Title: 3.1: Lesson 3 Discussion Forum
Course: 15SP-HIS-120-W02-A & P OF AUDITORY AND SPEECH

Now that you've learned about a variety of disorders that affect the outer, middle, and inner ear, let's talk about any personal connections that you may have to these disorders. I really believe that we can learn a lot from each other!  Textbooks don't teach the emotion associated with a sudden sensorineural hearing loss or the anxiety of a parent whose child has to be sedated to have tubes put in.

Please discuss the experiences that you or a friend/family member have had due to a hearing disorder.  It can be something as simple as a grandparent unknowingly having occluding ear wax or as complicated as the debilitating experiences associated with Meniere's disease.  This discussion is not limited to the pathologies we've specifically addressed this week, but it should be a disorder of the outer, middle, or inner ear.

If you cannot think of a personal connection, please choose a disorder and let your imagination guide you :-)

Your inital post is due by Sunday, February 15th at 11:59pm and you should respond to two peers by Wednesday, February 18th at 11:59pm.
