Deaf Girl Receives Doll Who Wears Hearing Aids

This is the adorable moment a Deaf five year old girl received a doll just like her with hearing aids.


SYDNEY -- Abbi Keating, from New South Wales, Australia, lost her hearing at two years old - something that baffled doctors as she also stopped talking.


Her mum, Amy, 31, was devastated but quickly ensured her daughter was fitted with hearing aids and later underwent an operation to have a cochlear implant fitted - an electronic device that replaces the function of the ear.

Abbi longed for a doll just like her and spent hours drawing hearing devices onto her dolls with pen.

Deaf Musician - Myles de Bastion

How a Deaf musician is helping others “See with Sound”


Share from Great Big Story channel on YouTube. For many, music is a unifier--an art form that brings people together and allows us to connect over shared emotions. But what if you couldn’t hear the lyrics or rhythms that add meaning to our lives? Enter Myles de Bastion and his Audiolux visualization system.


Though he now identifies as Deaf, the Portland-based artist and musician never lost his love of music. Combining his interest in sound, visual arts and technology, de Bastion created a system to share music with both Deaf and hearing audiences alike. In the process, he formed an entirely new method of communication and self-expression that hearing and non-hearing communities can appreciate together.

'America's Got Talent' Deaf Singer Mandy Harvey

Deaf singer, Mandy Harvey inspires America's Got Talent judges and earns Golden Buzzer.


LOS ANGELES, California -- America's Got Talent 2017, Mandy Harvey, Deaf singer follows her dreams and earns a Golden Buzzer from Simon Cowell with her original song "Try." The original video clip is already going viral in Deaf and Hard of Hearing community across the country and globe.

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

In the clip, which aired on Tuesday night’s episode of the show, Mandy Harvey, a contestant, spoke through a sign language interpreter to one of the show’s judges, Simon Cowell, and described becoming Deaf in her late teens because of complications from a health issue.


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

“After I lost my hearing, I gave up,” she said. “But I want to do more with my life than just give up.” She explained that after a period of not performing, she learned how to sing again by using tools such as “visual tuners”, and added that she performs without wearing shoes so she can feel a song’s beat through floor vibrations.

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

She then broke into a song that she wrote, “Try.” The judges and some audience members appeared visibly shocked by her lucid notes; some could be seen wiping away tears. At the end of the clip, Mr. Cowell hit a golden buzzer, sending Ms. Harvey to the show’s next round. Music swelled as Mr. Cowell, known for his grumpy demeanor, joined Ms. Harvey onstage to tell her that her performance “was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen and heard.”

The clip gained traction online after it aired, and was trending on YouTube on Thursday, where commenters showered Ms. Harvey with accolades. On Twitter, some users predicted her as the winner of the show. Celebrities including Tyra Banks chimed in:

Hey @MandyHarvey! You’ve got the world talking, and believing that yes, you can do anything! See you at the live shows, lady! #AGT --Tyra Banks (@tyrabanks) June 7, 2017.

Though the show may well make Ms. Harvey famous, it isn’t the first outlet to discover her talent. NBC Nightly News profiled the singer, who has released several albums, in 2015, as did the BBC, this spring. And she has performed in prestigious venues including the Kennedy Center.



“I sing to encourage other people; that’s what makes me happy,” she told the BBC in its feature on her. “My passion, the whole reason why I sing, is so that I can say, ‘Hey, this is what I’ve done; I really hope that I can encourage you to do the same.’”

Animated Short Film 'Deaf in a Hearing World'

The Inspiring Deaf Awareness Animated Short Film 'Deaf in a Hearing World' by StoryBooth.


StoryBooth shares inspirational real stories animated short film is about a young teenage Deaf girl, Jocelyn, 15, wearing cochlear implant, survivor by bullying at mainstreaming school in a hearing world. English subtitles version.


Related Short Film: Deaf Awareness: Alone In A Hearing World.

It's hard enough to go from middle school to high school, even harder when you are going to a brand new school, but imagine doing all of that and being deaf - the only deaf student in the school. That's what Jocelyn was going through when she entered 9th grade - alone in a big new school, without a friend, and feeling so out of place being a Deaf person in a hearing world.

Her cochlear implants American Sign Language helped her to hear, just a bit, but they also looked strange to the other kids. She didn't know anyone, had no friends there, and nobody seemed to care about her, or noticed that she was all alone. In fact, because she was Deaf, the other kids ignored her, or looked at her strangely and whispered to each other. This all made her feel even more alone, more different. She felt so isolated. Her deafness seemed to be holding her back and and stopped students from getting close to her in a way she should be just like any other kid.

Then, one day in poetry class, a boy sitting in front of her passed her a note. She had never gotten a note before. He asked her is she wanted a friend. She could hardly believe it, hardly trust it - but there he was, asking, sincere.

She said yes and, eventually, they became best friends! He spoke to her as if she wasn't Deaf, and that made her so happy. He made her feel like she belonged. He treated her just like any other hearing person. And they did what any other friends would do, went to the Mall, to Starbucks, and the library to study and draw. He began to experience a day though a deaf person's eyes.

Now they are always hanging out together. And he taught Jocelyn the true meaning of friendship, which was the greatest gift she had ever received. It changed her, brought her back to life, and for that, Jocelyn will always be thankful and grateful.

How To Communicate With Deaf People

Deaf Awareness: "How to communicate with Deaf People"


Dear friends, we understand that it's difficult for Deaf people to understand Hearing people and make friends. And it's also Hard for Hearing people to understand Deaf people as well.


But we all have to be more sensitive and try to understand each other. For example, Hearing people may not understand when Deaf people communicate using Sign Language.

We can try to teach Hearing friends how to communicate with us using Sign Language and Lip Reading. There are no differences between the Hearing and the Deaf. Accept and love with each other.

Nonverbal Boy Is Best Friends With His Deaf Dog

WATCH: 6-year-old nonverbal boy is best friends with his 3-year-old adopted Ellie the Deaf dog hit the Internet.


ORLANDO, FL -- A non-verbal 6-year-old in Florida and a Deaf dog have become the best of friends.

Connor Guillet was adopted by Brandi Guillet when he was just 4 weeks old, and although he was born addicted to drugs and her family knew he would have special needs, they proceeded.



“He needed a family and we wanted a family -- it was a match made in heaven," Brandi told insideEdition.com. "I always say he is our wish come true."

When Brandi went to an event for Boxer dogs who needed homes a few weeks ago, she met 3-year-old Ellie, who is Deaf, and decided to take her home.

“We never thought about Deaf Dogs until her,” Brandi said. “When Jon, who works at the rescue, showed me that Ellie responds to sign I had a lightbulb go off immediately.”

Connor communicates through sign language and as soon as the two met Brandi says she let Connor go up to her and touch and kiss her.

"To think that Connor can sign to her and actually communicate with her made my heart melt. We met her... that was it," Brandi said.

The two have been inseparable since.

They family was initially only planning on fostering Ellie but after her and Connor hit it off, they decided to adopt her.

“Boxers are known to be great with kids but there is something definitely special about Ellie,” Brandi said. “When Connor has tantrums she will stand over him as if to comfort him. When he is upset he will immediately go to her for comfort. It warms my heart like nothing else. He has a true friend in Ellie”

Nyle DiMarco Reads To Deaf Kids In Video Clip

Dancing With the Stars champ Nyle DiMarco reads to Deaf kids in 'adorable' video clip from Twitter.


FREDERICK, MD -- People Magazine: On Friday, the Deaf model who won America's Next Top Model cycle 22 in 2015 and the most recent season of Dancing With the Stars earlier this year took to Twitter to share a heartwarming video.

The clip shows Nyle DiMarco, 26, signing with two young kids and asking them to name the colors in a picture book.

In his own words, the result is quite simply "adorable."


Earlier this year, the showstopper told PEOPLE he "never wanted to hear."

"That's never existed in my life," he said. "I'm happy!"

The model and actor was born in New Jersey and raised in Frederick, Maryland, by his single mom and he's just one of more than 25 Deaf people in his family: His twin brother, his older brother, his parents, grandparents and great-grandparent are all Deaf.

"Growing up, I was always involved in the Deaf community," said the star, who recently established the Nyle DiMarco Foundation which advocates that parents teach their Deaf children American Sign Language even if they plan on getting their child a cochlear implant or hearing aid.

"I started to realize that there are a lot of people who are unaware of Deaf Culture, and I've been given a great platform to reframe the Deaf community," he told PEOPLE. "I want to use my celebrity for good."

California State Prison Care For Deaf Dogs

California inmates care for Deaf dogs evacuated from shelter due to fire.


LANCASTER, California -- A group of inmates at a California state prison are providing shelter, care and love for dozens of Deaf dogs that were recently forced to evacuate a nearby shelter threatened by a wildfire.


Nearly 50 dogs at the Deaf Dogs Rescue of America in Acton, California, were evacuated this past Sunday evening after the shelter's directors Lisa Tipton and her husband Mark Tipton noticed flames from the Sand Fire blowing in their direction.

"We're pretty high up on a hill and we didn't want to take a chance on floating embers 'cause all it takes is one to light this whole place up," Lisa Tipton told ABC News Today. She said she called dozens of local centers, shelters and other rescues, but only the California State Prison in Los Angeles County offered to take all the dogs, no questions asked.

The state prison in Lancaster runs a program called Paws for Life.

The state prison which is located in Lancaster, California has group of inmates involved with a program called Paws 4 Life, which matches inmates with dogs from county shelters that are at high risk for euthanization, according to Kristina Khokobashvili, a public information officer for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

The inmates take in the dogs and work with professional trainers to socialize them, teach them basic obedience and ultimately help them pass the American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen test, Khokobashvili told ABC News today. Dogs that pass the test get a certificate showing that they know basic commands and how to interact peacefully with others thus increasing their chances of adoption.

More than 70 dogs taken in by the prison's inmates have been successfully adopted out to forever homes in the two years since Paws 4 Life's inception, Khokobashvili said.

And so when Lisa Tipton brought nearly 50 of her rescue dogs to the jail Sunday night, she said she knew "they were in good hands."

"When we came by the next morning, every single dog had a smile on their face and was enjoying themselves," Tipton said. "Even the pretty difficult dogs I thought would get snappy were thriving."

Tipton credited the inmates' genuine joy and care as the reason for why the pups adjusted so well despite such a stressful situation.

Inmate David Dougall told ABC-owned station KABC that interacting with the dogs and other people involved with program "gives me life again" and "gives me my spirit back."

Jon Grobman, another inmate, said that "Paws 4 Life restored my faith in humanity that I'm a person, that I matter."

He added, "It gave me the opportunity to care for something, love something."

A heartwarming video showcasing the special bond between Julia and her puppy was recently posted to the humane society's Facebook page. The video, produced with the help of 1620 Media, has received more than 246,000 views and hundreds of positive comments since it was shared last week.

In the video, Julia can be seen teaching Walter sign language, including sign commands for "sit," water" and "food."

"I love Walter," she says in sign language. "Walter is my best friend."

Walter first came to the Pasadena Humane Society and SPCA last December, according to Jamie Holeman, community relations associate for the organization.

A Good Samaritan had found Walter and his littermates abandoned and brought them in, Holeman told ABC News today. Walter was only 6 weeks old when he was found, she said.

Once the resilient pup was old enough to be put up for adoption, the shelter posted a photo of Walter to its Facebook page, Holeman said. Julia and her mother saw Walter's photo on the page and immediately fell in love.

The love at first sight only grew stronger when Julia and her mother went to meet Walter in person.

"When I first held Julia, since she couldn’t really hear my voice she would smell my neck and when I first held Walter, he did almost the same exact thing," Julia's mother says in the video recently shared by the humane society.

"I remember just looking at him, and I just knew that he was meant to be ours," she adds. "They’re the same."

Holeman said she hoped that the video would remind people that "there's always someone out there for everyone."

Julia's family asked not to be identified by their last name.
