Adulthood

/in /by

Early developmental psychology researchers tended to focus research on child development. Some early developmental theorists such as Freud and Piaget, stopped at adolescence. More recently though, scholars of human development have begun to realize how significant change and transitions in adult life can be, and more modern theories include ideas about how humans grow, change, and develop after adolescence through adulthood and beyond. Since all of us will age, it is valuable indeed to have in a sense, a preview, of what to expect in the future from an evidence-based, research point-of-view. Such insights can help ensure we are healthier, happier, and more aware as we go about our personal and professional lives.

For this week, you will examine various cultures and factors that establish adulthood as well as the value and limitations of establishing such factors. You also explore eldercare living to determine the advantages and disadvantages of such later life considerations. Finally, you complete your first Module Assessment where you examine an international, credible news story or current event related to children and/or adult dilemmas.

Audiology audsim

/in /by

This patient is an active 49-year-old woman who works in an office setting . She has had hearing loss, assumedly since birth and there is a history of hearing loss in her family (one sibling and one parent). She has mild tinnitus bilaterally, no fullness nor pain in her ears, and she does not experience dizziness. She is being seen for routine audiological evaluation and hearing aid consultation. The patient is also seeking advice since she has been experiencing difficulty with everyday tasks (eg. Watching tv, talking on the telephone, participating in meetings at work).”

Following the testing procedure learned in class, complete an audiologic evaluation to determine this patient’s hearing thresholds. Make sure you set the transducer to “insert” for each ear. Masking will NOT be used for this case. Make sure to test using AC, BC, and inter-octave frequencies when appropriate.
Use the obtained thresholds to answer the questions on the following page(s).
After you are done with your audiometric testing and answering the questions, click “Show Results” and submit your assignment. A copy of your results will be emailed to me and another copy will be saved in your Documents folder.
Print a copy of your answers and bring them to class to submit. You do not need to print a copy of your audiograms.
For AC, which frequency did you begin testing? At which intensity? (2pt)
Describe the type and degree of hearing loss found in each ear. Include the configuration. (6 pt)
Calculate the pure-tone average (PTA) for each ear: (2pt)
Was testing done at any inter-octave frequencies? If so, which? Why? (4 pt)
Which ear(s) was/were used to conduct bone conduction testing? Does it matter which ear(s) you use? Why or why not? (2 pt)
