Explanation:
Hearing Impairment
Hearing impairment is a condition in which you can’t completely receive sounds through your ears. It can fluctuate or be permanent. The amount of loss can vary from being hard of hearing to complete deafness.
Hearing loss can either be conductive or sensorineural.
Speech Impairment
Speech impairment, also called communication disorder, or voice disorder, is a condition in which you have trouble forming sounds. Speech impairments vary, from occasionally not being able to produce sounds, to not being able to produce sound at all. Symptoms of speech impairment include:
stuttering
adding extra sounds and words
elongating words
distorting sounds when talking
visible frustration when trying to communicate
taking frequent pauses when trying to communicate
problems with articulation
problems with your voice
Speech impairment can be a problem with the following activities:
articulation, or making sounds
phonological processes, or hearing and repeating sound patterns
Speech impairment can be caused by many things, such as:
developmental disorders
neurological disorders
genetic syndromes
hearing loss
illness
Some mild speech disorders disappear after time. Treatment aims to improve articulation through speech therapy, and by strengthening vocal cords and other muscles used to make speech.
