Intermission At The Rim ATR is not blogging for the duration and until the coronavirus issue abates somewhat. We don't believe relentless coverage of the issue does much except add to other people's anxiety and stress. I would ask readers to rather post issues that are positive and encouraging instead. We need humour, we need kindness and we need to ditch the selfish. I really do not wa... Fri, Mar 27 2020 Language Service Provision: Update At The Rim Language Service Providers Respond to Coronavirus Lockdowns. As governments around the world step up attempts to contain the coronavirus, the language industry, grappling with the fallout from the pandemic, has been striving to react with a measured response.

At The Rim Might be handy if you are self-isolating.SOURCE Tue, Mar 17 2020 Introduction to lip-speaking. At The Rim Introduction-to-Lipspeaking from Frances Harris on Vimeo. Tue, Mar 17 2020 Hearing loss research trials delayed by Virus. At The Rim The French company Sensorion has been forced to delay a phase II trial in people with hearing loss due to slow patient recruitment amid the current coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic. The clinical trial is designed to test Sensorion’s lead candidate drug in people with sudden sensorineural hearing loss, a rare disorder where the patient can go deaf within ... Tue, Mar 17 2020 UK BSL Program to offer Coronavirus advice live. At The Rim After numerous concerns on deaf social media (Mostly unfounded), that the government was not making coronavirus advice accessible to the deaf, today will see their BSL Zone program offer a live question and answer session for the first time, so at least one of the BSL areas is doing what it gets funds to do anyway! On a number of deaf social media sites complaints ... Tue, Mar 17 2020 Tips for the deaf (Coronavirus). At The Rim Do NOT take any notice of advice UNLESS it comes from a validated source, i.e. the government, or the health services. Also deaf need to take care as scammers are visiting elderly offering to do their shopping for them, then disappearing with the money! Coronavirus (COVID-19) Stay at home advice. COVID-19 is a new illness that can affect your lungs and airway... Sun, Mar 15 2020 Coronavirus Update (UK): No support in sight. At The Rim Because of the current outbreak, there are serious issues arising regarding how the UK NHS health system can accommodate 10m with hearing loss issues. ATR is receiving reports hospitals, clinics and surgeries are not offering support to this sector. An area that relies on lip-reading was told there is no support available, in fact, there was no system extant at al... Sat, Mar 14 2020 Assistance dogs (UK) an announcement. At The Rim Assistance dogs for the deaf organisation are sending out letters to dog owners urging them to join a central register of valid assistance dogs and owners. [At least they should be doing that]. They should be doing this in response to numerous concerns some dog owners are abusing the concessions a service dog provides to its owner, by purchasing online authentic-... Fri, Mar 13 2020 Dear ATR At The Rim Today ATR includes a long missive sent via a Facebook PM to him, and leaves the reader to form own view.@ATR: I read with great interest recent coverage of the deaf approaches to the arts and more recently, in the way they see the inclusion of deaf people. It's a perennial issue and one I don't think in the long run will benefit the BSL user, being as it is based on... Fri, Mar 13 2020 Casting Call.. At The Rim #1 Aren't 'BSL only' advertisements discrimination against deaf that don't sign? and a violation of commercial job advertising? They can say deaf they cannot demand BSL only. #2 It looks like they're focusing on making a film in sign language, not just "a film with deaf people". Just a different opportunity. (Like, if they wanted Chinese people who could speak C... Thu, Mar 12 2020 Language deprivation. At The Rim You can appreciate speech acquisition is difficult but the sign is a red line, isn't it? It's an all-encompassing modus that mostly goes against the host country norms via grammar and usage. This creates a parallel deaf world attempting to carry on doing own thing at disadvantage, whilst their own set up has no system to accommodate that, it also limits choices FOR... Tue, Mar 10 2020 HEAR - SEE - SPEAK At The Rim It is all based on a very simple truism, hearing people are scared of silence. Their first response is fear or terror at prolonged silence, yet, they assume it doesn't bother us. Tue, Mar 10 2020 Hearing Regained. At The Rim Regaining my hearing after a decade of deafness gave me imposter syndrome. Sophie regained her hearing at 39. I started losing my hearing from the age of 18. I did not expect to go deaf, even though it runs in the family. Bits of my hearing identity kept falling off as I lost another frequency. I was in denial for years until I began using interpreters and stenograph... Sun, Mar 08 2020 Deaf V CI's. At The Rim This is a misleading blog. Parents do not assume a CI is any cure. Activism pursues this point because they oppose implantation. It is obvious when a CI is implanted in many cases the defunct hearing part is removed for it. We should listen to people that HAVE a CI, not those who don't and swallow any amount of fake news from deaf opponents of cochlear implant... Sat, Mar 07 2020 Why is deaf english so poor? At The Rim Why did the captions disappear 2 minutes into the vlog? Deaf couldn't read them?! Could explain why their English is so poor. Sat, Mar 07 2020 Jobs and the Deaf At The Rim Why would hearing employers need to recognise deaf culture in employment? As I understand work you apply for a job you can do and communication issues are addressed prior to application, you don't go for a job and insist they need to be deaf aware, culturally aware, have to have a degree in deaf studies, and be signing as well, this has never been my experience. ... Sat, Mar 07 2020 Global Sign At The Rim We are unsure where they get these facts from? Text has been the online leveller and in English mostly, not sign, because sign is localised to individual countries so does not 'travel' well. Uni sign is hardly understood by deaf people anywhere, it never caught on. The glaring fact they needed an interpreter to interpret the interpreter(!) seems ample proof this is... Wed, Mar 04 2020 The battle against the invisible. At The Rim In a world filled with sound – of the wind, the babbling brook, and rain for instance – those who suffer from severe hearing loss can sometimes feel they are living on a desert island, cut off from the sweet sounds of birdsong, or laughter. Masterton’s Pam Rangitaawa has been a hearing loss patient for more than 50 years. “I wasn’t born with a hearing im... Mon, Mar 02 2020 Trans case: I wasn't dissuaded enough. At The Rim A case in the UK where an individual who demanded a gender re-assignment is now suing the clinic who gave them what they wanted, suggesting as a teen they were never encouraged to listen to counselling and gave her puberty-blocking drugs which has ruined their life. It is said assessments are being rights-driven not clinically diagnosed. So should NOT have been... Mon, Mar 02 2020 Better late than never? At The Rim It would appear only now have some deaf realised their care options are dwindling and under the cosh with one deaf blog complaining the AOHL is dumping the deaf care. Although ATR published the CEO view some weeks ago. It was on the cards last year, deaf care was/is costing them too much, and basically, the deaf are not even members of AOHL it's a puzzle they are... Fri, Feb 28 2020 First Deaf Seanad nominee (Ireland). At The Rim Dr. John Bosco Conama, a lifelong Deaf rights activist, Academic and leading light in the Deaf community, made history last week after he was nominated to the Seanad by both the Irish Deaf Society (the National Association of the Deaf) and Chime (the National Charity for Deafness and Hearing Loss). He has Cavan links too, with Dr. John Bosco's sister Eileen Gorml... Fri, Feb 28 2020 World Hearing Day At The Rim March 3 is World Hearing Day, an initiative by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to raise awareness to prevent deafness and hearing loss and promote ear and hearing care across the world. The motto this year is “Don’t let hearing loss limit you”, focusing on how people with hearing impairments can achieve their full potential. This is a vital message: Accor... Fri, Feb 28 2020 Communication tips for the lip-reading deaf. At The Rim I wonder how many signing deaf attend health areas without a BSL communicator? or, if they lip-read, ask for a lip-speaker? It's not entirely clear these tips are effective. ATR never attends any area without ensuring communication is going to work, do not all deaf plan well ahead? We usually contact the area first and if no assistance is there then ensure a text... Thu, Feb 27 2020 A new Deaf Hope.. At The Rim Hopes and dreams for our deaf child from Kim Schafer on Vimeo. Wed, Feb 26 2020 Aled is deaf At The Rim Which is a blessing in disguise given the captions and he cannot read. Wed, Feb 26 2020 Who created the deaf sterotype? At The Rim They did it themselves, now trying to backtrack it seems via social media, using arguments against a hearing actor playing a deaf one. Generally, deaf acting advocates are getting a real bashing on social media as certain realities come home to roost. There are a number of responses ATR has collected randomly, so not all from just one site, one or two dedicated BS... Wed, Feb 26 2020 Soap operas go for the deaf angle... Again. At The Rim It won't be awareness because we haven't cracked that ourselves, as it becomes a contention usually. Social media are split between the 'what a great idea!' to 'Oh no are we to go through all this again?' as differing areas argue the pros and con's of signing or CI's etc, do we really care? Read on they are engaging already... 1 There is a report in The Su... Tue, Feb 25 2020 What deaf should NOT do. At The Rim Reading a jokey vlog in the UK from a BSL signer who mocked hearing annoyed at aspects of hearing loss, 'what hearing do, what deaf do', a reader once hearing hit back. 'I have been hearing and deaf and everything else in between for 50 YEARS, the vlogger does not know what she is talking about, perhaps this fabled 'intuition' they claim visually doesn't really e... Sat, Feb 22 2020 Taxi! At The Rim Complaints by deaf and HoH they have no access to the taxi services. (1) My area some taxis are text accessible and take emails already. Signed access is unnecessary and impossible really, only makes access more difficult there are no signed services to facilitate it. (2) Access for access sake, TEXT it! ATR: A lot of poor access is/was because of HEARIN... Fri, Feb 21 2020 I'm not deaf! At The Rim Like so many, JENNI MURRAY refused to accept she was losing her hearing but since getting help realises it's daft that the subject is such a taboo. Curled up on the sofa one Saturday night, I was watching a TV drama with my family. 'Watching' being the right word, as most of what was being said escaped me. Being someone who prides herself on her immaculate diction... Thu, Feb 20 2020 Why DON'T deaf know English? At The Rim Indeed and the USA version of our language leaves a lot to be desired too. They seem to be dropping vowels at random, and the USA grammar is in a structure of its own too. Other than justifying sign language why not challenge the declaration ASL/BSL is an 'IN' to English? or, that cultural demands are opposing the acquisition of English and its grammar? Or ack... Thu, Feb 20 2020 Deaf oxymoron's of the world unite... At The Rim You have nothing to lose but your sign, and everything to gain including speech. [On being an oxymoron in communication.] Sarah Elizabeth Moreman Born deaf, Sarah Moreman used Cued Speech to learn independence. I turned 40 this month, which made me particularly reflective of the twists and turns of my journey as an oxymoron. This perception of my being oxymoro... Thu, Feb 20 2020 And the band played on.. At The Rim Lip-reading, is it worth it? Pretty much the answer is negative, but no Hard of Hearing support for sign language either. Yet more angst from HoH social media... 'Has anyone else tried lip-reading classes and given up? I have tried 3 different terms now and am useless at it. I also found the classes quite tedious despite the nice tutor. I think one problem is... Wed, Feb 19 2020 The sound of bass. At The Rim I think we should be wary of suggesting that appreciation of heavily inclusive bass and percussion actually enhances music appreciation. Deaf are just experiencing the physical pressures Bass and percussions produce, they are still unable to appreciate many instruments or indeed, the singing voice and all the permutations that exist with those, of course, 'pop' music... Wed, Feb 19 2020 SPD new communication Cards
At The Rim It is rather accepting the police are being told we cannot speak and they need not bother to learn sign either isn't it? Is all the deaf can do is point and mime? I don't think this is awareness or access personally I would find it patronising and demeaning. Most deaf can speak, if they choose not to that's silly. Tue, Feb 18 2020 |
