Malformation of the Eustachian tube, conductive hearing loss and nuerosensory hearing loss are some auditory defects. They tend to have chronic ear infections. They have a tendency to be more susceptible to infections (Wong
Where we left off: Chemoreceptors: -A receptor that responds to the chemical composition and the fluid around it (PaCO2 & pH) -Located in the medulla/respond to changes in H+ *Increase in H+=ACIDOSIS -Increase in the resp rate/tidal volume *Decrease in H+=ALKALOSIS -Decrease in resp rate/tidal volume Mechanical Receptors: -Located in lungs, upper airways, chest wall & diaphragm *Stimulated by physiological factors -Irritants, muscle stretching & alveolar wall distortion **Hering-Bruer Reflex -Prevents the overdestension of lungs CHAPTER 27 Problems w/nose & sinuses: 1. Deviated Septum -Severely shifted septum -Caused by trauma, present at birth -Interferes with airflow & sinus drainage

A behavior of screaming, yelling, excessive throat clearing, coughing and abusive of alcohol is considered vocal abuse. Vocal abuse is considered to be the harsher of the two with greater risk of injuring vocal fold tissue (Colton & Casper, 1996).

He never really forms a strong relationship with his son Cole. He doesn’t know how to sign well enough to even communicate with him. Throughout Mr. Holland’s Opus you see the psychological aspects of hearing and motivation. Cole (Mr. Holland’s son) was born with conductive deafness, which results when the bones connected to the eardrum fails to transmit sound waves properly to the cochlea. He had a 90% hearing loss.
Other effects of hearing loss are: irritability, negativism and anger, fatigue, tension, stress and depression, avoidance or withdrawal from social situations, social rejection and loneliness, reduced alertness and increased risk to personal safety, impaired memory and ability to learn new tasks, reduced job performance and earning power, diminished psychological and overall health.

4.0 Introduction This chapter presents the description of the socio-demographic profile of the background characteristics of health behavior of 775 respondents in James town, Ussher town and Agbogbloshie 4.1 Age Distribution of Respondents Age distribution is an important determinant of the health behavior of urban poor people. Moreover, it determines the structure of the population for a more understanding of health behavior. As shown in Table 4.1 below, the relatively larger proportion of respondents (36.8 percent) fell within the category of 15-24 year olds. The 25-34 year bracket was also represented by a proportion of 30.5 percent. Respondents above 34 years, that is, 35-44 year olds and 45-59 year olds had lower percentages of 19.6 percent
