1.3 The Aftermath

The first thing we did in this section was we made a model of the ear. Mallory and I worked together to name all of the structure in the outer, middle, and inner ear. We were also assigned a patient to find out what type of ear problem they had. We found out that our patient had Labyrinthitis. Next we learned how to use a tuning fork to test for hearing loss. In this section, we also took the speech-in-noise test. I didn't do very well on that one. The final section we performed a debate on whether or not cochlear implants should be used. I said that they should be. My team did pretty well on the debate.
