To determine how much of the maximum six years (600%) of Pell Grant the student uses each year, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) compares the actual amount awarded for the award year with the scheduled award amount for that award year. A student who uses 100% receives the full award.
Hearing loss is not routinely assessed after stroke. Furthermore, because of other severe symptoms patient may not be aware of their hearing loss at the time of stroke. Consequently, hearing loss can remain undetected yet may have important implications for rehabilitation.
Cochlear function is not usually affected. In cases with hearing loss, 85% show sensorineural bilateral high frequency loss. The hearing loss is sometimes unilateral and occasionally it is sudden. One clinician reported that up to 40% of MS patients with normal audiograms report difficulty hearing in background noise.
