Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD) is defined as a hearing condition in which sound enters the inner ear normally‚ but the transmission of the signal to the brain is impaired. The characteristics of ANSD are highly variable and can manifest as any degree of hearing loss and functional ability. Some individuals with ANSD have minimal auditory complaints and do not know of their condition until adulthood. Others can have a complete lack of sound awareness‚ localization and auditory-based

and a majority of hearing people do. In order for a Deaf individual to rely solely on speech to communicate they must rely largely on amplification. Hearing aids or Cochlear implants are necessary for amplification. The majority of the Deaf Community has had a hard time accepting Cochlear implants in particular. These implants require extremely evasive surgery that can be done as early as under a year old. It is not hard to see why an optional surgery of this nature would cause controversy amongst

The two essays that I chose to read were "Setting the Table" and "Cochlear Implants". What characteristics make these essays expository? Both of the two essays I have read show facts and evidence to support their topics. The information was presented in a fair and non-biased manner. The facts given were clearly used to support a concept in "Setting the Table"‚ and the evidence used in "Cochlear Implants" about deafness‚ was to support facts. The type of organization used for

Question 6: How do sub dermal implants release their medication into the human body? A sub-Dermal implant is a small silicone tube that contains a small amount of the required medication. The tube is inserted into the body at a point where it is safe to remain under the skin and can still access the bloodstream. It then releases the correct amount of medication into the blood. These sub-dermal implants are able to last for years and when all of the medication is used

the present article‚ the authors investigate the use of flame spheroidized hydroxyapatite particulates in a PEEK polymer for usage as bone analogue materials. Metallic implants have been used for orthopedic implants in the past‚ but polymeric implants have been explored due to stress-shielding issues associated with metallic implants. Wolf’s Law states that if bone is not subjected to mechanical stimuli‚ then it will be absorbed (Uhthoff and Dubuc‚ 1971). Therefore‚ it is important to develop a material

to restore a sense of vision to people with profound vision loss due to retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration. A bionic eye mimics the function of the retina to restore sight for those with severe vision loss. It uses a retinal implant connected to a video camera to convert images into electrical impulses that activate remaining retinal cells which then carry the signal back to the brain. The way it works is bionic vision system consists of a camera‚ attached to a pair of glasses

tried out the prosthesis in rhesus monkeys‚ which successfully improved its memory. And‚ now‚ it’s time to implant it on human. But‚ could this similar implant really work on human brain?However‚ being optimistic‚ Berger told IEEE Spectrum Syncing up with Kernel‚ Berger is planning to market the implant as a medical device‚ which can be helpful to the memory impaired. With a version of this implant‚ he is currently conducting a human trial‚ and so far his patients are responding well on memory test.
