Are the Deaf just opportunists? At The Rim While a court case took place recently by deaf using the government for non-provision of BSL on a few covid updates, thereby hangs the tale. Last year Deaf were warned that opportunist campaigns taking place during covid were working against deaf interests in the main, as deaf were seen dissing access other deaf used (Subtitles, Captions), and even attacking BSL int... Thu, Jun 17 2021 ATR's response the Welsh Senedd (BSL Bill proposal). At The Rim Having had 51% response from Senedd members regarding the BSL Bill proposal (Which is 50% more than the BDA had!), we include the latest response their official reply to ATR (Which was basically a cut and paste from the BDA's demands. HI. Many thanks for your response. Unfortunately, the BDA and other groups are claiming the Senedd has accepted a BSL Bill and ... Wed, Jun 16 2021 New BSL co-operative ‘could transform the future of... At The Rim A New BSL co-operative ‘could transform the future of interpreting’ [Not the view of BSL interpreters!]. A partnership between Deaf people and British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters could be set to transform the future of interpreting across the UK. Leading Deaf figures are supporting a new co-operative that is developing an online platform that they hope ... Wed, Jun 16 2021 Communication Strategy. At The Rim It is a moot point with audiology areas. As the poster says, they assess the degree of loss, and how much amplification, etc can help what hearing you have left, really they should be then referring clients to CAV (communication assessment viability), areas and even counseling. As yet these don't exist it is either learn BSL or try to lip-read and try to follow t... Tue, Jun 15 2021 Barking up the wrong trees? At The Rim There are huge differences in how signed support operates between the USA and other areas e.g. the UK. Who told deaf in no uncertain terms they please themselves how they work, who they support, and when. There is little or no agency that can oversee and act if an interpreter creates an issue for a deaf person, they cannot be taken to task for mis-signing an issue... Sat, Jun 12 2021 Government and BSL At The Rim Taken from Westminster's own accessibility area. British Deaf Association state that there are 151,000 users of British sign language in the UK. [Not validated and regarded as hearsay] BSL was developed over several centuries. However, it was not until 2003 that the then Government announced that BSL would be formally recognised as an official minority language i... Tue, Jun 08 2021 Link-Up. At The Rim A 'Mini-Zoom' venture aimed at creating an accessible space for those to socialize with hearing loss. But already being spammed! Given the UK has 10 MILLION with hearing loss will this micro version of 8 people do anything much? Is it a viable alternative to face to face which HL has abandoned due to Covid. LinkUps Our LinkUps are for people who ar... Mon, Jun 07 2021 Deaf lives are worthless. At The Rim Doesn't look like the Scottish BSL Bill is working! Doctors at NHS Scotland gave a deaf man a ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ order without his knowledge or consent. The profoundly deaf man is a resident at Deaf Action’s supported accommodation for deaf adults in Slateford Green, Edinburgh. He is in his 60s, with a good quality of life. He had no knowledge of... Sat, Jun 05 2021 Mee Maws..... At The Rim Lip-speaking just not as we know it perhaps. (Ok what did he say?). #1 mee-maw (third-person singular simple present mee-maws, present participle mee-mawing, simple past and past participle mee-mawed) To make exaggerated movements with the mouth so as to be understood above a loud noise, such as that of machinery. To make a two-syllable wailing noise. #2 ... Fri, Jun 04 2021 BSL Bill (Wales). Set to fail. At The Rim As seen from the latest Senedd updates, they are no longer pursuing deaf issues in Wales after Senedd members pulled out and Charities did feeling it was all wasted time with 65% non-attending any meetings and grass-root deaf barred from inclusion. The nail in the BSL coffin seems to be a circular distributed to every Senedd member by ATR pointing out n... Wed, Jun 02 2021 A Deaf fairy tale.... At The Rim 'We aren't disabled.....' Of course, the deaf are disabled, ignorance, paranoias, and cultural hype can be barely an excuse. They have special schools day one, claim the highest disability support allowances and welfare, are classed as having special needs by own demand. They claim disability funding even to promote their own 'culture', where they launch output in... Tue, Jun 01 2021 The Sunday Quiz (2021) At The Rim Updated to modern norms..... Are you a 'Paul' or a 'Sue'? Sun, May 30 2021 The secret Pandemic... At The Rim It's a global pandemic that makes Covid appear like the common cold. 25-30% of the entire world population suffers hearing loss and those going deaf are getting younger, it's not an old person's issue anymore or a 'natural' degrading of hearing, with disgruntled oldies holding a cupped hand to their ear, get real! We are deafening ourselves. We compensate by goin... Sat, May 29 2021 Is Video Relay a failure? At The Rim ATR had a few Twitter responses recently complaining video relay was not being supported by Deaf who sign much because the interpreters were unknown to deaf and there was no time to establish rapport by the terp or by the client. It was essential from the professional viewpoint they are able to assess to what degree they need to pitch BSL support via on-t... Fri, May 28 2021 Making Employers aware. At The Rim I think employers are more interested on what deaf can do for them, what qualifications and abilities they possess. The perception of 'issues' with communication puts employers off when they can hire a hearing person who doesn't present any of those issues. Employers have deadlines to meet, and I cannot help wondering is it isn't their 'job' to enhance deaf outcom... Thu, May 27 2021 Do's and Don'ts. At The Rim Perhaps if deaf people emerged from their own clubs and went to hearing one's inclusion would happen a lot quicker? Ditto if hearing attended deaf clubs it could widen the awareness so many deaf lack. Lecturing (Or poking fun at people from distance), is never going to work it will be ignored. Next up 'What deaf people have to do to talk to hearing people?'... Thu, May 27 2021 Covid means awareness? At The Rim More awareness, but more inclusion? Show us the proof. We saw signer interpreters on TV, you even get a few in a soap opera... but how many deaf follow what is media signed? We saw statistics wall to wall aired, how many deaf followed them or understood them? Most hearing couldn't. We saw not the system but charities and various deaf groups trying to expla... Wed, May 26 2021 Hear me Out. At The Rim There aren't 11m UK deaf, but less than 70,000, there is a need to raise the profile of the hard of hearing, deafened, and CI majority areas. Personally, I do not believe apps or remote socializing is viable or wanted from us, people need people. The deaf community is already organized, it is the rest who aren't. Online socializing has failed and mostly chaos, bia... Mon, May 24 2021 The Welsh Deaf/HoH scene. At The Rim Last listed assessment of social club activities pre-Covid, how many will still exist after? ATR is told many here listed (Particularly the Hearing loss/hard of Hearing clubs), no longer exist, we are awaiting confirmation. ABERDARE HARD OF HEARING CLUB Meets: 3rd Wednesday of the month 1.30-3.30pm Where: St Mair’s Day Centre, Aberdare CF44 7BD ABERYSTWYTH... Sun, May 23 2021 Better Hearing and Speech Month. At The Rim Not really explaining HOW groups of Hard of Hearing are actually communicating? Captioned and accessible Zoom isn't real-time face-to-face communication, and there is a real need to address what this area of hearing loss needs to empower and enable them as individuals on the main street and, with families. The ancient face me and speak clearly thing doesn't rea... Sat, May 22 2021 ATR Launches opposition to Welsh BSL Bill. At The Rim Readers can find below the contents of a recent missive sent to every single member of the Welsh Senedd, and is primarily a response to Mark Isherwood's proposal for a Welsh BSL Bill. It is quite length but does contain validated source. The case against a Welsh Bill for British Sign Language. Deaf Senedd Member. I trust that the heading is not misread as any... Thu, May 20 2021 BSL Bill. Questions we don't get answered. At The Rim Are BSL people aiming to use it in education? raising concerns it could create 'have and have nots' deaf kids selected by modus used? in any other area this would be a discrimination, and parents appear to be left out of the debates. The NDCS [their major representation], also have reservations about choice being undermined for parents and deaf children. By far... Tue, May 18 2021 Community (NI). At The Rim How the Northern Irish deaf community is struggling with inclusion... at the cost to their culture. Deaf schools and clubs closing, and cultural meetings declining as younger deaf take to the net and mainstream instead? Whilst covid drives it recently, is there a way back? Can deaf culture exist via proxy and remote? Tue, May 18 2021 ATR Versus the 'Deaf'? At The Rim Exposed as a complete lie..... as we read on a leading UK disability site..... when they discussed the issues of assessing care and support for disabled people.... ATR was virtually the sole hearing loss contributor. The comment: 'Care needs assessment' (support does too!), but in the hearing loss area, that isn't possible. First you have to identify those i... Mon, May 17 2021 Deaf facing Interpreter shortages. At The Rim In Australia anyway. The UK issue is simply lack of demand despite relentless campaigns for more BSL terps, the Interpreters themselves say they don't see the work. Statistically, we are told (By the BDA anyway!), 105K BSL people reside in the UK, and only 900 terps exist to serve them. On the face of it a gross shortage of BSL support, but, is it? Various su... Sun, May 16 2021 Hearing buds or hearing aids? At The Rim Might encourage younger areas with hearing loss to wear hearing aids? Fri, May 14 2021 We are ALL doomed.... At The Rim A cursory online search revealed 66,000 articles on why hearing loss makes it almost certain you will suffer more ailments than anyone who has a few db left to their name, is it not time for the USA and other areas to quit surveying the same 10 people with every illness (Minor and otherwise), and then identifying us, as them? The numbers/stats reveal there is nothin... Fri, May 14 2021 Deaf don't need assistance animals? At The Rim They are abusing blind needs? More barking about the need for the deaf to have an assistance dog (Debate about it would be a fine thing!), after reading one deaf journalist with 3 or 4 dogs being challenged in a hotel, claimed they listened for her and she had a legal right to take them anywhere with her, but the Hearing Dog charity said she had no validation for an... Wed, May 12 2021 What Price Representation? At The Rim Sadly (Or not depending which part of the body you use to communicate with), Mr Mark Isherwood who proposed a BSL Bill in Wales has not won his electoral seat, combined with next to zero support for the Bill, it looks pointless to pursue with it. We also knew charity and politicians abandoned representation for deaf people at the Senedd, and what there is was done... Sat, May 08 2021 Barriers to deaf seeking work At The Rim Research reveals significant barriers to employment for deaf people. New research by the RAD has highlighted the challenges faced by deaf people when securing and progressing in work. The survey, which polled the experiences of deaf people in relation to employment and career progression, was carried out at the end of 2020. Amongst the issues raised by respondents... Fri, May 07 2021 When we used our teeth to hear..
At The Rim Needless to say it never caught on! Dental hearing aid gets approved in Europe. Once placed in the mouth, the device becomes almost invisible. A new hearing aid that transmits sound through a person's teeth has been approved for use in Europe. The device, called SoundBite, directs sound through the jawbone and into the inner ear. It is placed onto the u... Fri, May 07 2021 |
