How to be deaf Part 3: Embracing deafness

Sometimes it seems like deafness is the last frontier in inclusivity. People who embrace diversity and all expressions of humanity still expect deaf and hard of hearing people to want to appear hearing. My experience: kohne.substack.com/p/how-to-be-... #deaf #hardofhearing #disability #ableism

Okay as someone that is from the hard of hearing community, I find the AI generated captions that are being used in short form videos the most obnoxious things in the world
There’s often the wrong word used, or numbers not being written correctly, and what’s up with the emojis?

So, uber allows both drivers and riders to indicate “hard of hearing” on their profiles and accounts, but lyft only provides this option for drivers, not riders. This is completely unacceptable and explains a lot for me as a hard of hearing rider. Lyft needs to fix this!

How to be deaf Part 1: Ordinary evil at the DMV

In my paid post today I share about hearing aids and lipreading and growing up oral only. There is a bit of a free preview. In this series I discuss the "hearing impaired" identity I grew up under and embrace a deaf, hoh identity. kohne.substack.com/p/how-to-be-... #hardofhearing #deaf #disability

Please take a look at this fantastic upcoming break for deaf, deafblind and hard of hearing women!

I wish streaming services like #Netflix added #SignLanguage interpretation as an option alongside subtitles. At least in a few sign languages, to start with. #Deaf #HardOfHearing #Languages

Hearing and understanding are not the same - The Mind Hears Hearing that sound is happening is not the same as processing sound.

We recommend this article from The Mind Hears, which gives a little more insight into the Deaf/HoH Experience: themindhears.org/2021/06/02/h...

An illustrated teacher is standing in front of a white board teaching maths to a Deaf student who is wearing a hearing aid. Test reads “Teachers, to support children with hearing loss seat the child at the front of the class, ensure there is proper lighting, face the child when speaking, encourage peer support. Support hearing, support learning.”

Without the right support in place, many children with hearing loss struggle to keep up in #education and miss out on equal learning opportunities.

Glad I made time to add a #HardOfHearing mode. One of the clues is a quiet knocking behind the doors. This would have been an #accessibility problem for a lot of people. So I added a toggle that replaces the knocking with a visual effect. :)

Most of us are already good lipreaders but if we aren't using the strategies, lipreading isn't going to be as helpful.
