“What tends to take a back seat, however, is the #Deafness —or as I prefer to call it, my #hearing challenges. If you wear #HearingAids and speak without a so-called “ #Deaf #accent,” people often forget you have any challenges at all.”: buff.ly/ZTByCvK

I really loved all her main three from #PenPals due to their representation of disabilities such as #Deafness!

Being Deaf: High-Frequency Hearing Loss & Me In this personal post, I write about being deaf, my high-frequency hearing loss & my deafness experiences in the UK. Plus, my shiny new hearing aids!

Update about my deafness, and it isn't good news.

I added my thoughts plus my recent audiogram to the top of my high frequency hearing loss piece from 2024, after my updated hearing test last weekend.

Fade In | Poem Hearing aids turned on, audio holds… / then sounds march through the moulds.

Here's a poem from me.

"Fade In"

"Hearing aids turned on, audio holds / then sounds march through the moulds."

#Poem #Poetry #PoetsOnBluesky #WritingCommunity #Deafness

I lower the cotton quilt, roll over and reach out with bony fingers; chewed nail tipped, that clasp you, and lift you, and place you into the palms of my cupped hand. In the dark on the memory foam mattress I run tired fingers along your curved frame. The imagined click from your thumb pressed switch, then I pinch at your mould shaped to fit me. Bringing you to my face, brushing past the cheek I insert you in with a twist and push as you breathe into me; the faintest beep, to fill me with the sounds of the day.

Here's a new poem

"I run tired fingers along your curved frame.
The imagined click from your thumb pressed switch,
then I pinch at your mould shaped to fit me."

The gene therapy poised to rewrite childhood deafness Four decades have passed since cochlear implants gave infants born deaf the ability to hear. Now, as Medscape recently reported, gene therapy promises to restore natural hearing for those born with a rare form of deafness, and the discovery could lead to similar treatments for more common types of hearing loss.

Gene therapy targeting the OTOF mutation shows promise in restoring natural hearing in children born deaf, with early clinical data suggesting better outcomes in speech detection and music perception. Source: #UniversityOfCincinnati
