Misophonia Essay

As humans we all have something that absolutely annoys us and either makes us want to get rid of whatever is annoying us or just avoid the things that annoy us. Things that annoy us can be as simple as flies, smoking, people who chew with their mouth open, people who mumble, people who tap their fingers on the desk, and door-to-door sales men. These are things that are present in our everyday life and there is nothing that we can do to stop the things that annoy us from happening, but we can eventually learn to deal with them. Sometimes there are times when we run across the things that annoy us and totally loose our control of our emotions, but that is okay because it will only happen to us a couple of times, until we learn to accept that …show more content…

Exposing this article to the public caused people with this condition to see that there were other people that were feeling the things they were feelings and this caused people to reveal what they were feeling, such as Kelly Ripa who is an American actress and is most commonly known for the talk show Live with Kelly. In an interview to ABC news Kelly revealed “that after reading the New York Times article she realized that she suffered from Misophonia.” There are many people like Kelly Ripa who suffer from misophonia; according to “WebMD” patients with misophonia “usually start suffering from this disorder between ages nine and thirteen, and it is more common in women.” Due to the lack of knowledge and research it is becoming very difficult to treat misophonia because professionals do not know much about the misophonia disorder since it has not classified, currently there is a huge controversy between where this disorder should be classified two of the places where this disorder is being considered to be classified under is a psychiatric disorder or an auditory processing

    Deaf Again by Mark Drolsbaugh is an autobiographical piece through which the author relays key aspects and themes in Deaf culture through his own experiences. The progression of the book can be described by his experiences going through the educational system. This can further be divided into two categories: his experiences in the hearing world and in the Deaf world. Although born into a deaf family, Mark Drolsbaugh was not prelingually deaf. As a result, when he lost his hearing, he was coerced to remain in the hearing world. Drolsbaugh’s grandparents took control of his education and did all that was in their power, from hearing aids to speech therapy, to ensure he would fit into hearing culture. This ultimately had a

  • Dyslexia Essay

    Dyslexia is one of the most common neurobehavioral disorders that haunt adolescents throughout their childhood. Commonly known as a reading disability (RD), dyslexia is a hereditary complex trait that occurs in five to seventeen percent of people. Neuroimaging studies show that dyslexic individuals display abnormal brain function compared to fluent readers when challenged with reading assignments (7). The exact genes that code for dyslexia are not certain, however substantial studies have potentially linked dyslexia to the KIAA0319 gene, the DCDC2 gene, and the DYX1 gene. The severity of each case is largely determined by environmental factors such exposure to reading and professional intervention. Significantly, the interplay between these external influences and innate genetic characteristics ultimately determine the performance of the dyslexic individual.

    Reading comprehension is a skill that has to be learned by most of the population. This includes adults that have been reading for many years. There is a difference between reading and reading comprehension. Read is defined as, “to look at and understand the meaning of letters, words, or symbols” (Read, 2014). Comprehension is defined as, “the act or action of grasping with intellect” (Comprehension, 2014). Even as an adult, people may have difficulties with reading comprehension. There can be visual learning disorders such as dyslexia. There are many learning techniques and strategies that can negate or even overcome these visual learning disorders. This paper will discuss a few techniques and strategies that when used can improve reading comprehension such as vocabulary building, effective reading, and reading strategies. With these techniques the road block of dyslexia may no longer be an issue.

    Dyslexia is a very common learning disorder that affects more than three million cases reported every year. It can also be referred to as a language based learning disability. Dyslexia is a disability that impairs one’s ability (usually identified in children) to read and interpret different letters/words. It cannot be cured and is generally a lifelong condition but can be treated with therapists/specialists. This disorder does not translate to poor individual intelligence, just simply an individual that struggles in an area of learning. More often than not, this disability can be self diagnosed by an adult. This disorder is the most common learning disability in American children. Although, scientists cannot pinpoint the percentage of children

  • Pediatric Audiology Essay

    2256 Words  | 5 Pages

    One objective of pediatric audiology is to estimate hearing thresholds so that hearing loss can be identified, quantified, and remediated during critical language-learning years. Although the goal is to closely estimate hearing thresholds, not all infants and children are able to provide behavioral responses that are close to threshold. Because audiologic test methods may not result in threshold estimates, Matkin (1977) coined the term Minimum Response Level (MRL), which is now widely used in the field of pediatric audiology. Matkin recommended using the term MRL to refer to audiologic behavioral responses obtained from pediatric clients when using techniques such as visual reinforcement audiometry “…until the reliability and the validity of the initial test findings are evaluated over time” (pg. 130). The use of the term MRL, according to Matkin, implies that the response behaviors may not be audiometric thresholds but may improve with the child’s maturation. Matkin provided an example, from an unpublished pilot study, when responses may not be indicative of audiometric thresholds. He stated that if a child is “actively involved in a play activity, response levels tended to be 20 to 30 dB poorer than those obtained when there was no sensory input competition”. Karzon (2007) mirrors this definition by recommending that MRLs be used, to represent the “best” response obtained rather than a threshold, when stimulus-response control is not achieved during visual reinforcement audiology (VRA) and/or conditioned play audiometry (CPA).

    The Deaf event I attended was the DEAFestival. This festival took place at the Los Angeles City Hall on October 3rd at 12:00pm. I specifically attended this event because I felt I would be much more comfortable at a larger gathering with more space and people rather than a small one such as Starbucks. Since the festival was greatly occupied I had more time to observe, take everything in slowly, and prepare myself. To say the least, I was extremely nervous. In fact, I don’t remember the last time I was genuinely that apprehensive. The cause of my anxiety was I because didn’t want to embarrass myself and I especially didn’t want to offend anyone. There were so many things going through my head. I stood to the side and repeated everything I knew about Deaf culture and American Sign Language in my head. Nonetheless, after several conversations with deaf individuals I felt marvelous. It wasn’t nearly as bad as I anticipated. The people I had the privilege of communicating with were very

  • Essay On Congenital Hearing Loss

    1163 Words  | 3 Pages

    Congenital hearing loss is described as hearing loss that exists at birth. Factors responsible for this condition include those present during pregnancy (such as hereditary factors), as well as factors present after pregnancy. An inherited congenital hearing loss could be conductive, sensorineural, or even a combination of both. The amount or progression of this type of hearing loss varies according to each individual’s case. According to Richard Smith, congenital hearing loss is “syndromic (associated with malformations of the external ear or other organs or with medical problems involving other organ systems) or nonsyndromic (no associated visible abnormalities of the external ear or any related medical problems)…” Over 400 genetic syndromes are associated with congenital hearing loss. These include Treacher Collins, an autosomal dominant disorder and Down syndrome, an x-linked hearing loss. Although congenital hearing loss can be difficult to live with, hearing aids, surgery, and therapy are all available as forms of treatment. Hearing loss must be treated as soon as possible to prevent as many delays in the child’s language development as possible.

Not everyone gets the chance to live a normal life because they might have a problem or sickness that they have to overcome. Deafness is a disability that enables people to hear. All deafness is not alike; it can range in many different forms. Some people like Gauvin, can be helped with a hearing aid, but some can’t because of their situation and health reasons. In society, hearing individuals consider deafness a disability, while the deaf themselves see it as a cultural significance.

  • Reflection Paper About Emotions

    This can either be a positive or negative thing and how you act on it, or do not act, can show how in control and effective you are with your feelings. According to the text, “just because you feel a certain way does not mean you have to act on it” and that “people who act out angry feelings actually feel worse than those who experience anger without lashing out” (Adler, Rosenfeld, Proctor II, year?). Even though acting on your feelings may seem uncontrollable, it is important to deal with them in a different and more productive way. Recognizing how you feel and using the right approach during a constructive conversation is always better than quickly lashing out without completely understanding the situation or how you feel besides angry. Furthermore, “recognizing the difference between feeling and acting can liberate you from the fear that getting in touch with certain emotions will commit you to a course of action” (Adler, Rosenfeld, Proctor II, year?). Understanding your emotions is important so that you will be able to experience feelings that may upset you and still be able to deal with them from a positive standpoint. Once you can separate your feelings from actions you will be able to make more rational
