hearing impairment
helping those who are hearing impaired
what is hearing impairment
Conductive hearing loss results from a problem with the outer or middle ear, including the ear canal, eardrum, or ossicles. A blockage or other structural problem interferes with how sound gets conducted through the ear, making sound levels seem lower. In many cases, conductive hearing loss can be corrected with medications or surgery.
how it is caused
Many children can be born deaf due to genetic complication. Deafness can be passed down from generation to generation even if there is no history of anyone having a hearing impairment. Children that are born prematurely have a higher risk of becoming deaf or having an infection that can cause deafness. Occasionally some cases of hearing loss are caused by a head injury or being exposed to exposed to a large amount of extremely loud noise.
Communication Information
some deaf people are able to speak
if they weren't born deaf then they can speak better than people that were born deaf
How deaf people learn how to communicate
they go to a school for the deaf and learn how to sign
America Sign Language (ASL)
a deafs persons way to communicate
remember sign language is another language
different type of hearing loss
Conductive hearing loss results from a problem with the outer or middle ear, including the ear canal, eardrum, or a blockage of sound
Conductive hearing loss is the result of disorders in either the outer or middle ear, which prevent sound from getting to the inner ear. Voices and sounds may sound faint, distorted or both.
Some common causes of conductive hearing loss
Infection of the ear canal or middle ear
Fluid in the middle ear
Perforation or scarring of the eardrum
Wax build-up
Dislocation of the ossicles (three middle-ear bones)
Foreign objects in the ear canal
Otosclerosis
Unusual growths, tumors
Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Sensorineural hearing loss occurs when inner ear nerves become damaged and do not properly transmit their signals to the brain. .
Injury
Excessive noise exposure
Viral infections (such as measles or mumps)
Ototoxic drugs (medications that damage hearing)
Meningitis
Diabetes
Stroke
High fever
Ménière's disease
Acoustic tumors
Heredity
Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common type of hearing loss among adults (occurs in 80 percent of adult cases). It is not often medically or surgically treatable. Most sensorineural hearing loss can be successfully treated with hearing aids.
Mixed hearing loss- mixture of conductive and sensorineural
is there a cure?/laws about the deaf
theoretical physics Levashov developed a totally new approach to health care. He termed his discoveries "The New Knowledge".
“I am a 56 year old man who awoke one morning with hearing loss. I went to a specialist and the audio test showed significant hearing loss. A short time later my hearing was completely gone in my left ear. The medication I was given didn't solve the problem. I found Robert Ginsburg on the internet and despite my skepticism I decided to proceed. After a short series of treatments Robert's work completely restored my hearing. If you are skeptical as I was give it a try anyway. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.”
- Rod Carson, Utah
“This system is distinct from anything else in the medical field. Among the scientific disciplines incorporated are quantum physics, anatomy, physiology and consciousness studies. Levashov's healing work proved so effective he was asked to teach in Russian medical schools. I studied with Levashov for fifteen years after he moved to San Francisco.”
-Robert Ginsburg
“Before my training with Levashov I pursued a 20 year legal career after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. During this period I served as an Assistant District Attorney in Philadelphia. Among my assignments were several front-page and precedent setting cases including a series featured on Sixty Minutes. While practicing law I became interested in energy healing and studied many forms of healing including Reiki, Polarity Therapy, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Pranic Healing, and the Rubenfeld Synergy Method, a 3-year program integrating Feldenkrais Method, Alexander Technique, and Gestalt Therapy.”
-Robert Ginsburg“I was frequently awakened about 2:00 AM by my wife with complaints of rapid pulse, trouble breathing and irregular heartbeats. The diagnosis was atrial fibrillation. Gradually the attacks became more severe and lasted longer. One episode began at 2:00 AM and was still strong at 7:00 AM. My wife did not want to go to the emergency room for electric shock defibrillation so instead we called Robert Ginsburg. Within ten minutes of telephone treatment, the rapid heart rate returned to normal and after twenty minutes the irregular heart rate became regular. I have researched the scientific basis of Robert Ginsburg's work and truly think this type of energy healing is the medicine of the future”

How to communicate more easily with hearing impaired people
You should carry around a notepad or touch device that can write notes to talk to the hearing impaired person
Trimming a moustache or beard might help for hearing impaired people to read your lips more easily.
