observation..people may wonder what is it...
ya..basically it's just observing what the clinicians do in the clinic..
throughout these two weeks, i did gain lotsa experience and learn lotsa stuff..
finally i got a clearer picture of what i'm gonna be and do after i graduated..
but one thing which i felt sorry for myself is that i didnt make it to study in detail about all the hearing tests..
i only get to know things that i observed..
perhaps i should plan a 'research' sessions next time!
and im exposed to all kind of patients..
patients from all walk of life..
parents of children with jaundice which leads to sepsis, and consequently the child need to take ototoxic drugs which put them in high risk for hearing loss..
parents with loss of child, and having the child with high risk of hearing loss..(isnt that sad?)
patients of autism child who is difficult to communicate..
patients of syndromic child who continuously hit himself..
patients of down syndromes..(wondering why is it that we'd all these unfortunate children, why our God creates all these sufferings to human)
old folks with hearing loss of more than 10 years..and now that when they're fixed with hearing aids they couldnt understand speech anymore cause they had forgotten all the speech words..
the unfortunate ones with severe hearing loss may get the chances to go for cochlear implant if they're lucky enough..
though hearing aids and cochlear implant may help but..no matter what the reception of "artificially produced" sound would not be as natural as what we received..
so the two weeks of observations is just purely observing them without much studies of theory which i admit is a failure from what i planned initially..
but the gain of insight is my greatest unexpected outcome..
