Hearing dog

I slouched at the table in the boring, gray counselor's room, headphones squeezing my ears, as I did my first hearing and vision screening. The counselor played a series of beeps, and I gave a thumbs up for every time I heard something. Before I knew it, the test was over, and I walked out without giving any further thought to the screening. I had no reason to, as my mom had explained to me earlier that this was simply a mandatory, routine check-up, nothing to worry about. Soon, I was back in my…

In everyday life we interpret the world around us using our five senses: touch, smell, taste, sight, and hearing. What if you were born without one of those senses, or maybe multiple of them? How do people adapt to the world if they are born blind, and is it the same way people that have an accident or disease that caused their blindness later on in life adapt? We know that people have overcome their disabilities to do great things for instance Hellen Keller who was born a deaf/blind/mute went…

I sat at the table in the counselor's office room, uncomfortably tight headphones on my ears. Taking the the hearing and vision screening test for the first time ever. Beeps pulsed through my ears, I gave a thumbs up for every beep I heard, and before I knew it, the test was over. I walked out, without giving any thought to the events that had just occurred. What was there to consider? Soon I was back in class, learning how to spell “light” and “right”. Which I had apparently been spelling wrong…

“I FOUND IT!” Nicole burst into Zach’s apartment, waving a sheet of notebook paper. “Found what?” Zach sat up, his heart swelling at the thought of what she might say next. “The address, Zach, the address, it’s the paper factory!” Nicole shrieked and laughed, almost starting to dance around the room. “Holy- holy cow, Nicole!” Zach laughed. Nicole leapt at him and they grabbed each other into a hug. “Y-you aren’t joking?” “No!” Nicole was overcome with emotion. “We-we found her. We did it.”…

is going to talk about. 25. He starts off by saying how listening is an active skill and that how hearing is a passive skill. So basically, you hear all the time, even when you are sleeping, and you only listen when you actively want to e.g. When for instance when you are talking to someone and the news channel is on at the same time, you may be listening to the person you are talking to but hearing the news in the background.…

“What is that!?” Earl said. Earl is 57 years old and has been living in his house for eight weeks. In five weeks something has ran underneath Earl’s rug. It has came after a week of living there and it disappeared until two weeks later. The first time it came Earl was working on an important job and it ran underneath the rug and knocked over his lamp that was beside his desk. “Ahhh!” Earl screamed, “What is that? Is it a rat? Is it a mouse?” Earl thought to himself “What could have that been?…

Eddison Ma Ms. Kekelis Language Arts 8M4 15 March 2016 Title “Hey!” A strong, effective, low- voice squealed over the towering skyscrapers, beyond the baseball court with numerous people. Everyone was curious where the sound materialized from. We recognize that there was a dilapidated, undiscovered house. It seemed the house was protruding because of its size and quality. A man wearing a white T- shirt, cerulean jeans, and a pair of cracked slippers expeditiously dashed over here. He held a…

Drug Court requires the participants to test negative on a urinalysis report weekly and also to participate in AA/NA groups or other recovery self-help groups. Through Drug Court, offenders are treated with the expectation of treatment being…

The first example I chose was a telephone company representative asks you switch to their new long distance system. Possible barriers could be within attending, understanding, and remembering. For example, you might only attend or selectively listen to what you want to hear. You hear that the long distance plan is only $9.99 a month. However what you don’t hear is that it is only $9.99 for the first three months. After that the plan increases to $49.99 a month. This could also be an example for…
