- Exomphalos occurs when the abdomen fails to close around the base of the umbilical cord during the early development of the baby.
- Working with teachers, there is big emphasis on learning to listen – prelingual losses – we don’t talk about acclimaitization it is all new info One way to explore is too see what happens when we take aweay the freq trans
- Learing points: 1 he is not an engineer – doesn’t have the technical specs for inteo – 2. He is boy with a profound loss and doesn’t have the auditory map 3. he has had AE for 6 months and his ear and his brain have begun a conversation – this is neural plasticity at work 4. He is searching for the way to describe what has happened – its quieter ,lower, not quite what he wants to say 5. He searches his memory – he has just left primary school and in aust primary schools tod’s would regualrly verify aid function using ht eLING sounds – this means they say where are you aids – this boy is a reluctant user – so teach will say your schoolbag doesn’t need to hear - turn your back tell me if you can hear – oo,ee, ah sh,s – doesn’t hear – increase intenisty and lateralise sound ( and give a spray) child hears – but also then learns the lateral /s/ 6. So he remembers this and rehearses exactly as he would have seen at school AEoff, doesn’t hear 7. This is a spontaneous video clip which is strong clinical evidence and I find fasciniating
