The ear is the part of the body that is used for hearing. Information about the
world is acquired through hearing. Anybody that hears nothing around him, no
matter how loud the sound is should be seen as having ear problem. It is a condition
or rather an impairment which is a physical, observable condition of tissue that can
affect the function of the organ system of which that tissue is a part. Hearing
impairment is a disability that can affect the effective functioning of the total
personality no matter the period of onset. Among the earliest attempt to define
hearing impaired was the one made by the committee of Nomenclature of the
conference of Executives of American schools for the deaf (1938) which says
that the deaf are those people in whom the sense of hearing is non-functioning for
the ordinary purpose of life. According to them also, the hard-of-hearing can be
defined as those in whom the sense of hearing although defective is functional with
or without a hearing aid.

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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Introduction: Hearing impairment refers to hearing loss that prevents a
person from totally receiving sounds through the ear. If the loss is mild,
the person has difficulty hearing faint or distant speech. A person with
this degree of hearing impairment may use a hearing aid to amplify
sounds. If the hearing loss is severe, the person may not be able to
distinguish any sounds. We generally use various terms for hearing loss
such as hard of hearing, deafness, hearing impairment or minimal hearing
loss.
Deafness means a hearing impairment that is so severe that the
child is impaired in processing linguistic information through hearing, with
or without amplification and that adversely affects a child’s educational
performance (Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of
2004, USA). Minimal Hearing Loss (MHL) which is not included in the
federal definition of hearing impairment but which can cause problems
for students is defined as a loss between 16 and 25 dB
3. According to the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016,
Hearing impairment—(a) “deaf” means persons having 70 DB hearing loss
in speech frequencies in both ears; (b) “hard of hearing” means person
having 60 DB to 70 DB hearing loss in speech frequencies in both ears.
Assessment and Classification of Hearing Impairment: Assessment of
hearing impairment may be categorized into two type informal and formal
assessment.
Informal Assessment: Teachers have an ideal opportunity to
conduct informal assessment related to hearing impairment. Informal
assessment focuses on observing students for signs that might indicate a
hearing loss. Hence this assessment is totally based on listening ability of
students that is observed by parents, family members, teachers and
others.
4. Formal Assessment: If there is a reason to believe that the child has
a hearing impairment, a more formal assessment should be provided.
Hearing sensitivity of each ear is measured separately and the
severity/degree of hearing impairment/hearing loss is generally classified
in six categories as per Goodman’s (1965) classification and an additional
category-slight hearing loss is added between the normal hearing and
mild hearing loss especially when assessing the hearing sensitivity of
young children.
The most common method of evaluating hearing is the use of pure-
tone audiometry, in which sounds of different frequencies are presented
at increasing levels of intensity. This assessment determines the hearing
threshold of the student for different frequency pure tones in each ear.
Another type of formal hearing assessment is tympanometry screening,
also known as impedance audiometry. Tympanometry screening can
detect defects in the middle ear, which could significantly impact
education.
5. Classification of Severity of Hearing Impairment
*PTA: Pure-Tone Audiometry
*dHBL: decibels Hearing Level
Classification PTA range in dHBL
Normal Hearing Loss -10 - 15
Slight Hearing Loss 16 - 25
Mild Hearing Loss 26 - 45
Moderate Hearing Loss 46 - 55
Moderately Severe Hearing Loss 56 - 70
Severe Hearing Loss 71 - 90
Profound Hearing Loss 90+

9. SYMPTOMS OF HEARING IMPAIRMENT:
1. Non- response (shock) of the child for loud clapping within 3 feet.
2. Unable to turn towards the direction of the sound.
3. Delay in understanding.
4. Insist the teacher to repeat the taught units.
5. Keen observation of the facial expressions of teacher, while talking.
6. Very low level skills in Listening and Understanding.
7. More stammering while speaking and very poor in reading.
8. Bend head to listen to the side of speakers.
9. Differences in voice, sound and pronunciation.
10. Non-responding while calling.
11. Disinterested in listening to stories.
12. Leakage of puss from ears.
13. Seek others help when teacher dictates in the class.
10. Types of Hearing Loss: If any part of the hearing system is unable to
perform the result is hearing loss. There are four types of hearing loss;
i. Conductive
ii. Sensory neural
iii. Mixed and
iv. Central.
Conductive Hearing Loss: A conductive hearing loss is caused by any
condition or disease that impedes the conveyance of sound in its
mechanical form through the middle ear cavity to the inner ear. A
conductive hearing loss can be the result of a blockage in the external ear
canal or can be caused by any disorder that unfavorably affects the
middle ear’s ability to transmit the mechanical energy to the stapes
footplate. Generally, the cause of conductive hearing loss can be
identified and treated resulting in a complete or partial improvement in
hearing.
11. Sensorineural hearing loss: It results from inner ear or auditory nerve
dysfunction. The sensory component may be from damage to the organ
of Corti, an inability of the hair cells to stimulate the nerves of hearing or
a metabolic problem in the fluids of the inner ear.
Mixed Hearing Loss: A mixed hearing loss can be thought of as a
sensorineural hearing loss with a conductive component overlaying all or
part of the audiometric range tested. So, in addition to some irreversible
hearing loss caused by an inner ear or auditory nerve disorder, there is
also a dysfunction of the middle ear mechanism that makes the hearing
worse than the sensorineural loss alone.
Central Hearing Loss: Central hearing loss is caused by a problem with the
auditory nerve or sound centers. Sounds waves may travel through the
ear but this nerve pathway is unable to send electrical impulses to the
brain. As a result, the hearing centers do not receive the signals correctly.
Central hearing loss can be a result of a head injury or a disease. A
common symptom is the ability to detect sound but not being able to
understand it.
12. REASONS FOR HEARING IMPAIRMENT
1. Genetical factors (Related to Genes).
2. Non Genetical factors (unrelated to Genes).
GENETICAL FACTORS
• Close relationship marriage.
• Genetic defects.
• Genes Aberrations.
NON –GENETICAL FACTORS
• Chicken Pox.
• High fever e.g. Flu fever, Dengue fever.
• Inflammation in inner ear during accident.
• Defects in the ear-brain nerves.
• Brain injury disturbing the growth of language skill.
• Exposure to loud noise.
• Nerves problem in old age.
• Jaundice during pregnancy.
• Mal- Nutrition during pregnancy.
13. ROLE OF TEACHERS IN TEACHING THE HEARING IMPAIRMENT
• The Hearing impaired children must have a good view of the teacher in the
classroom. A good rapport between the teacher and the students is to be
maintained.
• The teachers must look at the faces of these students while teaching, so that
they follow the lip movement and the gestures of the teachers.
• The teachers should use more teaching learning materials; especially more
visual pictures are to be used.
• More training for speaking skills should be given.
• While teaching new lessons, real objects must be used.
• More reading practice is given to the learners.
• While teaching new lessons, the teacher writes it on the blackboard and
explains the contents.
14. • Develop speech skill through conversation.
• Provide opportunities for visual experiences.
• Make use of mirrors for speech practice.
• Integrate writing activities with reading skills.
• Avoid signs among the less hearing impaired children.
• Train the students to read simple sentences.
• Provide opportunities for the children to learn drama & conversation lessons
in a simple way.
• Ascertain whether the students use the hearing aids properly in the class
room.
• More colourful pictures, charts and flash cards are to be used.
• Teacher creates opportunities to bring out individual talents and creativity.
