Explain a range of causes of disorders by investigating the structures and functions of the relevant organs, for example:

• hearing loss

Investigate technologies that are used to assist with the effects of a disorder, including but not limited to: (ACSBL100)

• hearing loss: cochlear implants, bone conduction implants, hearing aids
