Here are the comments on the hearing in the following cases:
1. Positive Rinne in each ear & Weber test referred equally to each ear:
- This indicates symmetrical hearing in both ears with normal hearing or bilateral equally reduced sensorineural hearing loss.
2. Negative Rinne on right & Weber referred to right:
- This suggests conductive hearing loss in the right ear.
3. Negative Rinne on left & Weber referred to left:
- This suggests conductive hearing loss in the left ear.
4. Negative Rinne bilaterally & Weber referred to left:
- This indicates conductive hearing loss in both ears, but worse in the left ear.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. • Loud sounds and hearing loss
• Intense sounds can cause
1. hair cell death
2. nerve fiber degeneration
• What is Hearing Testing?
• Hearing testing is a means of evaluating an individual's overall hearing
function.
• Hearing can be impaired due to lesions in the external ear canal, the middle
ear, or the inner ear.
• The purpose of hearing testing is to evaluate hearing function and, if it is
impaired, to attempt to localize the site of lesion.
3.
4. Types of deafness/ hearing loss
1. Sensorineural (SN) hearing loss/ Nerve Deafness – impairment of
the cochlea or impairment of the auditory nerve
2. Conductive hearing loss/ Conduction Deafness– impairment of the
physical structures that conduct the sound into the cochlea
3. Mixed hearing loss
5. 1. Sensorineural (SN) hearing loss
• destruction of the cochlear or the auditory nerve
• the person becomes permanently deaf
6. • It results from lesions of the cochlea (sensory type) or
• VIIIth nerve and its central connections (neural type).
• The term retrocochlear is used when hearing loss is due to lesions of
VIIIth nerve, and
• central deafness, when it is due to lesions of central auditory
connections.
7. 2. Conductive hearing loss
• destruction of tympanum-ossicular system
• sound can still be heard via bone (ossicular) conduction
8. Conductive hearing loss
• It is caused by any disease process interfering with the conduction of
sound from the external ear to the stapediovestibular joint.
• Thus the cause may lie in
9. 3. Mixed hearing loss
• In this type, elements of both conductive and sensorineural deafness
are present in the same ear.
• There is air-bone gap indicating conductive element, and impairment
of bone conduction indicating sensorineural loss.
• Mixed hearing loss is seen in some cases of otosclerosis and chronic
suppurative otitis media.
10. While assessing the auditory function it is
important to find out:
A. Type of hearing loss
A. (conductive, sensorineural or mixed).
B. Degree of hearing loss
A. (mild, moderate, moderately severe, severe, profound or total).
C. Site of lesion.
A. If conductive, the lesion may be at external ear, tympanic membrane,
middle ear, ossicles or eustachian tube. Clinical examination and
tympanometry can be helpful to find the site of such lesions.
B. If sensorineural, find out whether the lesion is cochlear,
retrocochlear or central. Special tests of hearing will be required to
differentiate these types.
D. Cause of hearing loss.
A. The cause may be congenital, traumatic, infective, neoplastic,
degenerative, metabolic, ototoxic, vascular or autoimmune process.
Detailed history and laboratory investigations are required.
11. Bedside Testing of Hearing
• Three different sized tuning forks. The higher pitched forks (such as
the 256 or 512 Hz fork) are more appropriate for hearing testing.
12. Rinne’s Test
• The single most common office test is a tuning fork test called the
Rinne, named after Adolf Rinne, who described this test in 1855.
• In the Rinne test, a comparison is made between hearing elicited by
placing the base of a tuning fork applied to the mastoid process
(bone), and then after the sound is no longer appreciated, the
vibrating top is placed one inch from the external ear canal (air).
13. • Normal findings
• The sound is louder at the ear, that is, air conduction is better than bone
conduction.
• Record this as AC > BC; this is normal (Rinne positive).
• Abnormal findings
• If the sound is louder on the mastoid process, bone conduction is better than air
conduction.
• Record this as BC > AC (Rinne negative).
• This applies in conductive deafness
• A false-negative Rinne’s test may occur if hearing is very poor on one side.
• Then, the sound travelling through the air is not perceived but, when the tuning
fork is placed on the mastoid process of the ‘poor’ ear, the sound is conducted
through the skull and heard in the ‘good’ ear.
• In a mild conductive deafness, the Weber test is abnormal (lateralised) before the
Rinne.
14. Normal Hears vibration in air after bone conduction is over
Conduction deafness of
one ear
Vibration in air is not heard after bone conduction is over
Partial nerve deafness of
one ear
Vibration in air is heard after bone conduction is over
Complete nerve deaf-ness
of one ear
Vibration is not heard on the affected side
15. Weber’s Test
• In the Weber test, a 512 Hz tuning fork is placed on the patient's
forehead.
• If the sound lateralizes (is louder on one side than the other), the
patient may have either an ipsilateral conductive hearing loss or a
contralateral sensorineural hearing loss.
Weber
Vertex
16. • Normal findings
• The noise is heard in the middle or equally in both ears.
• Abnormal findings
• The noise is louder in an ear with conductive deafness (test on yourself by
putting a finger in your outer canal to block out surrounding noise).
• In unilateral sensorineural deafness the sound is heard better in the
better-hearing ear.
• In symmetrical hearing loss it is heard in the middle.
17. Normal Hears equally on both sides
Conduction deafness of one ear Sound louder in the diseased ear
Partial nerve deafness of one ear Sound louder in the normal ear
Complete nerve deaf-ness of one ear Sound heard only in the normal ear
18. Tuning fork tests and their interpretation
Test Normal Conductive deafness SN deafness
Rinne AC > BC (Rinne positive) BC > AC (Rinne negative) AC > BC
Weber Not lateralised Lateralised to poorer ear Lateralised to better ear
19. Audiometry
• Audiometry is the term used to describe formal measurement of hearing.
The measurement is usually performed using an "audiometer" by an
"audiologist".
• In audiometry, hearing is measured at frequencies varying from low
pitches (125 Hz) to high pitches (8000 Hz).
• Produces pure tones of different frequencies. Is used to determine the
nature of hearing disabilities.
• The audiometer is calibrated so that zero intensity level of sound at each
frequency is the loudness that can barely be heard by the normal person (0
db).
• Audiometry provides a more precise measurement of hearing.
20. • Air conduction is tested by having the subject wear earphones
attached to the audiometer.
• Pure tones of controlled intensity are delivered to one ear at a time.
• The subject is asked to raise a hand, press a button, or otherwise
indicate when he/she hears a sound.
• An attachment called a bone oscillator is placed against the bone
behind each ear (mastoid bone) to test bone conduction.
21. Audiogram
• The minimum intensity (volume) required to hear each tone is
graphed, and the results are called an audiogram.
• The hearing level is quantified relative to "normal" hearing in decibels
(DB), with higher numbers of DB indicating worse hearing.
• The DB score is not really percent loss, but nevertheless 100 dB
hearing loss is nearly equivalent to complete deafness for that
particular frequency.
• A score of 0 is normal. It is possible to have scores less than 0, which
indicate better than average hearing.
23. • When there is a hearing loss, the next step is to try and determine
whether the loss is caused by a sensory problem (sensorineural
hearing loss) or a mechanical problem (conductive hearing loss).
• This distinction is made by using a bone vibrator, which bypasses the
mechanical parts of the middle ear.
• If hearing is better using bone than air, this suggests a conductive
hearing loss.
24. Interpretation of audiogram
• When air conduction tests show a hearing loss, but there is no loss
identified with bone conduction tests, there may be a conductive
loss.
• When both air and bone conduction results show hearing loss at the
same level, the loss is considered sensorineural.
• If different degrees of hearing loss are found via air and bone
conduction testing, the loss is mixed.
25. Audiogram of right ear showing conductive hearing loss with
Air-Bone gap
29. Conductive hearing loss Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL)
1. Negative Rinne test, i.e. BC > AC.
2. Weber lateralised to poorer ear.
3. Low frequencies affected more.
4. Audiometry shows bone
conduction better than air
conduction with air-bone gap.
Greater the air-bone gap, more is
the conductive loss.
5. Loss is not more than 60 dB.
1. A positive Rinne test, i.e. air AC >
BC.
2. Weber lateralised to better ear.
3. More often involving high
frequencies.
4. No gap between air and bone
conduction curve on audiometry.
5. Loss may exceed 60 dB.
