Deaf Education A Guide to Understanding Hearing Aids and Cochlear Implants

https://www.TeachShare.com/Product/Deaf-Education-A-Guide-to-Understanding-Hearing-Aids-and-Cochlear-Implants-11101428

In this product, students will learn about the process of receiving cochlear implants. They can add a picture of themselves to the first page of the booklet. Students will learn or review what steps are needed to receive cochlear implants - a hearing test, going for a scan to determine if cochlear implants would benefit a Deaf individual, going to the hospital to have cochlear implant surgery, a doctor called an otolaryngologist performs cochlear implant surgery, and what happens after surgery, when cochlear implants are turned on and mapped.

Students will review how they can care for their cochlear implants upon receiving them - charging them, putting them in their case when they are not being used, and where they should not go.

Students will be able to draw a picture of themselves wearing their cochlear implant(s). Students can then circle the color of their cochlear implants on the sheets provided. If the color of their cochlear implant is not included in the product, students can color the cochlear implants(s) pictures to show what they look like. At the end of this section, students will complete a fill in the blanks and true/false vocabulary review based on what was covered in the product.

Students will then learn about facts about hearing loss and Deafness - Examples: some people wear one hearing aid, one cochlear implant, two cochlear implants, etc., some people who are Deaf and have cochlear implants may use American Sign Language to communicate, the parts of the ear are reviewed - outer ear, ear canal, eardrum, cochlea, and auditory nerve, and how they work together to help someone hear. Students will label the parts of an ear diagram that is included in this product, identify the differences between hearing aids and cochlear implants, learn the different parts of the internal and external components of cochlear implants and where they are located using a diagram. Students will have the opportunity to again complete a fill in the blanks using a key to review what was learned about hearing aids and cochlear implants, and label a cochlear implant using a key. Students will review how the parts of the cochlear implant work together that allows them to hear. Sound fields and FM systems are also reviewed in this product.

At the end of the product, there are three slides that include the sign language and pictures to help students understand the process that takes place to when having cochlear implant surgery and once surgery has been completed.
