Comparing Hearing Healthy and
Hearing Impairment

How hearing and hearing impairment differentiate medically

Hearing aids vs. cochlear implants
How hearing and hearing impairment differentiate in the classroom

schools from hearing aids or cochlear implants that can affect their
learning.

Product
For my product I will make a 3d model of the ear and
explain how sound travels through the ear. Then I will have
a model of a cochlear implant and I will attach it to the
model and explain how it helps a Deaf person.
Conclusion
I hope to learn more about audiology as a profession and I
hope learn more about the importance of aids in the
classroom for Deaf and hard of hearing children.
