Central auditory processing disorder (CAPD)
 
  a. is considered a type of hearing loss because of the limited ability to use auditory information. b. occurs only at the lower frequencies.
  c. is greater than a 70dB loss.
  d. is corrected through greater amplification

Question 2

Explain the difference between a conductive hearing loss and a sensorineural hearing loss in terms of the type of damage and the functional outcome.

Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: a

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: A conductive hearing loss refers to any condition that impedes the sequence of vibrations or prevents them from reaching the auditory nerve, resulting in a loss in conduction. Sensorineural hearing losses are caused by defects of the inner ear or auditory nerve. Conductive hearing losses are seldom more than 60 to 70 dB. These losses can be effectively reduced through amplification, medical treatment, or surgery. Sensorineural losses can affect only certain frequencies, especially the high frequencies.

Once thought to have neurofibromatosis, Joseph Merrick (also known as "the elephant man") is now, in retrospect, thought by clinical experts to have had Proteus syndrome. This endocrine disease causes continued and abnormal growth of the bones, muscles, skin, and so on and can become completely debilitating with severe deformities occurring anywhere on the body.
