Cochlear Controversy Dramatized In ‘Sound’
Deaf News: The world-premiere play “Sound” explores the controversy over cochlear implants for the Deaf.
To hear? To speak? To sign? Those are the questions.
Deaf children in America are eligible for a procedure that can significantly expand their ability to hear. It is a cochlear implant, and rather than amplify sounds like hearing aids do, it works by directly stimulating the auditory nerve in the brain.
By 2012, about 96,000 adults and children in the U.S. alone had undergone the procedure.
Yet while many have hailed it as a breakthrough that not only can turn up the volume but also help Deaf children develop speech, not everyone is cheering.
“There are a lot of emotional feelings about CIs (cochlear implants) in the Deaf community,” explained Howie Seago, a Deaf Tacoma-bred theater artist and co-director of the new play “Sound,” which debuts this week at ACT Theatre.
“Many Deaf people feel that the doctors and other ‘professionals’ in the field of deafness consider us ‘defective’ and need to be fixed,” Seago commented by email.
“They stress this ad nauseam to the parents and do not fully educate them as to the range of communications options available. They almost always leave out the benefits of using sign language with their Deaf child.”
The conflict over whether children in particular need the device intrigued Seago’s co-director, Desdemona Chiang, when she read an early draft of hearing playwright Don Nguyen’s drama, “Sound.” It portrays the heated dispute between a Deaf father and his non-Deaf ex-wife over whether to try to restore their daughter’s hearing with CIs...

Deaf Mice Cured With Gene Therapy
WATCH: Deaf News: The end of cochlear implants? New gene therapy restores hearing in mice.
BOSTON -- In a laboratory at Boston Children's Hospital a cure for genetic deafness is taking shape. Lead researcher Jeff Holt says that if all goes as planned, children of the future who lose their ability to hear due to genetic mutation will never go DEAF.
Holt and his fellow researchers are attacking the problem at its source. They are using engineered viruses to repair damaged genes that make up parts of the inner ear.
"Our strategy was to take a viral vector, remove the viral genes so that it doesn't make anyone sick and to replace those with the correct DNA sequence for TMC1," said Holt, an associate professor of Otolaryngology.
TMC1 is a gene critical to hearing. It is responsible for encoding proteins that convert sound into electrical signals the brain can process.
To test their treatment protocol, Holt and his team used two types of Deaf mice that model the dominant and recessive genetic mutations of TMC1 in humans. The team used an engineered virus called adeno-associated virus, or AAV1, to deliver the functioning TMC1 gene to the inner ears of the Deaf mice models...

Deaf Boy With A 'Bionic Ear'
WATCH: Deaf News: 'Bionic ear' Deaf boy hear his family for the first.
In many ways, Caiden Moran is an average five-year-old boy. Running around his front yard, climbing trees and playing with his brother, the only difference you might notice is the small device on the side of his head.
"Caiden was born, and before we left the hospital we did the newborn hearing screening. And he had failed, so we came back a week later, did the test again, failed again," said his mother Danielle Moran.
Caiden was born profoundly Deaf, with no cochleas an inner part of the ear that converts sound to nerve impulses and sends them to the brain. At the time doctors confirmed baby Caiden was deaf his father Tommy a member of the U.S. Navy had been deployed to Hawaii.
"I was sad," he said. "I didn't know anybody who was Deaf, I didn't know sign language, I didn't know how to be a good dad and raise a Deaf child."
Because Caiden had no cochleas, a cochlear implant would be of no help. Instead, his parents learned sign language, assuming it would be the only way their son could ever communicate. Then, by chance, Danielle heard about a potential solution an auditory brainstem implant (ABI).
An ABI consists of a microphone and transmitter on the head, which convert sounds from the outside world into electrical signals. Those signals are transmitted to an internal receiver made up of electrodes, implanted on the brainstem. The auditory neurons are stimulated directly in the brain, bypassing the inner ear completely... Read The Full Story.

Deaf Girl's Dad Gets Cochlear Implant Tattoo
Father's tattoo tribute to six-year-old daughter who has two cochlear implant to combat her profound deafness goes viral.
AUCKLAND, New Zealand -- A father has tattooed an image of a cochlear implant on to his head in support of his daughter who has two of the devices fitted to combat her profound Deaf.
Alistair Campbell, from New Zealand, got the artwork done to show six-year-old daughter Charlotte that he supports her as she struggles with a condition that means she has profound hearing loss.
Charlotte had her first cochlear implant fitted aged just four on the left side of her head, and was due to have another fitted this week when Mr Campbell decided to get the tattoo done.
An image of him sitting next to his daughter with his inking and her implant visible has since gone viral online, where it has been shared tens of thousands of times.
Speaking to the New Zealand Herald, Mr Campbell said he got the tattoo 'out of love' for his daughter, and to show her he could take a bit of pain on her behalf.
He told the paper that he has no other tattoos, and will now let his hair grow back to cover this one... Read The Full Story.

Deaf Inmate Gets Prison Death Threat
The mother of a Deaf inmate in the New York State prison system says her son has been abused, including death threats.
BUFFALO, NY -- Twenty year old Joey Crapsi was born Deaf and is also developmentally disabled. While at the Wende Correctional Facility in Alden, an inmate demanded that his family pay him thousands of dollars to make sure Joey wouldn’t be killed.
“Please don’t go to the police, or I will be in very serious problems,” said the inmate in one of two letters read by Crapsi’s mother, Cindy McKillen. He wrote that if the police were notified Joey would be dead. Another letter threatened harm to Joey’s family as well.
Joey Crapsi was convicted of inappropriately touching his five year old cousin. He was sentenced from one to three years in prison after he violated his parole.
Joey’s advocate, Angela Boyle, says he has tested to the level of a six to a nine year old. She has been working to improve his treatment behind bars. “It needs to go to the media because it’s a big problem,” she says.
When he started serving his sentence at the Fishkill Correctional Facility, Joey told his mother that a corrections officer had slapped him in the head, breaking his cochlear implant, which allows him to hear.
The family says he was without the device for six months and couldn’t communicate or express himself properly. He also began acting out and getting written-up as a discipline problem... Read The Full Story.

Implants, Signing Let Deaf Kids Be Bilingual
Deaf News: Implants, signing let Deaf kids be bilingual: Research experts.
Parents of Deaf children face a critical responsibility to learn and use sign language, according to a majority of hearing experts quoted in the journal Pediatrics, although the question of whether or not to sign has grown increasingly controversial.
Ten thousand infants are born yearly in the U.S. with sensorineural deafness, and data suggest that half receive cochlear implants, small devices that help provide a sense of sound to profoundly Deaf individuals.
While some specialists advise that all Deaf children, with or without cochlear implants, learn sign language, others fear that learning sign language will interfere with the demanding rehabilitation needed to maximize the cochlear device. Still others worry that asking parents to learn a new language quickly is too burdensome.
In an “Ethics Rounds” feature in Pediatrics, nine experts from hearing and language-associated fields share their perspectives and conclude, “The benefits of learning sign language clearly outweigh the risks. For parents and families who are willing and able, this approach seems clearly preferable to an approach that focuses solely on oral communication," in which the child would depend only on the cochlear device or other auditory-verbal approaches.
John Lantos, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, writes in the journal, “The more languages they learn, the better these children will be able to communicate.”
Lantos told Reuters Health that too many children who receive cochlear implants fail to achieve full functionality in the hearing world. “If the idea is to give kids the most potential to communicate in the most ways that they can, it seems like learning both is the best approach.”
Linguist Donna Jo Napoli contributed one of the most urgent arguments for full adoption of sign language. “Children should be surrounded by sign language as much as possible as soon as the audiological status is determined," she told Reuters Health. "If the child gets a cochlear implant and does well with it, fantastic. Then the child is bi-lingual...Read The Full Story.

Deaf Lifestyle - Oralism Versus Manualism
Isolating Deaf youngsters from the Deaf community might not be in their best interests in the United Kingdom.
States of the art hearing aids and cochlear implants might not translate to mainstream achievements.
Born into a hearing family and brought up in mainstream education, neither my parents or the teachers for the deaf, had any knowledge of the local Deaf community. In fact, in the same way that my ‘teacher for the deaf’ discouraged me from learning sign language, in many respects I was also advised not to have anything to do with the Deaf community.
Being strong willed and recognising that I was different to other children in the school (lots of them made sure I knew that), I went on to make my own mind up about what was best for me, my decisions differing markedly from what the ‘teacher of the deaf’ and social worker for the deaf, had suggested was in my best interest. Right or wrong, they were my decisions, and my life has been enriched by being involved in a wide range of Deaf community groups and activities ever since.
Because of my links to and involvement in the Deaf community, I have developed my own identity in life, I have friends who understand the issues I face every day, who support me, and I have people who share the passion I have for reaching a stage when society concentrates on what we can do, rather than the simple fact we cannot hear and might not be able to talk.
Being a part of the Deaf community, I learned all about Deaf sport and Deaf activities, and getting involved has meant that I have travelled all over the United Kingdom and internationally to take part in sport. Through these travels I have learned about Deaf life in other countries and had the chance to meet people who greet me as a long lost friend when we meet up again.
It’s not all chocolates and roses of course, as people face a wide range of issues and Deaf Club or a Deaf social event is a good place to seek help and advice about how to tackle that. Overwhelmingly though, having a Deaf identity and being a part of a Deaf community has been a huge positive in my life, adding great value, and helping me make sense of many of the problems and barriers I experience in my life. I knew and still know today, that those problems and barriers are not personal attacks on me... Read The Full Story.

Deaf People Hears For The First Time Compilation
Deaf babies and Deaf people hears sound for the first time compilation all in one place.
The Internet is peppered with countless emotional and powerful videos of someone who does, then few past weeks ago, you probably watched the wildly popular the videos of "Hears For The First Time" in these days, Deaf and Hard of Hearing people who, after receiving hearing implantations, was able to hear.
Cochlear/Hearing Implantations may help provide hearing in patients who are Deaf because of damage to sensory hair cells in their cochleas. In those patients, the implants often can enable sufficient hearing for better understanding of speech. The quality of sound is different from natural hearing, with less sound information being received and processed by the brain.
Not only are we touched by this, but we are inspired beyond measure by the life-changing advances in technology. Enjoy to watch the compilation of reactions at the precise moment a lab technician turns on the implant devices.

LOS ANGELES, California -- At age 3, Angelica Lopez is helping to break a sound barrier for Deaf children.
Born without working auditory nerves, she can detect sounds for the first time and start to mimic them after undergoing brain surgery to implant a device that bypasses missing wiring in her inner ears.
Angelica is one of a small number of U.S. children who are testing what's called an auditory brainstem implant, or ABI. The device goes beyond cochlear implants that have brought hearing to many Deaf children but that don't work for tots who lack their hearing nerve.
When the ABI is first turned on, "she isn't going to be hearing like a 3-year-old. She'll be hearing like a newborn," audiologist Laurie Eisenberg of the University of Southern California tells parents. She outlined the research Friday at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
The children don't magically understand and use those sounds. "It's going to take a lot of work," Eisenberg cautioned.
Angelica cried when her ABI first was switched on, scared by the sounds. But five months later, her mother says the youngster uses sign language to identify some sounds that was a cough, that's a dog barking. And she's beginning to babble like hearing babies do, as therapists work to teach her oral speech.
"It's just so awesome to hear her little voice," said Julie Lopez of Big Spring, Texas, who enrolled her daughter in the study at USC, where researchers say she's progressing well.
Many children born Deaf benefit from cochlear implants, electrodes that send impulses to the auditory nerve, where they're relayed to the brain and recognized as sound. But the small fraction born without a working hearing nerve can't make that brain connection.
The ABI attempts to fill that gap by delivering electrical stimulation directly to the neurons on the brainstem the nerve normally would have targeted. Here's how it works: The person wears a microphone on the ear to detect sound, and a processer changes it to electrical signals. Those are beamed to a stimulator under the skin, which sends the signals snaking through a wire to electrodes surgically placed on the brainstem... Read The Full Story.

Deaf Teenage Girl Now Hears With Her Brain
Special technology, 14-year-old Maggie Gleason can now hear. But the really remarkable thing is that she's hearing with her brain, not her ears.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Maggie Gleason, 14, who was born Deaf, heard sound for the first time in her life when hearing specialists at University Hospitals (UH) Case Medical Center turned on an innovative electronic device called an auditory brainstem implant (ABI). The implantable device provides a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly Deaf.
Maggie was born without cochleas, the small snail-shaped bones in her inner ears which house the auditory (hearing) nerve. As a result of her condition, she had no auditory nerve. Maggie had to wait for a technology like ABI to advance to a stage where it could help her. ABI bypasses the ear and stimulates the brain stem.
According to one of her surgeons, Maroun Semaan, MD, of UH Case Medical Center, Maggie may be the first teen with this device for absent cochleas.
"For someone who has never heard, the perception and awareness of sound is extremely helpful," said Dr. Semaan, Director, Otology, Neurotology, and Balance Disorders at UH Case Medical Center and Associate Professor, Otolaryngology, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine.
ABI is a prosthetic hearing device that stimulates neurons directly at the human brainstem, bypassing the inner ear and hearing nerve entirely, which in Maggie's case, did not even exist. The device consists of a tiny radio receiver implanted underneath the skin and tiny platinum electrodes implanted into the brain stem...

Deaf Baby Hears His Mom For The First Time
Deaf toddler can’t stop giggling when he hears his mother's voice for the first time.
HUNTINGTON, California -- Toddler Ryan Aprea, two, was born at just 25 weeks and suffers from impaired sight and hearing. He had a cochlear implant fitted into his ear in November which is allowing him to hear sounds for the first time and the youngster couldn't stop laughing every time he heard his mother Jennifer speak.
As his mom Jennifer told Storyful, baby Ryan was born three months prematurely and spent his first seven months of life in hospital. Around the time he was due to come home, he was diagnosed as being profoundly Deaf. An ideal candidate for a cochlear implant, his parents didn’t delay in taking action to increase his chances of being able to communicate with them. His giggle upon hearing his mother’s voice for the first time.
The moment when a young boy with severe hearing difficulties heard his mother's voice for the very first time has been captured in a heartwarming video clip, which shows the youngster dissolving into a fit of giggles every time she speaks.
Entrepreneur Jennifer Colson Aprea, from Huntington Beach, California, posted the clip of her two-year-old son Ryan on her company's Facebook page on Monday, revealing that her son had successfully been fitted with a cochlear implant which is enabling him to hear sounds for the first time in his life.
'We're heading home and it's all good news after the mapping and activation,' the mother-of-two, who founded cloth diaper brand Spray Pal, wrote.
'His brain is definitely receiving sound. The audiologist programmed the device at three different levels and we will gradually increase them throughout the week...

Dog Saves Deaf Boy From Fire
A 2-year-old pit bull named Ace is being called a hero after waking his Deaf owner, a 13-year-old boy, during a devastating house fire.
INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana -- A 2-year-old male pit bull named Ace was being hailed as a hero Wednesday, after waking his Deaf teenage owner during a devastating house fire. The teen's cochlear implants were turned off, so the dog licked his face to wake him up.
At 1:11 p.m., Indianapolis firefighters were called to fight a fire at a home on the city's south side, officials said. Upon their arrival, flames were shooting from the garage.
Officials said Nick Lamb, 13, who is Deaf, was sleeping in the house at the time. Ace was able to alert Nick and awaken him by licking his face. "He was thankful that Ace entered his room and licked his face until he woke up," Indianapolis Fire Department Capt. Rita Reith said in a news release. "The boy quickly covered his nose and mouth with his T-shirt and exited the rear of the house."
Lamb said he was taught at school about covering his face and finding the nearest exit. Without his shoes but with Ace by his side, he darted out of the back door before calling his mother and 911. "I couldn't hear anything because I had my cochlear implants off - My dog Ace smelled it," Lamb said. "I just wanted to get out."
The fire-blackened home had $175,000 in damage. But Ace and Lamb made it out safely. No one else was home when the fire started.
Lindsay Bernard, Lamb's mother, says she rushed home from work after getting the call. Her mind was racing throughout the trip. "I went into a little bit of a panic," she said. "When I got here - the streets were covered. It was mainly just panic and chaos."... Read The Full Story.

Cochlear Implant Industry - 4000 Devices Affected
Cochlear Implant industry: 4000 devices affected around the world.
Signed Version: On the surface, cochlear implants sound like a promising medical solution to the problems surrounding hearing loss or total hearing loss. A cochlear implant uses existing nerves and electronic signals to override damaged auditory nerves, thus restoring a sense of hearing to the recipient.
However, this technology has also caused serious divisions within the Deaf community concerning the hearing society's position on deafness in general. Cochlear implants are considered disrespectful and insulting, since the medical community views deafness as a handicap which must be treated or corrected.

Deaf Granny Hears For The First Time
Deaf granny hears granddaughter laugh for the first time after cochlear implant is turned on.
The Pennsylvania woman has had hearing problems since childhood, and went completely deaf around five years ago. This is the tender moment a granny heard her baby granddaughter laugh for the very first time after doctors turned on her cochlear implant. Sarah Campbell, 57, had suffered hearing problems since childhood and went completely Deaf around five years ago.
But, as the “Today” show cameras rolled on Tuesday morning, the nation watched as she heard the her tiny 1-year-old relative giggle with excitement. "I'm hearing her! Woo! Baby! She was laughing, I think," she told audiologist Michelle Montes as host Matt Lauer stood by.
The Norristown, Pennsylvania, native struggled to work and interact with people and constantly needed new and updated hearing aids.
Doctors at the University of Pennsylvania inserted the implant a receiver and stimulator placed on her inner ear bones to act as a microphone three weeks ago... Read The Full Story.

The Pennsylvania woman has had hearing problems since childhood, and went completely deaf around five years ago. This is the tender moment a granny heard her baby granddaughter laugh for the very first time after doctors turned on her cochlear implant. Sarah Campbell, 57, had suffered hearing problems since childhood and went completely Deaf around five years ago.
But, as the “Today” show cameras rolled on Tuesday morning, the nation watched as she heard the her tiny 1-year-old relative giggle with excitement. "I'm hearing her! Woo! Baby! She was laughing, I think," she told audiologist Michelle Montes as host Matt Lauer stood by.
The Norristown, Pennsylvania, native struggled to work and interact with people and constantly needed new and updated hearing aids.
Doctors at the University of Pennsylvania inserted the implant a receiver and stimulator placed on her inner ear bones to act as a microphone three weeks ago... Read The Full Story.

No More Sign Language For Deaf Children With Implants?
No more sign language for the Dutch Deaf children with implants.
LEIDEN, Nederlands -- The language development of children with a cochlear implant who only learn spoken language is faster than that of children with a cochlear implant who are also learning sign language. This is what Leiden researcher Karin Wiefferink concludes in her dissertation.
Monolingual environment may be better for development of spoken language: Wiefferink compared the language development of Flemish children with a cochlear implant (CI) with that of Dutch children who also had a cochlear implant, but who grew up in a bilingual environment in which they were learning both spoken language and sign language.
The study shows that the spoken language development of the Flemish children was faster than that of the Dutch children. What was remarkable was that the sign language of the Dutch children barely showed any signs of development once they had a cochlear implant. In addition, after a while, the Dutch children developed a preference for spoken language. These results suggest that a monolingual environment is better for language development than a bilingual environment.
Socio-emotional development: A second study from the dissertation shows that the socio-emotional development of children with a CI is slower than that of hearing children. A notable finding was that the linguistic development only played a minor role in this context. One possible explanation is that CI children are less aware of what is happening in their direct environment, because they find it difficult to follow conversations in a noisy environment. Wiefferink: ‘Access to the social environment therefore seems to play an important role in socio-emotional development.’... Read The Full Story.

Deaf Toddler Hears Voices For The First Time
Deaf toddler hears parents' voices for the first time goes viral.
BRAZOS VALLEY, Texas -- A Deaf toddler from Brenham heard his parents' voices for the first time Friday thanks to a cochlear implant Surgery he received at the College Station Medical Center.
Cadyn Beard lost his hearing when he was only a year old. Doctors can't explain why it happened, but ENT specialists told Cadyn’s parents there was a way to restore his hearing. Months later, Cadyn became the second child to ever receive a Cochlear Implant surgery in the Brazos Valley.
Doctors activated the implant for the first time Friday. “It was exciting to know he could hear our voices for the very first time,” said Krista Beard, Cadyn’s mother.
The Beards recorded the moment when doctors turned on the cochlear implant. In the video, you can see the moment Cadyn hears a crayon drop for the first time.
“He got really shy. He ducked down into his arm. He was a little scared, a little skeptical. Then he just wanted a hug,” said Krista. “It’s just a jolt to all of a sudden hear something that you haven't heard before...when you haven't heard anything.”... Read The Full Story.
