Is it dyconscious or dysconscious?

It may be recruitment or that the attack time needs to be decreased (for the sudden pulsing sounds like a dolphin or sudden fart noise). Your audiologist should be able to decrease your MPO (the limit of how loud the hearing aid will go at one or two frequencies to not allow it to get too loud)...

That's a great poem! Thanks for posting it.

Somehow all of this turned into a debate on intervention approaches. I can tell, however, that this is a big interest area. Does anyone have any other areas that they'd like to see more research? (hearing, Deaf culture, deafness, etc.)

Very true A and shel90. Speech, as with anything, improves with practice and declines with a lack of practice. Individual speech perception and production most likely varies depending on their everyday environment (whether they are forced to use/practice speech). shel90 I think the reason...

So this is mostly a question of first versus second language. I person will usually be more comfortable (fluent) in their first language, but it really depends on the amount and type of exposure. Some children CAN be as fluent in spoken English as a second language as children with spoken...

I'm not sure if we're on the same page. A child in an ASL environment will most likely be fluent in ASL, but may succeed in English as a 2nd language (if properly exposed to it). A child in an oral-only program may be fluent in English if properly exposed, but they may also have difficulty...

My high school (in North Carolina) offered ASL as a 2nd language.

Hello Everyone, :wave: Throughout my school program (I'm studying to be an Audiologist) I have the opportunity to research various topics. I'm currently considering doing a research study on Deaf, hard-of-hearing, and/or Deaf culture. If I could research any topic, what would you...

Unfortunately, most Audiology clinics are stuck in the past; however, a few are not and some of us (including me! ;) ) are trying to get more communication options available since the clinic is for people with a hearing loss. Audiology clinics are focused on helping with hearing and balance...

I'm hearing.

Yes, thank you Lighthouse! The person I'm speaking of, said that Deaf (in the Deaf culture) people hold to the belief/ideal that their culture is better and so keep their hearing children from (avoidable aspects of) the hearing world (e.g. exposure to speech and oral education). I'm polling to...

Please vote in the poll. Thanks a bunch!!

Please be patient with me. I'm trying to prove something about Deaf culture to someone I know. Thank you.

:hmm: I'm curious as to what those of you that are Deaf think about CODA exposure to the hearing world. I'd appreciate your participation.

Hahahaha.:lol:

I'll do my best! Change takes time. :)

Wow, I'm glad you've shared. I (as a Audiology student) have learned a lot. Also, some AuD.'s use the greeting (calling the person's name) as a first impression. Not all clients/patients come in with hearing losses (some come with tinnitus, vestibular problems, or just a check up) so it's a good...

Redmachchick, HA's have improved a lot... they now have directional feature that you can adjust by hand ( or not depending on what you want), automatic background noise filters, and a lot of other features. As the others said, there are BAHAs and hearing aids that can give you auditory...
