1)In one case study, a boy had profound hearing loss (deafness) in his right ear.

 His deafness was only discovered when he was 5 years old - when he was a newborn baby, he had passed a deafness screening test as normal. The newborn screening test checks whether the baby's cochlea is functioning normally. However, his deafness was due to the absence of his right auditory nerve. Could he benefit from either a hearing aid or a cochlear implant? Which, why or why not? Lastly - remembering that this is a case study - what types of conclusions can we draw from this case study, and what types of conclusions should we not make?
