Cochlear Implants: Hearing Aid For Deaf Children
In the 1900s the first electric hearing aid was invented by a viennese man named Dr. Frederick Alt. One hearing aid was the ear trumpet. Other inventions included snail-shaped with shells, wire spring ran over the top of the head. Many scientists developed hearing aids that the teeth to conduct sound. In the twentieth century hearing aids became smaller and more sophisticated. In the 1932, the Royal Residential School teachers wore microphone and each child wore hearing aids. Most schools forbidden signs. Its strictly that deaf children who do want to sign often feel guilty. In the 1940s there were 312 schools for the deaf. Many schools teach children to lipread. 25% of what is spoken on the lips. In the 1960’s, telephone device for the

Technology continued to develop and new technology became available. One of the most notable advances is the cochlear implant. Approved for testing in 1985, cochlear implants are available to those whose medical condition warrants them. These implants can help deaf persons gain the ability to understand speech and may help deaf children speak more effectively and clearly.
The first hearing aid was created in the 17th century. The movement toward modern hearing aids began with the creation of the telephone, and the first electric hearing aid was created in 1898. By the late 20th century, the digital hearing aid . Some of the first hearing aids were external hearing aids. External hearing aids directed sounds in front of the ear and blocked all other noises. The hearing aid would fit behind or in the ear.
A cochlear implant is an medical device that replaces the function of the damaged inner ear. Unlike hearing aids, which make sounds louder. Cochlear implants do the work of damaged parts of the inner ear to provide sound signals to the brain. Many adults with cochlear implants report that they like it. They say ¨it allows them to have conversation with people across the …show more content…
Here are the symptoms …. If symptoms do occur, they can include: mild ear pain that comes and goes hearing loss,delayed development in speech and language skill ,delayed gross motor skills ,balance problems (vertigo),middle ear infections ,ear drainage,ear barotrauma,earache. I only know a couple of them.
How does a cochlear It's for children and adults with sensorineural hearing loss. That condition typically involves damage to tiny hair cells in a part of your inner ear called the cochlea. These hair cells usually pick up the vibrations of sounds and send them to the brain through the auditory nerve. When they’re damaged, sound can't reach that nerve. A cochlear implant skips the damaged hair cells and sends signals to the auditory nerve directly.
A hearing aid sends sound vibrations entering the ear. Surviving hair cells detect the larger vibrations and changes them into neural signals that are passed along to the brain. The greater the damage to a person’s hair cells, the more severe the hearing loss. The greater the hearing aid sound needed to make up the difference. However, there are practical limits to the amount of sound a hearing aid can provide. In addition, if the inner ear is too damaged, even large vibrations will not be changed into neural signals. In this situation, a hearing aid would be
