vifaa saidizi vya kusikia vilivyosetiwa tayari maneno muhimu

App – Short for application. A digital tool used on a smartphone or tablet to do a specific task.

Audiogram – A graph of a person’s hearing showing the quietest sound a person can hear (hearing threshold) at different frequencies of sound.

A graph of a person’s hearing test thresholds. Right ear (marked by red circles) and left ear (marked by blue crosses). The vertical axis shows sound level in decibels (dB) from 0 dB at the top down to the loudest level at 140 dB. Frequencies are on the horizontal axis from 125 Hz to 8000 Hz from left to right.

Kipima sauti - Kifaa cha kupima kusikia kinachotumika kupima uwezo wa kusikia.

Kifaa cha kupima uwezo wa kusikia kilicho na namba za kupiga, vitufe na spika za masikioni zilizounganishwa pamoja. Spika ya masikioni yenye rangi nyekundu kwa ajili sikio la kulia na spika za masikioni ya bluu kwa ajili ya sikio la kushoto.

Mashine ya kupima sauti

Kipima sauti cha kwenye kishikwambi kilicho na spika za masikioni zilizoambatishwa. Spika moja ya upande wa kulia ina rangi nyekundu, na nyingine iliyo katika sikio la upande wa kushoto ina rangi ya bluu. Kuna kitufe cha majibu kilichochomekwa upande wa kishikwambi.

Programu ya kipima sauti kwenye kishikwambi

Programu ya kipima sauti zilzounganishwa na simu janja kwa kutumia spika za masikioni . Spika za masikioni ni nyekundu kwa sikio la kulia, ni bluu kwa sikio la upande wa kushoto.

Programu ya kipima sauti iliyoko kwenye simu janja

Audiometry (kipimo cha kusikia) - Mtihani wa jinsi mtu anaweza kusikia vizuri. Ikiwa kuna kupoteza kusikia, matokeo yanaonyesha kiwango cha kupoteza.

Average hearing threshold – A calculation adding threshold values of 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz, and 4000 Hz then dividing by four.

Mtaalamu wa masikio na kusikia - Wataalamu wanaopima, kudhibiti na kutibu matatizo ya sikio na kusikia.

Maoni (mluzi) - Sauti ya "filimbi" inayotolewa na kifaa saidizi cha kusikia wakati sauti inatoka sikioni na inachukuliwa na kipaza sauti cha kifaa saidizi cha kusikia.

Frequency – How many times a sound wave moves up and down in one second. There are different types of sound including deeper sounds (low frequency) such as a drum and sharper sounds (high frequency) such as a whistle. Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz).

Taabu katika kusikia - Neno linalotumiwa kumwelezea mtu aliyepoteza uwezo wa kusikia kwa kiwango kidogo hadi kiwango kikubwa, mtu ambaye hawezi kusikia vizuri kama mtu mwenye uwezo wa kusikia wa kawaida.

Hearing threshold – Quietest sound that the person can hear at different frequencies of sound.

Hertz (Hz) – A way to measure how often something happens in one second. For example, if a sound wave vibrates 100 times in one second, it has a frequency of 100 Hz.

Ling sounds – A set of six sounds. These cover the full range of speech sounds across low to high frequencies.

Six Ling sounds with picture connection to the sound. The six Ling sounds are “ah” for an airplane, “oo” for a ghost, “eee” for a mouse, “sh” for a person sleeping, “ssss” for a snake, and “mmm” for an ice cream.

Kisikio cha kawaida - Kisikio kilichotengenezwa tayari kilichotengenezwa kwa ukubwa tofauti ili kutoshea ndani ya sikio la mtu. Inaunganishwa na vifaa saidizi vya kusikia kupitia bomba na kutoa sauti kwenye sikio la mtu.

Three different sizes of standard earmould: small, medium and large.

Stetoclip (mrija wa kusikiliza) - Pia inajulikana kama mirija ya kusikiliza, inaruhusu mtu mwenye usikivu wa kawaida kufuatilia ikiwa kifaa saidizi cha kusikia kinafanya kazi vizuri.

Mhudumu wa afya ameshikilia kifaa saidizi cha kusikia mkononi akiwa umbali wa sentimeta 30 kutoka kwa uso wao. Imeshikamana na vifaa saidizi vya kusikia ni stetoclip yenye kamba ndefu iliyounganishwa na vipande viwili vya sikio. Mhudumu wa afya anazungumza kwenye kifaa saidizi cha kusikia na vipande vya sikio vya stetoclip huwekwa kwenye masikio yao.
