Hello friends, thank you all for listening to the sixth episode of Emily Vs. Science! I was super-super excited to do this episode since it is what I am studying at UW- Madison for my undergraduate degree. I really love learning about speech and hearing and hopefully this episode sheds some light on why!

Before I drop the links mentioned in the episode as promised, here is some information on correct terminology when referring to hearing loss from the National Association of the Deaf.

Here are the links as promised:

Stanford Children’s Health: newborn hearing tests
Diagram of outer, middle, and inner ear (for anatomy purposes)
ASHA: Types of hearing loss
Eustachian Tube
Speech Banana
Understanding an audiogram
Johns Hopkins: hearing aids
Diagram of tiny bones in the middle ear (just for funsies- they are REALLY small!)

I know I didn’t go into great detail about Cochlear implants, but I did want to make sure I left a few resources about them!

Again, thank you for tuning in and catch ya in the next episode!
