Hi Ruth:

Thank you for posting this. A friend sent me this article in the mail and I got it yesterday. It’s a great one. First of all this woman is BRILLIANT: “I didn't care that much until I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine with a degree in medical genetics. In addition to being deaf, at 13 years old I was much younger than my fellow students and I felt isolated. I did not feel like a complete person.”

Rehabilitation for CI surgery for those born profoundly deaf is such a long-term commitment. Their brain has no history of sound to build on! Most of us who were born with good hearing and went deaf just have no idea of all the work involved. This article helps explain some of those issue.

I highly recommend reading it. Thanks! Alicia

Somebody gave me a newspaper story about her today. It's in the Daily News and was published 11/26/09. Dr. Luxford at HEI is mentioned, and there's several interesting sidebar articles about CIs as well.  For those who might want to see an actual newspaper, it's on page L1 in the Health L.A. Life section. I can bring it to the holiday party for those who want to read it in entirety.

Greetings to all on this post Thanksgiving weekend:

I was recently contacted by Han Li, a student in the UCLA Business School,
about a project she and some other students are working on. Someone has
invented some eyeglasses to wear in a movie theatre that allows the person
to see captioning (similar to the concept of 3-D glasses); people who don't
wear the glasses don't see the captioning. The students want to conduct some
focus groups with deaf and hard-of-hearing people to get an idea of what
they think of this new technology.



Date: Thursday, December 3, 2009

Place:  No Limits Theatre Group for Hearing Impaired Kids

Time:   Either 10 am to 12noon or 4pm to 6pm

We need approximately 10-15 DHH people for the focus group.  Whichever time
period draws the most interest will be the one we go with.  So everyone who
contact us, we should have their name, email and tel\pager info.

Thanking you in advance for helping out with this project.

From Ms. Han Li:

I am writing to present an exciting opportunity to participate in our focus
group. We are graduate students at the UCLA business school working on a
technology that provides a new and innovative way to display captioning in
movie theaters, which we believe will create an enhanced movie-going
experience for diverse audiences.

The purpose of the focus group is to experience the technology and give us
feedback. The focus group will include a brief presentation, a survey and a
Q&A session and last approximately 2 hours. Light refreshments will be
provided and randomly selected participants will receive a prize at the end.

We would greatly appreciate your help and participation in our focus group.
Please contact me at (510) 326-6316 or via email at

Dear HLAA Chapter coordinators,

 

My name is Julie Verhoff and I am a research audiologist in the Communication Neuroscience laboratory at the House Ear Institute. I was wondering if you would be willing to pass along our information to your members.

 

We are searching for adult cochlear implant users between the ages of 18 and 55 who were either born deaf or lost their hearing before the age of four. We would like to invite these individuals to participate in a research study that is investigating whether short-term word training can improve speech recognition performance. Attached is a flyer with a brief description of the individuals that we are searching for to participate in our training experiment.

 

Participants will be asked to complete a few screening tests (e.g., vision, hearing, lipreading, vocabulary, handedness, and non-verbal ability) prior to the first training session. Participation in this experiment requires approximately five hours and is divided between two separate days. The screening tests and training sessions are administered at our facility in the House Ear Institute. Arrangements can be made to complete the screening and testing during the week, on the weekends, and in the evenings. Compensation for the study is $12 per hour and reimbursement for gas ($0.55 per mile) to and from your home address. The training involves watching a visual presentation on a video monitor, and/or listening to speech sounds while responding to the stimuli using a computer mouse.

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Best Regards,

 

Dr. Verhoff

Greetings,

 

I thought this was important to pass along.  Santa Monica had a police officer come speak to the group, but he learned more from us, than we did from him.  You can get a visor card (or create one of your own)…. Also a good thing for the Hearing Loss 101 Survival kit that we have all been talking about.

Those of you with law enforcement officers in your family should also pass this along.

November 11, 2009



Dear Leaders,

Thirty years ago this month the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) was founded to bring attention to hearing loss.

At that time many people were skeptical that people with hearing loss could organize, since we were dispersed among the general population, in all walks of life, different socio-economic situations, and little in common but our hearing loss. What we had in common were communication needs that were not understood or taken into consideration at the policy level or even at home in the family environment. We were alone seeking help in coping with the daily challenges of hearing loss.

Fast Forward to 2009 – HLAA’s 30th Anniversary

Have we proved the skeptics wrong who said that people with hearing loss could not organize to effect change? Yes, we have! HLAA has pushed for laws allowing people with hearing loss to fully participate in society, our successes now require:

* Landline and cell phone to be compatible with hearing aids and cochlear implants.
* Television programs are captioned,
* Theaters and other public places must install assistive listening systems, and
* Courtrooms and classrooms must be made accessible.

Our advocacy work has resulted in two major milestones:

* Establishment of the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIH), and
* Introduction of assistive listening devices to Americans during the 1981 White House Conference on Aging.

HLAA continues to influence policy for affordable products and services that make our world hearing and communication friendly. And daily, for 30 years, HLAA has helped real people with real problems.

The work of HLAA for 30 years has only been possible because YOU believe in the work we do and support us.

November is an important time for our organization. It is the time that we reflect on our past accomplishments and look forward to the future, and take pride in being the Hearing Loss Association of America. It is also the time when our Chapters from across the country celebrate Founders Day and assist in raising funds for the Chapter Development Office so that is can provide the ongoing support it provides to over 200 Chapters across the country and the new ones that form each month.

With your ongoing support the Chapter Development Office has been successfully able to:

* Launch a Wiki – a comprehensive HLAA website providing leadership support and information materials - http://www.hlaaleaderswiki.org,
* Reintroduce Chapter Development workshops at the HLAA Convention.
* Provided monthly web chats for Chapters.

In 2010 we plan to continue our efforts and:

* Hold a Leadership Training Workshop in Bethesda,
* Expand and improve Chapter/Leadership workshops at the Convention,
* Improve the accessibility of Chapter related monthly web chats.

Together we ask your Chapter to give a gift to HLAA to honor our past, but even more importantly, to ensure our future.

Please give whatever you can so that together we can be a part of a shining future for people with hearing loss. Help keep HLAA vibrant and keep proving the skeptics wrong who said 30 years ago that people with hearing loss can’t organize.

We can and together we are!

Sincerely,



Toni Barrient
Director of Chapter Development &  Member Services

Hi Dan,

 

We are conducting focus groups for Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals for the IRS to determine how the IRS could provide better assistance to this population.  We would love to get your help in reaching out to the Los Angeles area deaf and hard of hearing communities.  The focus groups are on Wednesday, November 18, 2009  in Santa Monica.

 

This is a great opportunity for people to provide their input and feedback to a major government agency.  If possible, please distribute the attached recruitment flyer as broadly as possible so many people become aware of this opportunity.  Feel free to email it, post it, hand out copies, or distribute in any manner that makes sense to you.

 

We would greatly appreciate your support with this project.  We may follow up with a phone call to see if you have any questions or comments for us, or please feel free to contact me.

 

Thank you!

-Julia

I realize what we have raised was small potatoes as compared to HLAA-LA. But, every penny helps.

The next time the walk event comes back to Long Beach, we'll be more prepared. We've never done walks or fundraising work before, and we'll be observing all that happens on Sunday.

See you all then.

Dan,

Only three people signed up.  I only collected $5 from a member of our chapter.  Ruth and I are bringing two of our good friends to the walk next Sunday.

I will send a notice to everyone again to remind them about the walk and we need donations.

Rick

Subject: Upcoming Long Beach Walk4Hearing
To: danr_smith@...
Date: Friday, October 23, 2009, 12:34 PM

Hello Everyone, HLAA is very excited about the upcoming Long Beach Walk4Hearing on Sunday, November 8th at Long Beach Marina. This is the last Walk4Hearing for 2009, but certainly not the least. We know that November 8th, will be a terrific day, enjoyed by everyone including individuals with hearing loss, families, friends, co workers and caring professionals. Now go check www.walk4hearing.org. As of right now, you have $13,272 which is great. Let's aim to hit the $15,000 mark really soon. How can you do that? By sending out blast emails and doing a personal letter writing campaign to family and friends to sponsor you. The more you let people about about your walking and raising money for an important cause, the more you're raising awareness about people with hearing loss. As of today, we have 19 teams registered. If you know anyone that plans to have a team, please encourage him or her to go online and form a team and fundraise for this very important cause. It is important to keep in mind, the more teams we have, the more people we have. The more people we have, the more money we raise and the more awareness about hearing loss we create. Now go check out the teams that have raised the most money so far: Los Angeles Stars  $4,283 Hear YA Now  $1,741 Valley Sunshine  $1,208 This is just terrific and keep up the great work. In additon to top teams, we have top walkers that should be recognized: Nanci Link-Ellis  $1,475 Bernie Marks (actually is on 2 teams)  $1,000 Wendi Washington   $775 Sherry Shuster $658 Keep up the great work!

Good Day to all of my SoCA leaders….

 

Today is October 20^th which means the Walk4Hearing clock is winding down – we are 19 days away from the Long Beach Marina event!  In the meantime, while everyone has been getting excited and building momentum, several of our SoCA members have been garnering some press and getting the word about hearing loss out there:

 

The Long Beach Grunion Gazette did a feature story on Gail Morrison of the HLA Long Beach/Lakewood Chapter that came out last Thursday.  You may view it at www.gazettes.com.  Scroll down on the first page to "Belmont Shore Resident Deals with Hearing Loss" and there she is – terrific!

 

HLA-LA Chapter member Dana Sunderland was the subject of another article on hearing loss written by her very talented son, Ryan ZumMallen  who is the managing editor of the Long Beach Post complete with our footprint logo next to the article. Oct 13^th edition   http://www.lbpost.com/ryan/6886

 

And last, but certainly not least, our own Rhianon Guitterez of the Orange County Chapter added another award to her repertoire by winning Best Documentary Short for her film, “When I’m Not Alone” at the Austin Gay & Lesbian International Film Festival.  You can check it out by going to her website http://www.rhianongfilms.com/When_Im_Not_Alone/HOME.html -

There will be a local screening in LA at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood as part of the Artivist Film Festival December 1 – 5.   I will make sure that Rhi gets the info out to us.

 

Congratulations to all!   Have some news, awards or events that you’d like everyone to know about?  Just shoot me an email.  I am off to Hawaii tomorrow and back on Monday.  Of course, computer, cell and text (Linkeellis@... ) will all be fired up and working.  Gotta love technology!

 

Keep those dollars coming.  So far, I’m in the lead for the LA Stars fundraising…J so someone has to beat me. 

 

Have a great day!
