Uni-Sign At The Rim According to the USA "There is no universal sign language. Different sign languages are used in different countries or regions." A response to a recent social media plug for uni-sign with not many impressed with that. "I don't think many UK deaf understand it at all, I was surprised people like the BDA etc actually attend the EUD as they always ne... Mon, Jan 20 2020 · 20 hours ago Astronomy has a sign problem. At The Rim We think the sign is the problem, it's 'language' and 'dictionary' lacks sufficient signs to do in-depth subjects and detail. Ask ANY deaf sign user to explain. You might just as well ask them to explain thermonuclear dynamics in depth. Mostly deaf were conned about how effective their language is. Rather than understand their education and sign was poor, they ... Sat, Jan 18 2020 Deaf man sues for lack of porn access. At The Rim A deaf man has sued Pornhub over allegations that it does not place closed-caption subtitles on its videos.

It’s easy to create an electronic document from scratch or upload an existing Micros... Fri, Jan 17 2020 Forced to fund raise to communicate to own child. At The Rim Why didn't social services or the school teach the parents it? It makes no sense to teach a deaf child a language the parents can't follow. Parents of a toddler who is deaf hope they will finally be able to communicate with her after being forced to fundraise for sign language lessons. Ros and Josh Hannam, from Caldicot, were told after Lola was born that they wo... Fri, Jan 17 2020 Wills does some finger-spelling.

Thu, Jan 16 2020 Are Hearing People Destroying Deaf Education At The Rim ATR: One suspects hearing areas are trying to establish a norm regarding sign language to enable children deaf more able to integrate with hearing? But yes, commercialisation of sign language is the norm in the UK too, the success of deaf activism in selling sign language was seen an opportunity by hearing areas to capitalise on. Sign is a victim of its own 'suc... Wed, Jan 15 2020 Protocols for accessing the hearing. At The Rim The perfect meeting, does it exist? I've used various technologies but hearing workers rendered them unreliable because they kept talking over each other and would not wait until I could follow properly. The right protocol presumably, is one person speaking at a time and nobody having a discussion amongst themselves, (so that prevents the Deaf bothering to hold on... Wed, Jan 15 2020 Top 10 Deaf responses to the BBC Teletext closure. At The Rim Assembled from various Social media sites and collated to give a general overview of the BBC's decision to remove Teletext options, and then cross-relating it to TV media exposure for deaf people and their sign language. #1 I think it (Teletext), has served it purpose really. It was wonderful years ago to be able to switch on the TV and see what other deaf people... Tue, Jan 14 2020 BBC to close their text service. At The Rim Deaf social media on the BBC's recent declaration they are removing their TV text service. ATR: We read this before we quite liked that service as it was essential before we all had access to the net on phones etc, but bear in mind many older deaf (Reputed to be above 60%), still don't access online and now won't have access via their TV anymore. We appreciat... Mon, Jan 13 2020 Breaking News: Queen has a hearing aid.

Mon, Jan 13 2020 My life with hearing loss At The Rim ATR recommends this blog written by Steve Claridge, as a deserving read.

At The Rim We are now seeing how the 'restructuring' of the olde RNID is now panning out, after warnings they were losing money, it's CEO said 'we want to now concentrate on the cure.'

Sun, Jan 12 2020 Do deaf people? At The Rim If they never meet deaf people should you not be asking why? There are many within the deaf community who have no interest in integrating with or meeting up with hearing people on any regular basis and defend the 'deaf space' to the point of banning hearing going into the deaf community areas to SEE what they really do, all it is, is mostly half-hearted attempts to t... Sun, Jan 12 2020 The Deaf and Mental Health (II).

At The Rim Seems they got little else but publicity but played down the fact the Welsh Assembly did not in the end, endorse it despite a campaign lasting 3 years... Comment: BSL promotes BSL there was little or no evidence the deaf were using BSL to access welsh or wanted to, and there is well-known deaf opposition to learning English grammar too, the petition was not exa... Wed, Jan 08 2020 How Useful are CI's? At The Rim The usefulness of cochlear implantation in children with single-sided deafness Objectives: Children with single-sided deafness (SSD) show a poorer performance at school, which is attributable to reduced speech discrimination in noise, to reduced localization ability, and to a decreased power of concentration due to faster hearing exhaustion.

At The Rim Cygnet has a mental health hospital in Bury with all profoundly deaf patients. Social media comment hides the reality of deaf mental health 'specialised support'.

We live alongs... Fri, Jan 03 2020 Post it? Lose it? get Spammed instead. At The Rim One result of a recent search: Only 24 UK deaf links today, but just THREE of them concerned the UK itself. Can youtube posters please remember adding the 'deaf/sign/culture or hearing loss' tags will NOT mean it can be located by UK deaf viewers? Not even adding 'UK' will guarantee it relates to them.

At The Rim Probably the story of the year where equal rights success, created huge inequalities and discrimination as a direct result, and why there is a need to re-write the human rights laws in the UK so EVERYONE gets the same deal.

Sat, Dec 28 2019 The missing 'LINK' At The Rim As we grind on tpo yet another year, just what IS available for people losing hearing, and struggling with it? This charity offers some sort of talk and linking up with other therapies to help us cope, but looks more like the off-shoot of lip-reading class systems where those who really can struggle to cope cannot access even that. Talking requires hearing what i...

Thu, Dec 26 2019 Does BSL exist? At The Rim Some social media responses cast doubt on it. "The fact is that British Sign Language was invented by a team of academics. Some of them were awarded OBE's for their work. I know this because I went to school with some of them. You need to distinguish between sign language, which probably goes back to the cave men and British Sign Language which was invented at t... Tue, Dec 24 2019 Learning the lessons. At The Rim I have decided to give deaf peers a miss next year and to revert to my age-old fantasy of being a hearing and normal person again, or whatever today passes as normality. I suspect it won't be as easy as last time when I had a hearing aid nobody could see, and I couldn't hear with anyway. I keep reading on the social media and dedicated deaf sites about how th...
