Eugenics At The Rim Coming from an area of the world that leads the way in Cochlear Implantation. You won't find many who support deliberately disabling a child for 'cultural' reasons, it's on par with genital mutilation and such which are equally abominable. I want my child deaf because I am? Selfish. Of course, the factual, omission of CHOICE is reprehensible in this... Mon, Oct 15 2018 · 12 hours ago 8 tools to reduce the stigma of hearing loss.

At The Rim Discussion on the UK's AOHL site regarding concerns many charities are signing non-critical clauses of state welfare decisions and Ministers, [The 'gagging clause], allegedly to avoid the state cutting their funding, blackmail.

Technically the UK state encourages all BUT those with hearing loss to use pharmacists as a consultation area for 'low level' health issues like colds etc, and issues of using tablets and medications that may clash.

At The Rim When Silvana Kasi was 12 and an up-and-coming ballet dancer, she used to engage in a unique ritual before she danced.

Trouble is, she couldn’t hear it. Once she was actually danc... Fri, Oct 12 2018 Charity News. Quit the teasing? At The Rim Sometimes we have to despair at charitable attempts to lobby on our behalf. This week the UK's largest hearing loss charity did yet another campaign about deaf (Not HoH?), people being teased and mocked in the workplace and elsewhere, which I am, sure is non-news to 99% of us who are at the cutting face of it all. UK charity's reluctance to actually take em... Fri, Oct 12 2018 Smart TV listening. At The Rim The AV200 uses hearing aid technology to make voices crystal-clear, even at low volumes.

At The Rim I’d appreciate what awareness the deaf community would be sharing as it is not about inclusion or equality for us all but a singular sign and cultural approach and aim.

At The Rim A LONG time ago, I lost all my hearing on my right side. This causes me fewer problems than you might imagine but, whenever I meet new people, I have to ask them to stay on my left side because I’m deaf in one ear.

At The Rim More misguided/misleading propaganda from the signing community, this time from the middle east.

At The Rim Of course what you never had you never miss, but the relentless airing of 'I would stay deaf regardless' is not based on choice. A real choice would be to have hearing then compare.
