulties will having hard time completin their task which can result to poor self-e steem and worst can lead them to social isolation.

VocationalIt will also affect in persons vocation, difficulty deciding what vocation will suit to them. People around them may descriminate and show negative attitudes to the person having hearing impairment.

Part B: Misconceptions about hearing impairment (PC 4.2)

Misconceptions are views that a person holds and believes to be true, when they are actually incorrect or untrue. What are two common misconceptions about hearing impairment or about a person with a hearing impairment?

Misconception number one:

It's not true that people with hearing loss tend to be older adults. Of the 36 million people with some form of hearing loss, only 30 percent are 65 or older.

Misconception number two:

Some may think that hearing aid can cure hearing loss, fact is hearing aid is just a device to help a person with hearing impairment to improve the range of sounds that they can hear.
