Hospital Waiting Lists (ENT Services)

Ireland’s hospital waiting lists for routine procedures often feature in national news reports. Otolaryngology (ENT) wait-times were the third-longest of the publicly visible waiting lists at January 2016. Accordingly, Sound Advice was invited to present at an Open Health Data Night at the Science Gallery, Trinity College Dublin, on January 20th, 2016 in a panel

Speaking at the VdGM International Forum (Dublin)

A certain irony existed in being asked by Dr Peter Sloane, to join a panel at the Vasco da Gama Movement Forum in Dublin – after doctors in the 1970s had said I would never talk. Before this call to speak on the science of cochlear implants, the VdGM (Vasco da Gama Movement), the WONCA Europe Working Group for New

Who Wants To Switch An iPod For A Hearing-Aid?

It’s official – Ireland’s young people are risking their hearing by turning up the volume of iPods or personal radios, especially on public transport. The 82 per cent of 15 to 24 year-olds in Ireland who wear earphones regularly, have been warned that they may suffer premature hearing loss. The inconvenience of noise-induced hearing loss

Annals Of A Teenage Deaf Driver

Soon after learning to drive as a 17-year-old, I realised its value to my social life. After-school phone chats to friends weren’t an option, so the family car would be borrowed for evening visits. Near-misses while negotiating friends’ dark driveways were carefully logged  in my experience as episodes not to repeat. Parking outside new social

Parent Question: Independence for a Deaf Child

A few parents have asked how their deaf child can be  more independent. In fact, deaf children can be educators here! These ideas will get you started. Young children: * Let them do things for themselves and don’t spoon-feed them * Arrange play-dates with local children and/or go to a toddler group * Enroll in local

Stagetext Debuts In Dublin

Stagetext, a captioning service for theatre-goers, debuts to Irish audiences this month at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin. This service, which in 2008 will expand across Ireland, was devised in 2000 in the UK by three deaf theatre fans who were frustrated at missing out on the performing arts. Personally, I’m looking forward to seeing The

Digital Photos Help Special-Needs Children Learn

Digital photos have massive potential in developing the reading and writing skills of children with special needs. For deaf children specifically, new words can be taught by connecting the word to a digital picture. Phonetics challenge many special-needs children, but words can be better understood when connected to pictures. Journals, storybooks, newsletters, flash cards are

Deaf Children Are Educators, Too

Deaf children who can explain their communication needs to others from early on, will have an easier life. Parents need to give their child the self-confidence to do this, maybe through practice or role-play. Once the child knows to tell people how they hear and communicate when they first meet (you can do this together),

Inclusive Education Teaches Many Things

Research constantly shows children educated in an inclusive environment from the outset, to be more accepting of differences. Deaf children benefit from inclusion, even when play is still the main mode of social interaction. At my mainstream preschool, I remember linking hands tightly in solidarity with one or two particular hearing classmates (still friends today,

Language Options For Deaf Children

Deafness isn’t the tragedy that it was, at one time. With sustained early intervention and hearing-devices from birth to age three, a baby or child who is deaf achieves a good quality of life with their own personal milestones. However, if deafness is diagnosed at a late stage (after the child is 2.5 years of

The Gift of Speech

Speech is a priceless gift. Especially when it has to be acquired through intensive speech therapy, language lessons and hours of pronunciation practice. Babies with a hearing impairment aren’t able to absorb and replicate the speech heard in their environment, as their hearing peers do. Help is needed, but the huge effort is rewarded with
