Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common and one of the main types of hearing loss.
It is also known as "nerve deafness".
Unlike the other main type of hearing loss - conductive hearing loss - sensorineural hearing loss is permanent.
Not only does sensorineural hearing loss cause noise to sound quieter but also makes sound less clear.
This makes listening when there is a lot of noise harder and also makes hearing other people talk harder.
There are two parts of the ear that can be damaged to cause sensorineural hearing loss, either the cochlea or the hearing nerve.
They do not both have to be damaged to cause hearing loss and can be caused by a number of different things.
Age related - the cochlea and hearing nerve of older people is more likely to be damaged than younger people, causing hearing loss
Noise related - listening to loud music or being in a place with very loud noise for a long time can damage your hearing
Disease - there are a few diseases and medications that can also cause hearing loss as a side-effect
Unlike conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss is permanent.
There may be ways to cure it but these are very limited.
There are however ways to treat it and make it better.
Using hearing aids is the most popular way to treat this hearing loss.
Hearing aids are not just able to make sound louder, which does not always help (because louder sound does not mean clearer sound) but can also reduce sounds that are not needed to hear other people talk while making speech louder.
This is very helpful in making speech easier to understand.

Helen Prejean (born April 21, 1939 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana) is a Roman Catholic nun.
She is a member of the Congregation of St. Joseph.
She is a well-known activist against the death penalty in the United States.
Helen Prejean was born to Augusta Mae (née Bourg; 1911–1993), a nurse, and Louis Sebastian Prejean (1893–1974), a lawyer.
She joined the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Medaille in 1957.
In 1962, she received a Bachelor of Arts in English and Education from St. Mary’s Dominican College in New Orleans, Louisiana.
In 1973, she earned a Master of Arts in religious education from Saint Paul University in Ottawa, Canada.
The Religious Education Director at St. Frances Cabrini Parish in New Orleans
The Formation Director for her religious community
A junior high school and senior high school teacher.
Death row ministry
Prejean began to work with prisoners on death row in 1981, in New Orleans, Louisiana.
In 1982, a friend asked her to write to Elmo Patrick Sonnier, who was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death by electrocution.
He was in prison in the Louisiana State Penitentiary.
Prejean visited Sonnier in prison and agreed to be his spiritual adviser in the months leading up to his execution.
Doing this made Prejean more aware of the process involved in executions.
She began speaking out against the death penalty.
At the same time, she also founded Survive, an organization that counseled the families of victims of violence.
Since 1982, Prejean has ministered to many other inmates on death row, and has witnessed several more executions.
She served as National Chairperson of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty from 1993 to 1995.
Prejean wrote a book called Dead Man Walking about her relationship with Sonnier and other inmates on death row.
The book was made into a feature film, an opera, and a play.
In the film, Susan Sarandon played Prejean, and won an Academy Award for Best Actress.
Campaigns, book, and awards
In 1999, Prejean formed Moratorium 2000, a petition drive that eventually grew into a national education campaign, The Moratorium Campaign.
The organization Witness to Innocence, a group  of death row survivors who were convicted for crimes they did not commit, started under The Moratorium Campaign.
Prejean published her second book, The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions, in December 2004.
In this book, she tells the story of two men, Dobie Gillis Williams and Joseph O'Dell, whom she accompanied to their executions.
She believes that both men were innocent.
The book also examines the recent history of death penalty decisions by the Supreme Court of the United States and looks at the track record of George W. Bush as Governor of Texas.
In 1998, Prejean was given the Pacem in Terris Award.
This award was named after a 1963 encyclical letter by Pope John XXIII that calls on all people of good will to make peace among all countries.
Pacem in terris is Latin for "Peace on Earth."
Prejean now bases her work at the Death Penalty Discourse Network in New Orleans, and spends her time giving talks across the United States and around the world.
She and her sister, Mary Ann Antrobus, have been deeply involved at a center in Nicaragua called Friends of Batahola.
2013: Robert M. Holstein 'Faith Doing Justice' Award from the Ignatian Solidarity Network
1998: World Pacem in Terris Award

Noise induced hearing loss (NHL) is hearing loss caused by sounds that are too loud (high decibel level) and damage hearing cells in the ear.
This can make noises sound quieter as well as make noise less clear, it can also cause other hearing related symptoms such as tinnitus.
NHL is permanent and cannot usually be restored.
Most of the time, NHL happens after being around a lot of noise for long periods of time.
Listening to loud music, city traffic or even things like a hair dryer for can damage hearing after a while.
But NHL can also happen suddenly when close to an extremely loud sound.
This can come from things like being close to an airplane or a gunshot.
Signs of NHL
Hearing is a very important sense.
It can be hard to notice hearing loss, especially if it happens over time instead of suddenly.
Even if it is hard for a person experiencing it to notice, it will still have a large effect on their life.
Not being able to hear a conversation when there is a lot of noise around is usually a good sign of hearing loss.
Other people may sound like they are speaking softly or their speech may not be clear.
Both of these can be signs of NHL.
Similarly, having to ask people to repeat themselves and having to try very hard to hear people speak are also signs.
Preventing NHL
Lowering the volume of sound is a good way to start.
Even though controlling the level of sound heard is not always possible, when listening to music or watching movies it can be done and will keep hearing from being damaged.
If controlling the level of sound is not possible then avoiding being around loud sound for a long time will help too.
This is because the level of sound is not the only thing that is important for hearing loss, how long this loud sound is present is important as well.
If none of the above methods to prevent hearing loss are possible, then using earplugs or earmuffs is a must.
This will reduce the sound that is able to reach and cause damage to the ears.
This is useful for people who work in places that are loud such as a  construction site.
The most common thing to do is use hearing aids.
Hearing aids can help with hearing loss by making sound louder and speech clearer.
They can also be customised by audiologists to suit almost any lifestyle and to suit the specific needs of different people.
North Jeolla Province or Jeollabuk-do (전라북도; 全羅北道; Jeollabuk-do) is a province in the southwest of South Korea.
The province was formed in 1896 from the north of Jeolla Province.
Its provincial capital is Jeonju.
During the Three Kingdoms of Korea period, the province was the center of Mahan, and Mahan became part of Baekje, one of the three Kingdoms.
In the Unified Silla period, the towns of Wansan-ju (now Jeonju) and Namwon-gyeong (now Namwon) were started in the province.
When King Seongjong of Goryeo divided the whole country into 10 dos, Jeolla-do was called Gangnam-do.
Later, in the Joseon Dynasty, it was finally called Jeolla-do.

The community was part of the Cashtown-McKnightstown CDP, until it was split into two separate CDPs for the 2010 census.
As of 2010, the population of Cashtown was 459.
During the American Civil War, Cashtown was occupied by the Confederate States Army twice.
Once in October 1862 when Confederate cavalry led by General J.E.B. Stuart occupied the town briefly.
On June 28, 1863, General Robert E. Lee had invaded Pennsylvania a second time and was on his way to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the state capital.
When he received word that the Union Army of the Potomac was coming, he ordered his divisions to assemble at Cashtown.
On June 30 Confederate General Henry Heth had his divisions at Cashtown and sent a division to nearby Gettysburg to forage for supplies.
Without any reconnaissance to see what was ahead of them, the Confederates blundered into a Union cavalry commanded by General John Buford.
This started the Battle of Gettysburg.
Cashtown is  northwest of Gettysburg in western Adams County.
U.S. Route 30 bypasses the center of the community.
It forms the northern edge of the CDP.
Old U.S. 30, the original Lincoln Highway, is the main street of Cashtown.

Camp Curtin was a military training camp in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, during the American Civil War.
It was the largest Union Army training camp during the war.
There was also a supply depot, hospital and prisoner-of-war camp.
The news of the attack on Fort Sumter reached Washington, D.C. on April 14, 1861.
President Abraham Lincoln called for 75,000 militiamen to serve for 90 days.
These men were needed to put down the rebellion of the Southern states.
In meetings across the North people cheered the flag and called those who seceded "traitors"!
Across the North, eager volunteers responded to calls from local governmental officials to join newly raised state regiments.
Governor Andrew Curtin of Pennsylvania issued a proclamation asking for 13,000 able-bodied Pennsylvania men to volunteer to help preserve the Union.
Within three days, thousands of men had come to Harrisburg to enlist.
But they had no place to organize or drill.
Governor Curtin decided to use the County Agricultural Society in Harrisburg.
Major Joseph F. Knipe officially opened the camp on April 18, 1861, and named it Camp Curtin in honor of the governor (the planned name had been Camp Union).
By the end of April, it had sent 25 regiments into the field.
From December 1861 to March 1862, the camp was commanded by Major Truman Seymour.
In June and July of 1863, General Robert E. Lee invaded Pennsylvania for a second time.
His target was Harrisburg and Camp Curtin.
However, before he could get there, an accidental meeting between Confederate and Union troops started the Battle of Gettysburg.
After the battle Lee's army retreated back to Virginia.
The camp
Over 300,000 soldiers passed through Camp Curtin, making it the largest army training camp during the Civil War.
Harrisburg's location on major railroad lines running east and west, and north and south.
This made it a very good location for moving men and supplies to the armies in the field.
In addition to the Regular Army and Pennsylvania regiments, troops from Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Wisconsin used Camp Curtin.
The camp and surrounding area also saw service as a supply depot.
There was a hospital as well as a Confederate prisoner-of-war camp.
At the end of the war, Camp Curtin was used as a mustering-out point for thousands of troops on their way home.
It was officially closed on November 11, 1865.

Corps badges in the American Civil War were originally worn by soldiers of the Union Army on the top of their army forage cap, left side of the hat, or over their left chest pocket.
The idea was suggested by Major Geneneral Philip Kearny.
During a battle he reprimanded officers that turned out to not be under his command.
To prevent that from happening again, he ordered the men in his division to sew a  square of red cloth on their hats.
This idea was adopted by Major General Joseph Hooker after he assumed command of the Army of the Potomac.
This was so any soldier could be identified at a distance.
Corps badges
Gen. Daniel Butterfield, Hooker's chief of staff, was assigned the task of designing a distinctive shape for each corps badge.
Butterfield also decided that each division in the corps should have a variation of the corps badge in a different color.
Division badges were colored as follows:
Red — First division of corps
White — Second division of corps
Blue — Third division of corps
These were used in the United States' Army of the Potomac.
These rules were adopted by other Union Armies, however it was not universal.
For example, the XIII Corps never adopted a badge.
Also, the XIX Corps had the first division wear a red badge, the second division wear a blue badge, and the third division wear white.
Green — Fourth division of VI, IX, and XX Corps
Yellow — Fourth division of XV Corps (reportedly Orange was also used for a 5th Division Badge)
Multicolor — Headquarters or artillery elements (certain corps)
The badges for enlisted men were cut from colored cloth.
Officer's badges were privately made and of a higher quality.
The badges eventually became part of the Army regulations and a great source of regimental pride.

The Immigration Act of 1917 (also called the Literacy Act and the Asiatic Barred Zone Act) was a United States law to stop certain types of people from moving to the US to live.
It was the first law to try and restrict immigration, rather than try to control it.
People wanting to immigrate had to pass literacy tests.
The law also created new categories of people who would not be allowed to immigrate.
People from much of Asia were prevented from immigrating.
The Immigration Act of 1924 made more restrictions.
The laws stayed in place until changed by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (the McCarran–Walter Act).

A hearing test is a check for a person's sense of hearing to measure what kind of sounds they can hear and if they have any hearing loss.
There are many types of hearing tests used to understand different things about a person's hearing.
Hearing tests are also different for adults and children as well.
It is mainly audiologists that do hearing tests and they will know what kind of hearing test a patient needs.
Types of hearing tests
Pure Tone Audiometry - the most common type of hearing test.
A patient will listen to different sounds which are called pure tones.
These sounds will be in different frequencies and softest sounds that can be heard are recorded.
The two types of pure tone audiometry are air and bone conduction.
If the results from these tests are different, this means that there is a problem with the outer and middle ear.
Air Conduction - a type of tone test that uses earphones placed inside the ear
Bone Conduction - a type of tone  test that uses a small vibrator placed behind the ear that sends sound through the skull into the inner ear
Speech Recognition Test - used to measure how much a person can understand speech which it is at a normal noise level by making them repeat words that are heard.
This tests how clear sound is
Hearing In Noise Test - similar to the speech recognition test, it is done by making the patient repeat words they hear.
This will happen both in a quiet space as well as a noisy space and sound will come from different directions
Tympanogram - a small instrument is placed inside the ear and air is pumped in to change the air pressure.
This test will show if there is a problem with the middle ear or ear drum
Acoustic Reflex Measures - test to find where the hearing problem is.
The middle ear has a muscle that moves when there is loud sound.
Measuring how loud sounds are before it stops moving can give information on where the hearing problem is in the ear.
Static Acoustic Impedance - measures how much air is inside the ear canal.
Can tell if ear drum has a hole in it
Auditory Brainstem Response - tests the inner ear and brain.
Electrodes are used to measure brain activity when sound is present.
Role of an audiologist
The role of an audiologist is to diagnose and treat hearing problems, minimising the impact these problems have on the lives of their patients.
Audiologists will provide help that is customised to each patient to help them be able to communicate with the world around them.
In order to treat hearing problems, they must first be identified.
Audiologists do tests and hearing checks on patients to measure and understand the type of help they will need.
With the information they gain from these tests, audiologists can advise patients about their hearing health and recommend any treatment that they might need.
If treatment such as hearing aids are needed for a patient, the audiologist will be able to help make the solution the best suited to the patient by customising the treatment depending on what the patient needs.
This includes helping to find a suitable hearing aid, fitting it and programming it and maintaining it.
This applies to other recommended treatment as well.
Although treatment and help to lessen the effects of hearing problems are a main focus of an audiologist, they also have the role of educating and teaching patients as well as the public.
How to prevent hearing loss as well as how to protect hearing are usually the main focus of what an audiologist teaches and may be done through presentations in schools, in workplaces and to the community.
It is important for audiologists to educate the public about hearing loss and how important hearing health is as well as how audiologists are able to help.
Audiologists treat all ages and types of hearing loss.
The hearing services of an audiologist are used in many different settings but most work in health care.
In health care, they are focused on the main role of an audiologist which is providing hearing health care services including testing for hearing loss and recommending treatment.
Many audiologists can be found working with patients in hospitals, medical centers, private practices and in nursing homes.
Another workplace for audiologists is in education, which is another important role that they perform.
They may be working in schools, in universities or even day care centers in order to educate students about hearing loss and prevention.
These professionals understand the effect that hearing loss can have on a student's learning and can work with schools to recommend strategies to help build a more supportive environment for students.
While they may be more focused on education, these audiologists are still also able to do hearing tests and checks on students and help them find the best solutions for their hearing problems.

Black Lives Matter (BLM) is an international activist group.
They originated in the African-American community.
They are against violence and systemic racism by white police officers towards black people.
The movement began in 2013 with the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter on social media.
It started after the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin.
It became famous for street demonstrations following the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.
The former sparked riots and unrest in Ferguson, Missouri.
The latter led to protests all over the United States.
In 2020, during the George Floyd Protests, Black Lives Matter became much more widely accepted.
Black Lives Matter filed a lawsuit against the police department of Seattle, Washington for violence against protesters.
"It's now something where the Mitt Romneys of the world can join in, and that was something unimaginable back in 2014," said Justin Hansford, executive director of Howard University's Thurgood Marshall Civil Rights Center. "
That is the result of six years of hard work by people who are in the movement and have put forward so many discussions that really changed people’s hearts and minds."
Hansford was also an activist in Ferguson.
The movement has also been criticized.
In the New York Times, Deroy Murdock asked about the true number of black people killed by police, and about the way the BLM movement reported these killings.
He wrote: "But the notion that America’s cops simply are gunning down innocent black people is one of today's biggest and deadliest lies".
Some of the black leaders of the American civil rights movement criticized the tactics of the BLM movement.
Glenn Loury, a professor for economics, warned about focusing on police violence against black people; the other side would only use this to compile statistics; in these statistics black people will be overrepresented.
According to Loury, it would be better to reform social structures, so that people could benefit, irrespective of skin color.
One of the examples he gave was early-age education.
Rabi crops are grown in the winter and harvested in the spring in the South Asia.
The word means spring in the Arabic language.
It is also called rabi harvest and spring harvest (also known as winter crop).
The rabi crops are sown around mid-November, after the monsoon rains are over, and harvesting begins in April/May.
The crops are grown either with rainwater that has percolated into the ground, or with irrigation.
A good rain in winter spoils the rabi crop but is good for kharif crops.
Normally wheat barley, mustard, sesame and peas are grown in india.
Peas are harvested early, as they are ready early: Indian markets are flooded with green peas from January to March, peaking in February.

The presidency of Abraham Lincoln began when he took office as the 16th President of the United States on March 4, 1861.
It ended with his death on April 15, 1865.
During his presidency he claimed more prerogatives than any other president had done before him.
As a result, the small and relatively limited powers of the president grew enormously during his time in office.
When Lincoln won the 1860 presidential election, he did it without the support of any of the Southern states.
Since the 1830s, Southern states had talked about secession, but it became a serious issue in 1860.
Between the election and Lincoln's Inauguration in March of 1861, seven states had seceded from the Union.
They formed the Confederate States of America (CSA).
When Confederates attacked Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861 and captured it the next day, this started the American Civil War.
While having little previous military experience, Lincoln still managed to stand out as a great war president.
In 1863, his Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves in Southern states.
It led directly to the abolition of slavery in the United States.
Given later that year, his Gettysburg Address is and remains one of the most important speeches in American history.
In 1865, as the Civil war was ending he was shot and killed by John Wilkes Booth, a Confederate sympathizer.
His death made Lincoln a martyr to the Union cause.
He is widely recognized as one of the greatest presidents in U.S. history.
Lincoln's 1860 presidential campaign
By this time Lincoln was well-known in Illinois politics.
In 1858 he had debated Stephen A. Douglas in a bid for the United States Senate and lost.
At the time, U.S. senators were elected by their state legislatures.
So both Lincoln and Douglas were trying for their respective parties to win control of the Illinois legislature.
Although Illinois was a free state, the main issue of all seven debates was slavery.
Lincoln spent the next 16 months making speeches for a number of Republican candidates in the North.
This both made him many political friends and also was in preparation for his run for President.
Up to this time the strongest candidate was William H. Seward of New York.
Seward was strongly opposed to slavery anywhere in the U.S. Lincoln took a more moderate view and was opposed to the spread of slavery in new states to the West.
As Lincoln became more popular in the newly-formed Republican Party he was invited to give speeches in a number of states.
In October of 1859, he was invited to speak at Henry Ward Beecher's church in Brooklyn, New York.
Lincoln spent months preparing for this speech; more time than he had spent on any speech he had given during the senatorial debates.
At the last minute, the site for his speech was moved to the Cooper Union in Manhattan.
Lincoln knew why he had been asked to give the address.
He was being promoted as an alternative to Seward and other possible Republican candidates.
The Cooper Union address got Lincoln the attention he needed to become the Republican candidate for president in 1860.
In April 1860, the Democrats held their political convention, the Southern Democrats walked out and the convention closed without nominating a candidate.
The two sides each held their own conventions two months later.
Stephen Douglas was the candidate of the Northern Democrats.
John C. Breckinridge ran for the Southern Democrats.
John Bell, the Senator from Tennessee, ran for the Constitutional Union Party.
The split in the Democratic party almost guaranteed Lincoln could win the presidency.
At the beginning of 1860, Lincoln was not a major candidate for President.
On November6, 1860, with 39% of the popular vote and a majority in the Electoral College, Lincoln was elected President.
Voter turnout for the election was 81.2%, the second highest in American history.
Secession crisis of 1860–1861
In November of 1860, with Lincoln the apparent winner, a crisis that had been smoldering for at least a decade erupted.
Southerners were outraged by the election of Lincoln, who opposed slavery in territories and new states.
They began to act almost immediately.
James Chesnut, Jr., Senator from South Carolina, resigned just four days after the election.
President James Buchanan only made things worse.
In December, he wrote a message to Congress.
In it he stated he thought secession was illegal.
But he added that the federal government could not act to stop any states from leaving the Union.
Northerners could not understand how Buchanan could say such a thing.
After that, Buchanan's cabinet began falling apart.
Howell Cobb, the Secretary of the Treasury who was from Georgia, told Buchanan he quit.
A week later, Lewis Cass, the Secretary of State (from Michigan) left because Buchanan had done nothing to stop the secession crisis.
South Carolina was the first to take action.
Leaders there had warned that if a Republican won the 1868 election, they would leave the Union.
On December 20, 1860 in a special convention, they passed a unanimous resolution to secede.
In January of 1861 they were followed by Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana.
Texas seceded on February 1.
While resolutions for secession were prepared in other states, no more were passed during this period.
While Buchanan did nothing, several senators made speeches in Congress trying to calm things down.
The Peace Conference of 1861 was held at the Willard Hotel in Washington on February 4, 1861.
Of the 33 states, 21 sent delegates.
Former President John Tyler, a native of Virginia, was elected the presiding officer.
The convention lasted for about two weeks.
During that time a number of proposals were created that were then delivered to Congress.
A number of compromises were worked out that would take the form of proposed amendments to the United States Constitution.
But none were passed by Congress.
At Lincoln's inauguration, he rode in a carriage beside the outgoing president.
Buchanan is quoted as saying to Lincoln, "If you are as happy entering the presidency as I am leaving it, then you are a very happy man."
Within weeks, four more slave states seceded and the Confederates fired on Fort Sumter.
Lincoln's 1st inaugural address
On March 4, 1861, Lincoln gave his first inaugural address as part of his being sworn in as 16th President of the United States.
The speech was primarily addressed to the people of the South.
It was intended to lay out Lincoln's intended policies and desires toward the South where seven states had formed the Confederate States of America.
His speech was written in a spirit of friendship toward the seceded states.
He touched on several points.
Lincoln promised not to interfere with slavery in the states where it already existed.
He said there would be no Federal hostility towards the states that had seceded for the time being.
The Federal Government would “hold, occupy, and possess” its property.
It would also collect its taxes.
He closed his speech with the warning:
Lincoln administration
Lincoln's presidency lasted for about four years.
It ran from March 4, 1861 until he was shot by a Confederate sympathizer and died on April 15, 1865.
Nearly all of his time in office was consumed by the Civil War.
From his election by the Electoral College on February 15 to his inauguration on March 4, Lincoln had little time to assemble a cabinet.
Lincoln's cabinet
Lincoln's cabinet was unique in American history.
It included all of his major rivals for the 1860 Republican nomination.
As part of the political negotiations leading up to the nomination, some had been promised a position in the cabinet.
It was not a harmonious group as most of them did not like each other.
They had different ideas about governing the country, different ethics and different personalities.
