Now I think it was perhaps none of the neighbour’s business to ask about the new tenant, but given they had complained bitterly about every single previous tenant, the landlord was just keen to get them on side and restore calm to the neighbourhood.
The implication that anyone over the age of 70 is deaf and going to have their tv on loud is unfounded.
But it’s also sadly a sign that some think it’s acceptable to discriminate against those who are #deaf.

If you play video games and identify as disabled, Deaf, and/or neurodiverse, we'd love to learn more about your experiences over a 1-hour online interview. You would also receive a $35 gift card as a thank-you for your involvement in the study after the interview.

Sanna menetti kuulonsa lapsena ja sokeutui kaksikymppisenä – kertoo nyt, miksi ei halunnut näköä palauttavaa leikkausta
Sanna Paasonen, 45, menetti lapsena kuulonsa, nuorena aikuisena myös näkönsä. Harvinaisesta sairaudesta huolimatta hän toteutti unelmansa ja opiskeli opettajaksi.
‘It’s always amazing that family members or close friends still don’t understand why we don’t hear perfectly with hearing aids.
They ask: do you have your things in?
This is very frustrating and, because it’s family, I don’t bother trying to hide it.’
This is me. Daily! The assumption that HAs are a cure, not an adaptive technology.

"My partner and I are an international #deaf couple. We want to enjoy movies together, each with #subtitles in our own language. But it’s much harder than it should be.
Cinemas don’t offer dual subtitles, so we rely on technical solutions. Yet, the few available tools are often faulty, not cross-platform, or simply unreliable.
Why is it so difficult to learn languages and enjoy movies together, accessible?"
New blog post published where I talk about how bluetooth works and trying to figure out if I can connect my hearing aids to my Linux laptop. https://bugwhisperer.dev/blog/bluetooth-hearingaids-linux/

I started dating a #deaf person, and even though it's going well, and we have good communication, I can see their anxiety go through the roof when we are in a place like a bar where we are in close proximity to and interacting with hearing people who can't sign and kind of act weird when they see a deaf person. I think it's called Dinner Table Syndrome
Oh yeah, here’s the project I’ve been working on :) a lil Girl Scout cookie booth AAC board for nonspeaking kids, kids with apraxia of speech, kids with selective mutism, or even Deaf/HoH kids who want a backup option to sign or speech.
A lot of folks realized that the sale side helps Deaf/HoH folks order, and a few more requested a translation to Spanish and Hindi for their customer base that speak those languages. I provide them all free, with variations for both bakeries (ABC and LBB) in my girl scouting graphics dropbox, bit.ly/GSfilesbyLondon
"The Austrian Deaf community has been well organised and unified by a common language since the 19th century. But since only 10% of Deaf people have Deaf parents, therefore the transfer of language, the preservation of culture and identity and the handing down of the common history are especially fragile. Hence, documenting the experiences of older people and making them accessible for Deaf children and youth is all the more important. National Socialist rule brought forth changes for everyone. The Deaf community was in particular danger (less information, no alarms) and directly threatened by Nazi legislation (e.g. forced sterilisations). Courses of action taken then and ways to deal with memories today vary greatly, just like in the hearing society."

Ilmeeni, kun mokasin ruokakauppatilauksen ja halusin korjata sen, mutta appissa lukee "Soita meille matalalla kynnyksellä, mikäli haluat tehdä muutoksia tilaukseen".
