The I can’t hear you blog is intended to provide a site where information that I believe is relevant to the deaf can be accessed and discussed. Additionally, the Blog servers as a linked “full article" site for my Twitter account.
Generally, but not exclusively, the content will be applicable to those people who have become moderately to severely/profoundly deaf; deafened post-lingual. Broadly, the content will include topical news items, issues affecting the deaf, assistive hearing devices (AHD), information-communication technologies (ICT) and combinations of these topics.
Medical and Audiological Assessment Excluded
At the outset, it must be stressed that nothing contained in this blog is intended to replace medical and audiological assessment for deafness. For this reason, articles/comments about the applicability of hearing aids or cochlear implants are not included. However, some of the features, accessories, and adaptability that hearing aids and implants have may fall within the nominated discussion criteria.
Deaf People Opinions are Important
While medical and audiologist have their role, many deaf people have invaluable experience in using AHD and ICT to improve their hearing in specific situations. Deaf people face challenging situations and often adopt their own effective ways to help them hear; their opinion on what will work and what won’t is important.
How the site works
The site uses Google’s Blogger application and an amended version of the Shortnotes template. For more information about the “I can’t hear you” blog’s features, navigation, postings and other queries you may have, see the Frequently Asked Questions page.
