In conductive hearing loss, sound intensity is reduced, but sound isn't distorted. Sensorineural hearing loss is more resistant to therapy because it involves damage to the delicate sensory cells of the organ of Corti, which is located in the cochlea. Sensorineural hearing loss has to do ... The hair cells of the organ of Corti cannot grow once they are damaged. Sensorineural hearing loss is rarely reversible. The hearing losses caused by salicylates such as asprin and the early stages of Meniere's Disease are reversible, however. The latter condition is characterized by an imbalance of fluid pressures within the inner ear. If this imbalance is correct soon enough, before hair cell destruction has occurred, hearing will return ... much of each type of damage has occurred. Rehabilitation is available for patients with hearing losses. There are lots of programs and resources for these people. Most are special schools. One example might be Cleary's School for the Deaf.

- 12303: Cosmology
- ... Cosmology covers. Personally, I tend to believe that the big bang theory may have an explanation for the current state of our universe. The idea that all of this exploded from a super mass isn’t too hard to believe. It gives good reason to the expansion of the universe, and the 360degree view of the universe (this because the explosion would have sent mass outward in every direction), but I wouldn’t think of it as the origin of the universe. I mean, in my mind, something had to be there to cause this super mass. Was the universe contracting until it formed this huge mass? I believe that we may never know how the universe came about, rather have some idea as to what came directly before it’s current state as well as before that and so on. We could come up with ideas until we die, and someone would just continue in our footsteps. I do have one idea as to ...

- ... completely new shades such as blue or green. Now that day and age has come when all different shades of blue can be seen painted on teens' nails.

This latest trend of “ blues” not only broke the barrier of “reds only”, but broke the limits of society each girl felt she ... give back similar responses such as: “It looks cool”; “If I wore red I would just feel like another ordinary person, but if people see your blue nail polish, they do a double-take”; “It's a little new, something different”. Unfortunately, many youths have been raised in a society where they have been conditioned to fear doing anything that will have them come across as a freak to others. In today's society, nail polish is one of the few things that come between the limits of someone who may be considered a “dull dresser” or a “freak-show”. It is understandable why the more all- ...

- 12307: Thomas Jefferson
- Thomas Jefferson ******************* I really didn't have any problems finding information about Thomas Jefferson. On the Internet, I just did a search for Thomas Jefferson, and I got all kinds of information, from the Thomas Jefferson University to his autobiography. If I was the teacher, I would have allowed the students to print off of the web pages. It isn't illegal, and it would make it much easier and more efficient to hit command-p and hit return than copy down 5 pages of information longhand and not be able to write legibly for the rest of the day because of a numb hand. I also would have given a little more time than a week. All of the information I have came from the Internet. I didn't use one book to find information. I think that it is much smarter to try to find information electronically than it is to go to a library, do a search, hope they have it ...
