Mock News Conference At The Rim Amercians do seem to place their interpreters don't they? An immense distraction to anyone not deaf, the terps should not be obstructing others on the dais or challenging the speaker image. It's not all about the signer. Tue, Jun 25 2019 · 18 hours ago Raising awareness of the deaf condition. At The Rim TWO deaf pals are walking the length of Britain to raise awareness of their condition and other issues deaf people can face. Danny Dorney, 50, of Huntington, and Mark Hodgson, 43, from Nottingham, along with team driver, Christopher Potts, 41, from Pocklington, have embarked on the almost 900-mile route from John O'Groats to Land's End. Both have faced mental health... Tue, Jun 25 2019 · 19 hours ago Designing for Deaf people.... At The Rim Video HERE:  Websites are a very visual medium. You, therefore, might think that they will work for people who are Deaf. But is that true? Marie tells a personal and entertaining story about things you’ve never realised. About four-dimensional language, the pros and cons of video captions, the recognition of exclusion and, of course, the importance of inclusivity... Tue, Jun 25 2019 · 19 hours ago Deaf-Blind Awareness At The Rim Description: DeafBlind woman with brown hair being pulled back, is wearing a maroon shirt with 3 buttons on front and 3/4 length sleeves with one button on each sleeve. She is standing behind a yellow door with eye hole and tan wall on the right. Transcript: This year, Deafblind awareness week will take place from June 23-27 2019. This annual event draws attenti... Mon, Jun 24 2019 Stuck in the middle At The Rim It really does not have to be this way. People can just be themselves and do not have to fit anyone else's' criteria or identity. It is those 'pressures' (Mostly social I suspect), that makes life miserable for those with hearing loss who either acquire it after formative years or on the cusp of educational areas or struggling to find the most effective means to co... Mon, Jun 24 2019 Concert for the deaf At The Rim 7Up Concert for the Deaf from Will Burroughs on Vimeo. Sun, Jun 23 2019 Sherrie Hewson on her struggle to hear At The Rim I don't think UK charities will need to approach her to champion issues of hearing loss! So many misconceptions about hearing loss and those with them, trotting out the archaic view of 'only oldies wear hearing aids', and then compounding her unawareness by hiding her own hearing loss, and her hearing aids in case her peers stigmatise her. Wearing glasses was OK.Â... Sun, Jun 23 2019 THANKS A 2 MILION!!!! At The Rim ATR extends many thanks to the followers of ATR for helping it reach 2m views on Deaf. Read alone. This is a true reflection of your interest as ATR blocks return visit and views being counted to 'bump up' audience figures too. ATR is a blog produced by 'MM' from Wales in the United Kingdom. It is not culture or 'Deaf' specific in nature but does have own views... Sat, Jun 22 2019 I'm not racist... really! At The Rim While the USA, a country built by migrants that also has controversial views on who and how many to admit has its issues, here is a typical UK view. #1 London lets them all in, then they 'export' them to Wales and Northern England etc after. It is time they examined the criteria for refugee status, starting with a refusal if they come here illegally or pay to do so. ... Fri, Jun 21 2019 The Gift that keeps giving. At The Rim When Telarni Wilson and David Lehfeldt were expecting their first child, Mum endured a normal, healthy pregnancy. The usual morning sickness in the first trimester, and then smooth sailing until their son Wylder was born. But in an unfair turn of events, Wylder’s first 13 months of life have been filled with heartbreak and struggle. After a routine hearing test a... Fri, Jun 21 2019 Sweet (But uneccesary), charity? At The Rim ATR's challenge to charity met in social media and you get a history lesson too. ATR claims charities are a self-perpetuating brake par se on independence for deaf or disabled people and as much the cause as the cure. #1 I'm going to challenge you on what charity always was. It wasn't to replace the NHS, which didn't exist, but to replace a lost/destroyed med... Fri, Jun 21 2019 DDPO closed down. Deaf support being questioned? At The Rim Second time this week we have seen issues emerging regarding deaf support, first in Northern England (Where 70 lost their job at a charity), and again now, in London, probably the most over-served support area in the UK for the deaf. Are local authorities questioning deaf support provision?  London seems awash with them. Every area is demanding own indepen... Fri, Jun 21 2019 A cure for Tinnitus? At The Rim I'm happy all these 'lab rats' gerbils and guinea-pigs, are being cured of hearing loss issues, but, when are they going to start on us? A cure for tinnitus could come in the form of a pill following a breakthrough by a scientist. The debilitating condition was stopped in mice by blocking a protein that fuels brain inflammation. The US team of scientist are hopeful... Wed, Jun 19 2019 Tips for the non-Deaf. At The Rim Unsure if using sign as primary access means in vision is applicable? You can understand the inclusion aspect but relevance needs to be considered too, as we don't use sign language as a primary communication format. Just because a minority do is lacking relevance and reality. Thus, awareness. deaf and Deaf are the reality and regardless of inclusive approache... Wed, Jun 19 2019 Listening & Speaking, the deaf escape route. At The Rim You don't need to be defined by sign.  A charity working to give deaf children and babies the opportunity to listen and speak as equals alongside their hearing peers has received funding for therapy sessions to keep up with demand in London. Ernie and his parents John and Chrissi joined AVUK’s programme when he was seven months old. He is now 12 and thriving... Wed, Jun 19 2019 How to include yourself at meetings. At The Rim He is halfway there. But deafened and others who don't sign with hearing loss, attain many skills deaf do not actually utilise effectively themselves because of sign reliance, because they rely on the translator. Not enough individual effort is made by deaf signers to research what they need to know. Most Deafened and others NEVER attend meetings without proper ... Tue, Jun 18 2019 Really? At The Rim There was no other way to alert the teacher in a classroom? Surely an animal is a distraction in a children's class? A deaf primary school teacher is able to continue working in the classroom thanks to his hearing dog assistant. Graham Sage's Cocker Spaniel Jovi alerts him with a tap if a pupil raises their hand when his back is turned, and lets him know when th... Tue, Jun 18 2019 Shut up! At The Rim Social media and the hearing aid user, not happy restaurants and other publicly accessible areas are too noisy and denigrate their social access.  The initial post suggested we should sue noisy establishments or demand designated quieter areas for those with hearing loss. Four responses here... #1 I have to say that even though I have a terrible time in restaura... Mon, Jun 17 2019 Cinema subtiling campaign hits wall. At The Rim Do cinema owners have a point,?when she isn't showing a demand for them?  My local cinema could only attract 3 deaf people with their access offer. Should hearing wishes for no subtitling be respected too? A deaf blogger from Wymondham has been told by cinema bosses it is her responsibility to show the demand is there for subtitled movies amid a passionate cam... Mon, Jun 17 2019 A respone to ATR's Political post. At The Rim An Online View by William K? (Posters are saying they aren't able to comment here? ATR will print any reasonable response let us know why you can't.). The response was too lengthy to include in the comment spot anyway. Try a PM to the ATR social site if all else fails. #William_K ATR is covering political representation by BSL users, but the UK actually ... Sun, Jun 16 2019 Infographics: Sign Language in Politics At The Rim Find out in this timeline Deaf people around the world who have held political responsibilities and who communicate in Sign Language in the exercise of their functions.[ATR] Try to avoid UK Deaf political sites they have no idea how to attain representation because they refuse to get involved outside the deaf area themselves, they use excuses e.g. we don't have access... Sun, Jun 16 2019 It’s Perfectly OK To Call A Disabled Person... At The Rim We are defined by our sensory loss, there are no two trains of thought on this since with viable hearing we would not sign, not attend 'special' schools, not require 'support staff' etc... hence no culture would exist surrounding it. The annoyance is with those who we accepted may never have had any experiences of hearing to adopt this is a norm approach, where it f... Sat, Jun 15 2019 You don't need to know sign language to work with deaf... At The Rim So ASL doesn't have enough signs to effectively communicate? James Rooney hadn't planned on carving out a niche working with deaf clients. But nearly 30 years after his first encounter with a deaf client, he has become Morgan Stanley's go-to adviser for this unique community of clients. "The firm has given me a special designation and if a deaf client were to walk ... Sat, Jun 15 2019 Why deaf charities prosper.. At The Rim And perhaps why many should not? There is no mention of qualifications for the people that run them.  There is no coverage of the degree of staff viability, background, or experience.  This appears to be the opposite of how employers hire staff, in that there is an essental qualification to do the job. The deaf are a vulnerable and disabled area with a high d... Wed, Jun 12 2019 Deaf Charity folds and under Investgation by Charity... At The Rim Most of these cases are down to people who lack sufficient qualifications to run a 'business' for the deaf, by far, the Charity Commission does not check sufficiently if many such appeals for charity status are viable or can be run properly. Anyone can set up a charity and it shows. The fact you are deaf also isn't enough qualification to run a charity supplying s... Wed, Jun 12 2019 30 yrs old This week! At The Rim [Pity Captions are missing...]. Did you know that the Auslan Dictionary was released 30 years ago? Auslan has been used by Deaf Australians for many years possibly 100 years or more. But, 30 years ago Trevor Johnston, whose parents are deaf, had the idea of bringing people together to research and write the Auslan Dictionary. This book was a significant step in... Wed, Jun 12 2019 Deaf Students abandoning courses through lack of support? At The Rim Lack of support in universities drives deaf students to consider leaving degrees Undergraduates feel they are wasting £9,250-a-year tuition fees amid long waits for help. Annie Cuckson, 23, says her university's failure to support her deafness has resulted in her feeling anxious Annie Cuckson, 23, says her university's failure to support her deafness has resulte... Tue, Jun 11 2019 Let your fingers do the listening. At The Rim In an effort to make world an easier place for deaf and help them, scientists have made a device that might allow the deaf to ‘hear through their fingertips’. An international team of researchers have created a new device, known as a ‘Vibrating Auditory Stimulator’, which could help people with hearing disability by buzzing two of their fingers. The team s... Tue, Jun 11 2019 Bring back deaf dependency on the system. At The Rim This seems to directly oppose the view and aim of current BSL users under 60. Integration is decimating the deaf community ethos and isolating the older deaf claims this group. For many older deaf who grew up almost totally reliant on a dedicated signing service now find that since youth rejected the concept and demanded access to Interpreters instead, this has l... Tue, Jun 11 2019 BREAKING NEWS.... BREAKING NEWS.... BREAKI.... At The Rim Still, the UK's ONLY independent deaf blogger, accept no imitations or sponsored sites.  CATCH UP HERE! Sat, Jun 08 2019 Tackling Invisible Disabilities. At The Rim You cannot help feeling the well-meaning amongst us still do not understand the issues of having a disability that cannot be immediately seen, its why we see the endless logo of wheelchairs etc because it something immediately recognisable as something connected with a disabled person. The 'Ear/Hand' logos are just plain contentious or confusing because seeing such l... Fri, Jun 07 2019 Deaf Literacy Project At The Rim The suggestion ASL isn't helping the deaf student/potential employee must raise some questions... Has the USA a signed equivalent of English they can use? It's clear the differing ASL grammar/language aspect is a brake on inclusion, as is the UK's BSL equivalent. Deaf pride isn't paying the mortgage. Deaf should retain their preferences for social intercourse, an... Fri, Jun 07 2019 Hear through your fingertips At The Rim Amongst the challenges faced by the deaf is what's known as the "cocktail party effect," in which they have difficulty discerning one speaker's voice from others in crowded, noisy environments. A new device could help, however – by buzzing two of their fingers. Led by The Hebrew University of Jerusalem's Dr Amir Amedi, an international research team started with 1... Wed, Jun 05 2019 Welsh Charity awards for the BSL-Friendly. At The Rim Is BSL awareness, deaf awareness? It isn't. We still do not get a breakdown of what the course of BSL awareness, is. The irony being the AOHL is a Hard Of Hearing charity the BSL user deserted many years ago for repression of the sign user and the brutal sacking of the one (and still only), BSL CEO by Hard of Hearing members and hearing AOHL staff.  One ar... Wed, Jun 05 2019 ENT Caption generating At The Rim I can agree with the issue live captioning is still an issue with some deaf. In the UK it appears we get the USA created software involved in our captioning and subtitling, (A la Google it seems!), and the standard of spelling and grammar suffers because USA English is a type of its own. Some of we can ignore, some just make no sense at all. Accents seem to thro... Tue, Jun 04 2019 Ambulance staff learn sign language At The Rim Ambulance staff learn sign language in an effort to help patients with hearing loss The Welsh Ambulance Service has been recognised for its efforts to become more accessible for those with hearing loss. Following the introduction of a scheme which encourages staff to learn how to speak the British Sign Language (BSL), the service picked up the Service Excellence an... Tue, Jun 04 2019 Captions turning a negative to a positive. At The Rim A negative experience has turned into an opportunity for change for Melbourne’s deaf community. In April a group of about 40 deaf people attended an advertised open captions screening of The Avengers at Village Cinemas at the Sunshine Marketplace. The group quickly realised that something had gone wrong and there were no captions. One member of the group, Alexa... Tue, Jun 04 2019 The BSL Dream At The Rim ATR made these points to the deaf community 15 YEARS ago, that to initiate any BSL act you had to have the infrastructure and demand proven to enable it. Instead, BSL lobbies rambled endlessly on about culture and sign and, relied on Untrained help and families instead.  When asked to properly explain WHERE they get their statistics and demand from? they rever... Tue, Jun 04 2019 Overcoming Hearing aid Aversion and Loss attitudes.. At The Rim Family-Centered Care Addressing potential barriers to hearing aid uptake in a structured and transparent way An extended version of the FOCAS tool, the FOCAS–ME, has the potential to address the emotional impact of hearing loss on both clients and their families, removing barriers to hearing aid adoption Shareno comments Sabaa Tahir writes: ‘Your emotions make you...

At The Rim A pint of Guinness each day can help stop you going deaf, new research shows. Long thought to have medicinal properties, Guinness, thanks to its high iron content, may also combat hearing loss. It's official, Guinness is good for you Up until recently, Guinness was given to patients in recovery to build up their strength and now, apparently, it replaces lost iron,...
