literally begging yall this disability pride month to remember the phys. disabled deaf people. draw them with transcription computers, draw them wearing colorful CIs and HAs, draw them using FM systems, i've never seen anyone draw them and i'd love to see representation of that. i cannot count the number of times i've been excited to see disability art only to see them all using mobility aids and feel disappointed afterwards because fuck knows when the last time you saw your disability aids.

this disability pride month include Deaf/HOH people that don't solely use sign language, who wear colorful disability aids, who use things that only their own community seems to know about

(if anyone has art of those things i mentioned i wanted seen tag me pleaseeeee)

Hello!

I am a hearing author but my dad is D/deaf and has a cochlear implant, I am currently writing a deaf character and wanted to give them a CI to pay tribute to him because he is what inspired me to write a deaf character in the first place. But after doing some research on how to write the character I learned that CIs are disliked by the Deaf community for a number of reasons. Should I change the characters aid to something else to avoid any faux pas?

Hello,

this is generally not a writing advice blog, I recommend reaching out to @cripplecharacters .

Overall, CIs are controversial in Deaf community. That's not to say you should always avoid writing them, its just that its important to do research and think if its suitable for the character in question.

I know Deaf people who absolutely hate CIs and would never get them and shun people who have them. I know Deaf people who don't want them for themselves, but are okay with others who have them. I know Deaf people who don't want them but made a decision to give them to their Deaf kids. And I know Deaf people who decided to get them in adulthood.

Also, there is a big number of people who got their CI when they were kids (usually bcs their parents were hearing) and lived with them their whole life.

I would say hatred of CIs was more prevalent in the past. Nowadays, most Deaf people I know are ambivalent or positive about them.

The issue really isn't the medical devices themselves, its more the attitude of hearing and medical community surrounding them. Cochlear implants are often seen as magical cure to deafness - which they are not. Another issue is that lot of medical professional and experts discourage usage of sign language for cochlear implant users, which sucks. (And based on linguistic research, its actually wrong - research show that kids being bilingual in spoken and sign language is beneficial for them).

If your dad has a CI and you are basing your character on him, I see no issue in your character having CI. I would say its actually better option in this case. Why not chat with your dad about how he feels about the device and how would he like to see deafness portrayed in writing?

Good luck and sorry for later response,

Mod T

What are the five signs of hearing loss?

If a person’s hearing abilities fall below those of someone with normal hearing, defined as having hearing thresholds of 20 dB or higher in both ears, they are said to have hearing loss. This condition may affect one or both ears and can be categorized as mild, moderate, moderately severe, severe, or profound.

The nerve cells or tiny hairs in the cochlea that transmit sound impulses to the brain may deteriorate with age and exposure to loud noise. Hearing loss results from the ineffective transmission of electrical impulses when delicate nerve endings are damaged.

What are the five signs of hearing loss and when do you need to see an audiologist?

Tinnitus

Did you know that one in five people with hearing loss has tinnitus? Also known as ringing in the ears, this condition occurs when a person is subjected to extraordinarily loud noises (i.e gunshots, explosions).

Even though many people might not even be aware they have both diseases, almost 90% of those with tinnitus also suffer hearing loss. Tinnitus typically mimics your loss’s rhythm. Your tinnitus may sound like a high-pitched ringing or buzzing if you have problems hearing high frequencies.

Tinnitus may be an early sign of hearing loss or some other underlying medical disease, so if you experience any weird hearing symptoms, seek medical attention from an audiologist.

Distorted Hearing

Hearing may eventually go better on its own if the cause of the muffled sound is anything as simple as congestion brought on by a cold or hay fever. However, hearing loss or more severe disorders like head trauma or tumor can occasionally cause muffled hearing.

A common cause of hearing loss is having too much ear wax (cerumen). Sometimes ear wax buildup in the ear canal results in a blockage. Over time, this ear wax may harden and dry up, increasing the possibility of impaction. Your hearing may suffer from impacted ear wax.

Listening Fatigue

When your brain has to focus in order to separate sounds from ambient noise before processing and converting them into useful information, listening fatigue sets in. People who appear “weary of listening” are frequently mistaken for being rude, apathetic, or uncaring.

The brain becomes stressed and eventually exhausted when hearing loss is prevalent because the brain must compensate for the impairment and work harder than usual to process information.

Struggling to hear even in mild to moderate background noise

Talking with others may be more difficult if you have hearing loss. It’s likely that your ears have problems blocking out external sounds if you have trouble hearing discussions when there is background noise. The first sign of moderate hearing loss or an auditory processing issue is usually linked to difficulty hearing, even with light background noise (APD).

Diminished interest in social engagements

Hearing loss is a major contributor to social isolation in humans. When hearing becomes difficult, people frequently choose to disengage and isolate themselves rather than participate in social, professional, or business settings where interaction is essential. If left untreated, hearing loss can result in psychological and social problems that have an impact on one’s emotions and society.

Losing your hearing can make it difficult for you to enjoy and take part in many of life’s most treasured moments, such as hearing the voice or laughter of a loved one, having meaningful conversations with family and friends, appreciating the sounds of nature, or watching your favorite TV shows or sporting events.

Get your hearing tested

If you suspect that you or a loved one is exhibiting early signs of hearing loss, make sure to schedule an appointment with an audiologist to get your hearing tested. Hearing Health Clinic offers comprehensive hearing tests in Osseo, MN and nearby communities.
