Smart Eyeglasses For Hearing Disabilities

After four months of work, research, and design, a Palestinian engineer innovates a smart eyeglasses for people with hearing disabilities.

GAZA MINA, Palestine -- A Palestinian engineer Nadia Zahir al-Khatib, who inhabits the Gaza Strip, was able to design smart glasses that are smartly known as Peace Ear Glasses. It is a pair of glasses attached to a small device up to the size of a pocket, and it performs the task of people's voices and speech through the microphone attached to the glasses into written language that is displayed and reflected on the glasses lenses to be read and understood.

Engineer Al-Khatib has used artificial intelligence to produce smart glasses for the hearing impaired, which will enable them to understand the spoken language spoken by those around them, and thus end the suffering of not understanding the language in their surroundings with ease and ease, at a cost that may not exceed 50 dollars...

Deaf Players Innovate VRChat Community

Deaf people in VRChat talk about their life experiences and community.

Syrmor channel on YouTube shares the anime video in english subtitles of Deaf Awareness and educating about bullying by Hearing People.

Ray the anime girl in the beginning was born Deaf. Sio the anime girl that first appears at 3:06 became hard-of-hearing after the accident. She has diplacusis and tinnitus. Diplacusis makes it so that she hears double.

Sio will hear sounds at 2 different pitches simultaneously making it difficult to decipher what is being said. This makes some voices understandable and others not depending on the pitch of the voice. Tinnitus is a ringing in the ear that can be similar to the sensation of buzzing, hissing, chirping, or whistling.

Translating from American Sign Language into english isn't exactly 1:1 because of grammar structure. Certain lines were translated the way they were because of the context of the whole conversation. Big thanks to Quentin for helping me translate https://twitter.com/urquentin.

Social Experiment: Being Deaf For A Day

Deaf Awareness: Jenn Chia was Deaf for a day. This is what happened..

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- This video is one that is incredibly close to Jenn Chia heart. Being Deaf for a day has made Jenn more aware of the world around her. It has opened up her mind to a new worldview. Video with English Subtitles.

Before this, Jenn have always deemed the Deaf as, for lack of a better word, incapable of many everyday activities. Yes, she was that stupid and uninitiated.

After this “experiment,” albeit only for a day, she learnt that apart from hearing, the Deaf can do anything a hearing person can... and more.

Without her sense of hearing, she found herself paying more attention when communicating with other people. She became more attentive to signs, cues, and nuances that could indicate what the other person is talking about.

In the making of this video, she realised how much taken words and communication for granted; and how a genuine smile could light up a room, transcending language and senses.

Thank you so much Grab Malaysia for giving her this opportunity to experience something so invaluable.

She want to thank the team as well for supporting her and realising this mini documentary with Jenn Chia. To know more about how you can support the initiative as well, visit website: https://grb.to/GFGSoimjenn.

How Die Hard Almost Made Bruce Willis Deaf

Back when Bruce Willis was the biggest tough guy on the planet, he wasn't opposed to a little permanent bodily harm.

CRACKED posted the movie clip of John McClane from the Die Hard series - back when Bruce Willis was the biggest badass on the planet, he wasn't opposed to subjecting himself to physical and permanent bodily harm in the name of acting.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

Bruce Willis is partly deaf because of the film, he lost two-thirds of his hearing in his left ear during filming. He had to fire a gun loaded with extra loud blanks, but the absence of ear plugs along with the excruciatingly loud noise bouncing off into the actor's ear left him permanently damaged: Die Hard Made Bruce Willis Deaf.

Deaf Scientists Probe Hearing Loss Treatments

Team of Deaf scientists probe hearing loss treatments in Oregon.

PORTLAND, Oregon -- WISN Milwaukee: When Peter Steyger learned to speak, he had to wear hearing aids. At 14 months, he was struck with meningitis. The powerful antibiotic that saved his life largely stripped him of hearing.

His mother, determined to keep him in the hearing community, worked with him an hour a day for four years as part of an intensive regime of speech therapy. Sometimes it took him 10 minutes to learn a single word. He didn't start to catch up to his peers until eight years later.

But today at 54, Steyger is a prominent auditory neuroscientist. At Oregon Health & Science University, he's part of a team of researchers who are studying the auditory system in hopes of helping others who can't hear.

The 10 faculty members in OHSU's Oregon Hearing Research Center are considered trailblazers among their peers.

"I look at their program as a very unique one in the world because of the breadth and the depth of their auditory science and the high quality of the science that's done there," said Jennifer Stone, an auditory neuroscientist at the University of Washington in Seattle.

The center also stands out in another way: It has five professors with hearing loss. Few other auditory research departments have even one scientist with a hearing disability. None has as many as OHSU, experts say.

Their varied biomedical backgrounds allow them to study every aspect of the auditory system, and their personal experiences inform their research.

"They've all got pretty high profiles and are covering lots of different bases," said Jonathan Ashmore, a leading auditory neuroscientist based at University College London in Britain.

Their work has helped make the center, dating to 1967, one of the biggest nationwide. About a dozen other universities have hearing research centers with at least three faculty members. Only about five have 10 or more. OHSU's department of otolaryngology - an ear, nose and throat specialty - is No. 2 in funding from the National Institutes of Health, at $10 million a year, right behind Johns Hopkins University.

For the scientists, it's not been easy. Their hearing loss has complicated their lives. They struggled to follow their teachers and professors, keep up in graduate school and complete their post-doctoral training. They had difficulty taking notes. They suffered from a sense of isolation and found it tough to make friends.

But they found a home at the Oregon Hearing Research Center. They're not alone in their disability, and they have a personal motivation to succeed. Though their research might not cure their own hearing loss, they hope to help the hearing of future generations... Read The Full Story - WISN Milwaukee.

Smart Vest Lets The Deaf ‘Hear’ With Their Skin

This smart vest lets the Deaf ‘hear’ with their skin, what are the limits of human perception?

SAN FRANCISCO BAY -- Singularity Hub: Take a second and concentrate on your surroundings: the subtle flickering of your laptop screen, the faint whiff of lingering coffee, the muffled sounds of traffic, the warm touch of sunlight peeking through your window.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

We owe our understanding of the world to our various senses. Yet what we naturally perceive is only a sliver of the physical world.

The eerie beauty of infrared is beyond our grasp, as are the air compression waves that bats use for navigation, or the electromagnetic fields that constantly course through our bodies.

“Your senses limit your reality,” said Stanford neuroscientist Dr. David Eagleman at the TED conference last year in Vancouver, British Columbia.

We are slaves to our senses, and when we lose one, we also lose our ability to perceive that fraction of the world. Take hearing, for example. Although cochlear implants somewhat restore sound perception as an inner ear replacement, they’re pricey, surgically invasive and very clunky. They also don’t work very well for congenitally Deaf people when implanted later in life.

According to Eagleman, replacing faulty biological sensory hardware is too limited in scope.

What if, instead of trying to replace a lost sense, we could redirect it to another sense? What if, instead of listening, we could understand the auditory world by feeling it on our skin? And what if, using the same principles, we could add another channel to our sensory perception and broaden our reality?

Our “Mr. Potato Head” Brain - Eagleman’s ideas aren’t as crazy as they sound.

Our brain is locked in a sensory vacuum. Rather than vision, smell, touch or sound, it only understands the language of electric-chemical signals that come in through different “cables.” In essence, our valued peripheral organs are nothing but specialized sensors, translating various kinds of external input - photons and sound waves, for example - into electricity that feeds into the brain.

“Your brain doesn’t know and it doesn’t care where it gets the data from,” says Eagleman. Your ear could be a microphone, your eye a digital camera, and the brain can still learn to interpret those signals. That’s why cochlear and retinal implants work... Read More at Singularity Hub.

What ‘Deaf’ Means To Me - Amanda McDonough

What ‘Deaf’ means to me with Amanda McDonough.

Deaf activist, actress and Youtuber Amanda McDonough discussion and conversation questions about "What "Deaf" Means to Me" she wanted to talk about something she have been thinking a lot about recently and that is the word "DEAF." Now she grew up in hearing culture in the United States.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

I grew up with hearing family, hearing friends, going to a mainstream school and I didn't have access to signing. I didn't have access to Deaf people and... So, growing up for me that word "DEAF" scared me, because for me, before, that meant that I was going to lose my hearing. That meant that I was going to lose access to oral communication. That meant I might lose my family and my friends. That was scary for me. It was really scary. And it wasn't until after I became physically Deaf that I started searching for people like me and I started searching for a better way to communicate. And I found that in Deaf Culture, in sign language, in the Deaf community.

Now that i am a proud Deaf woman that word death means something so different to me. So, I wanted to share with you what word "DEAF" means to me now.

Now the word "DEAF" means strength. It means having the strength to accept yourself for who you really are. It also means support; having the support of the Deaf community. Having people around me that understand what i go through every single day, all of my struggles. They understand me, they really understand. It also means communication, because now I have this beautiful language that I can always understand I don't have have to struggle with and I have access to communication through new technology like VoIP and oh captioned phones. Different things that help me communicate better. It also, lastly, means intelligence. Why? Because deaf people; we have to be able to think creatively. We have to be able to think outside the box so that we can create new solutions to problems that we have, that don't depend on hearing, and that takes intelligence. So, this is what my new meaning of the word "DEAF" is.

What does "DEAF" mean to you?

National Geographic - What It’s Like To Read Lips

This eye-opening video beautifully depicts what it’s like to be Deaf.

Have you ever tried to hear what a person was saying based on the way they move their lips?

It’s a well-know that many of those who are Deaf converse through lip-reading. But have you ever stopped and thought about just how hard that can be?

In a video produced by Little Moving Pictures, one woman, Rachel Kolb, perfectly articulates what it feels like to experience a world that you can’t physically hear.

The video shows a range of people speaking about every day experiences. Each story is subtitled. But as their stories continue, the subtitles begin to blur until they completely vanish and the audio fuses out until the video is completely silent – with only lips moving on the screen.

The Short Film Showcase spotlights exceptional short videos created by filmmakers from around the web and selected by National Geographic editors. We look for work that affirms National Geographic's mission of inspiring people to care about the planet. The filmmakers created the content presented, and the opinions expressed are their own, not those of the National Geographic Society.

But as people talk faster, the lips become pretty much impossible to read – seriously giving us an in-depth look into what those without the ability to hear have to focus on every day.

Rachel also highlights the fact that speech is not just movements of the lips and sound. It is accents, it is people’s mumbles, the way some may cover their mouths when they talk – the list is endless. All things that many of us unknowingly take for granted.

Rachel describes lip-reading as ‘putting together a puzzle without all the pieces’.

She said: ‘There have been times when I’ve questioned why I even try to lip read.

‘To wade through this swamp, when I could just use sign language.’

She compares the use of sign language to being in a different world – a world filled with ‘rich expression and culture.’

But for Rachel, when lip-reading works, she feels something that she thinks sign-language cannot offer her all of the time. ‘When I focus on one legible face, and launch into a conversation, something clicks.

‘Right then, I feel something extraordinary. Human connection.’

No Ordinary Hero: The SuperDeafy Movie Trailer (2013)

Storyline: Tony Kane plays a superhero on TV, but in real life he's just another guy who happens to be Deaf, with hopes and dreams that always seem to elude him.

Deaf With A Capital 'D'

Deaf with a capital 'D' In today’s world and the Deaf community find this distinction to be highly important.

Iowa State Daily - Deaf with a capital 'D' In today’s world, being politically correct is often hard to do without offending someone. However, for the Deaf with a capital “D” community, phrases and even capitalization or noncapitalization of the word “deaf” can make a huge difference.

Jonathan Webb, American Sign Language instructor and interpreter, explained that if someone is “Deaf,” that means they are culturally Deaf.

“Deaf individuals don’t consider themselves as disabled; they see themselves as a cultural and linguistic minority,” Webb said. “They don’t see themselves as a disability group because they have a shared set of values, shared behavioral norms, shared belief system and a shared language.”

Webb explained that asking a deaf person which type of deaf they are is not considered offensive because the ASL language is very direct.

“Asking someone directly, ‘Do you consider yourself lowercase ‘d’ deaf or capital ‘D’ Deaf,’ if they don’t know the difference, if they go, ‘What do you mean?’ then more than likely they are lowercase ‘d’ deaf,” Webb said. Rachel Johnson, a 37-year-old senior in history, has considered herself culturally Deaf all her life...
