update on audiologist
A more silent world So we went to NYU for an EOAE test and he promptly failed. So we went directly to ABR, bone conduction, and tympanogram. Basically, he can hear with a threshold of about 35dB as far as we can tell, and any loss is almost certainly sensorineural like mine.

ASL may Disappear ? The 7th sense ?
At The Rim In reply to HERE, ASL may not die as a 'language' but there is every possibility that like BSL, it will lose its grammatical base to English at some point. The educational establishments tend to push towards a 'norm' to make things easier etc, signs (No pun intended !), are already there, as we progress through the years, new words and terms evolve, it is a natural...

Periscopic Eyes to the World's Stage. Did I misspell the word, 'Periscopic' in my title?

A NICE result on cochlear implants
Campaigning for deaf children I have a confession to make. Having blogged about it last week, I've known what NICE will say in their report on cochlear implants for a full six days.

Do hearing children need to interpret for their parents?
Filipino Deaf from the Eyes of a Hearing Pers Awhile back, I commented on a blog of a CODA (Child of a Deaf Adult) regarding her topic on NOT wanting to interpret for her deaf parents.

Something NICE comes this way…
Campaigning for deaf children No, sadly, it's not a box of chocolate digestives but a report into cochlear implants from the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (or NICE - hence the appalling pun in the title). NICE is a Government body which decides what treatments the NHS can provide in England and Wales. And cochlear implants are devices implanted [...]
