Captioning
Which two types of captioning involve a live person typing on a machine?
C-PRINT and CART
What is Tactile ASL?
When someone uses regular American Sign Language signs and a DeafBlind person puts their hands on top of the signer's.
What are the two main types of hearing loss?
Sensorineural and conductive.
What is congenital hearing loss?
Hearing loss that you're born with.
I'll pull up an audiogram. Show me how to calculate the average decibel loss.
Average the Y axis values.
What's the difference between CART and C-PRINT
CART is word-for-word/verbatim, not designed for Deaf people. C-PRINT is meaning-for-meaning, making it easier to read and including visual information that a Deaf reader might miss.
What are haptics?
The practice of giving additional non-language visual information to DeafBlind people through touch, like scratching their leg to show that the audience is laughing, or drawing the layout of a room.
What is a sensorineural loss?
Damage in the deepest part of the ear-- cilia, cochlea itself, auditory nerve. Irreversible.
A roller coaster-- more pronounced losses in the higher frequencies.
What is a pre-lingual hearing loss?
Hearing loss that occurred before a person learned to speak.
When were the TDCA (captioning law) and the Americans with Disabilities Act passed?
1990
What is ProTactile?
A newer method of communication DeafBlind people have developed, using the conversation partner's body as a surface to sign on and evolving ASL signs to be more tactile.
What is a conductive loss?
Something that prevents the sound from being conducted all the way through the ear-- damage or blockage. This is only sometimes reversible.
What is a bilateral hearing loss?
A hearing loss in both ears.
What is a unilateral hearing loss?
Hearing loss in only one ear.
What's the difference between closed and open captions?
Closed captions have to be enabled. Open captions can't be turned off; they're always there.
What is Braille?
The system of raised dots that blind people use to have access to printed text.
What are three causes of sensorineural hearing loss?
Acoustic trauma, age, fevers causing cilia to die
What is an asymmetrical hearing loss?
Hearing loss that's significantly DIFFERENT in each ear-- the audiogram lines look very different.
What is a stable hearing loss?
Hearing loss that stays the same over time.
What's the difference between subtitles and captions?
Subtitles are for a hearing audience. Captions include auditory information like speaker identification and sound effects.
What is presbycusis?
Age-related hearing loss.
What are three causes of conductive loss?
Fluid in the ears, a broken eardrum, problem with ossicles (hearing bones)
I'll draw an audiogram on the board. Put an X where you would find a noise that is HIGH pitched and QUIET.

What is an acquired/delayed onset hearing loss?
