When Hearing Coaches coach deaf athletes there can be a lot of confusion but there are some things that can bring faster success results. Teammates and coaches need to be sure that the deaf athlete is facing coach during instructions and soaking up information. If interpreters are used they should be standing next to the coach when in the huddle to communicate with the child letting them know what to do. Hearing coaches have to be nice to deaf athletes because…

like /g/ (Gold, 1978). Phonemes in the front of the mouth are more visible compared to phonemes in the back of the mouth. Substitution errors in the manner of articulation relate to nasal-oral substitution. Nasality is one component that affects hearing-impaired children. Nasalization problems occur because of poor velopharnygeal closure. For example, to produce an /n/, the port must be open. To produce a /d/, the port must remain closed. Nasal errors are considered to be “a segmental…

Deaf people are likely to enter therapy with the same problems as hearing people. However, there are many studies showing that members of the Deaf community experience health disparities due to language barriers, which contribute to lower health literacy1,2. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that most physicians and psychologist are not adequately prepared to provide linguistically and culturally competent care for deaf patients3. Also, the deaf community experience many obstacles to get…

of this paper is to argue that it would be in the child’s best interest to introduce both them and their hearing family to deaf culture and raise the child in that culture until they, alone, are of the mind that they would prefer to undergo cochlear implant surgery. The first step in raising a child who is hard of hearing or deaf is to accept the fact that they are, in fact, hard of hearing or deaf. According to Virginia Frazier-Maiwald and Lenore M. Williams’ advice book, Keys to Raising a…

the story of a deaf boy named Thomas and his hearing parents. Like many hearing parents they struggled with figuring out what was best for their deaf son. The father chose to interview different individuals in both the oral approach as well as individuals in the Deaf community and Deaf individuals to figure out what method would be best for Thomas. I found this video very fascinating and find this story to be very relatable and similar to other hearing parents who have deaf children. The…

they do not understand the causes and effects. Deafness results from a variety of problems in the ear. Sensorineural hearing loss occurs when there is damage to the sensory cells in the cochlea (13). Some people get nerve deafness when nerves in the inner ear are not properly working and do not send enough signals to the brain (Royston 9). One could have inherited loss of hearing caused by mutations of genes, which affects multiple cells in the inner ear (Lerner). Others become deaf if they have…

impact it had on the deaf culture. Another finding as stated in the previous paragraph was the limited amount of research that tested academic growth of deaf children with or without cochlear implants. Most of the references used were compared to hearing children. There is still much knowledge to be learned about deaf culture and cochlear implantation use that isn’t yet…

Laboratory at Vanderbilt University, and Allyson Sisler-Dinwiddie, audiologist. Allyson suffered from hearing loss as a child, but a car accident left her with a total loss of hearing. Determined not to let her disability deter her, she became a recipient of a cochlear implant herself. She was amazed by the increase in hearing that she had now compared to the limited hearing she had as a child with hearing…

found out that there are more similarities than differences among them and their hearing counterparts. They went through the normal babbling sounds and other processes that the hearing ones went through. As hearing people we all tend to think that there is something wrong with a child that is Deaf, and they need fixing. The only disadvantage in my opinion that a Deaf child has is when he or she is born to a hearing family is the fact that it takes longer for the child to learn ASL; because the…
