The Deaf in China
The Ambling Rambler I was having an interesting conversation with my students from Hong Kong and China recently, about deafness. She told me that they never see any deaf people in Hong Kong or China. They didn't know why, but they just didn't.I had a wee laugh over this initially because what do 'deaf' people look like??? We dont exactly standout a crowd.But the conversation made me curi...

Deaf Pride
Life of the Hard of Hearing Deaf Pride has always interested me in so many ways. The way the culture is formed, the stance on things they believe in, pride itself, what they wish and inform others of. Deaf Pride is very strong and not one to really be messed with. People of Deaf Pride have been very stringent on who belongs to the community. They have been known to reject even deaf people who we...

Deafhood Re-visited...
At The Rim After the first flush of Deafhood it seems for the British anyway, the party is well over, in reality it wasn't happening anyway here (sorry). Brits are constantly bemused by the massive interest taken in the 'concept' Via Mr Ladd, who is more famous here for his need for a shave, than for his semi-biblical book, which implores the deaf to undertake 'Journeys' and bo...

Sorenson Communications Robs Canada
submit by: Anonymous Sorenson Communications made sure they took interpreters from deaf people in a Canadian locale and used them to benefit the U.S. I'm not at all interested in their loophole rationales. This is other reason why we need to really boycott Sorenson Communications.

Captioning on the Airlines--We'll Need a New Law
DeafMom It looks like I'll have to keep dreaming. I recently shared my experience in trying to get subtitled movies on a flight from Chicago to Hawaii. I called United Airlines again to get them to load a subtitled movie on the flight home. It's not going to happen. "I'm sorry, we don't show subtitled movies for the flight you are...

Deaf Talk or ASL Talk
Kalalau's Korner Deaf talk seemed to come on like the flu. Suddenly, out of nowhere, everyone was talking about being Deaf.

And just like the flu leaves its victims feeling awful and helpless, such as the case for my being Deaf.I don't clearly remember the actual conversations. I do, however, rememb...

The Human Fertilisation And Embrology Bill
All The Young Dudes As I was writing the last post in the Human Fertilisation And Embryology Bill, I realised eradicating deaf people would have far greater consequences than most people realise. It would be in the interests of the Cochlear Industries, and hearing aid manufacturers, and other firms specialising in assistive listening technologies to get their fat arses behind [...]

deafness and hearing aids Something unusual happened in the office last week: I had a conversation with several people about my hearing problems and the aids that I wear.
