We would also be able to help by speaking loud and clear so that they can understand what we are saying. Deaf/Blindness If the person is deaf and blind is to make sure that they wear their hearing aids and glasses also it would be very useful to make sure that if they like to read allot to use Audio Books and books which have extra-large words or books which have braille which would be very useful. 2. Describe how specific different methods enable communication with individuals with sensory loss There are specific different methods to enable communication with individuals with sensory loss such as being deaf we would communicate by using facial expressions, lip reading and sign language for someone that has lost their hearing these help and are a good source of communication. In today’s world there is a vast amount of devices to help improve and make things easier for people who are living with
It’s astounding that such a small device has created such gargantuan waves in the deaf community. Kathleen Kernicky simply explained how the implants work: “…a cochlear implant is a small electronic device surgically implanted behind the ear. Working with an earpiece, a microphone worn on the skull and a sound processor worn at the waist or behind the ear, the implant does the work of damaged hair cells in the inner ear (called the cochlea) by feeding electrical impulses to the brain.” (“To Hear Again.” Sun-Sentinel). Even from the conception of the cochlear implant, the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) has spoken out against them. The organization has accused them of being scientifically unsound, highly experimental, and ethically wrong.
SSR usually will provide some light snacks and beverages gratis during the Session. Vocalists are encouraged to warm up as needed, but not “overdo it”. The best vocal takes are usually the second or third “take” of a track. Food or drink is not allowed in the studio, control room, drum room, or vocal booth at any time. Only vocalists may bring bottled water (only water!)
The Pros and Cons of the Cochlear Implant HS Extension Site To begin to know the advantages and disadvantages of the Cochlear Implant we need to be clear exactly what it is. The Cochlear Implant is an electronic device which is implanted into the human ear, via surgery. Their function is to stimulate the auditory nerve and help people who are severely hearing impaired or are profoundly deaf, improve their hearing ability. The cochlear implant, converts acoustic sounds into electrical pulses. These pulses, in turn, stimulate the auditory nerve directly.
Karillys Peralta Professor Kessler Eng. 02- 1812 CATW #3 Listen At Your Own Risk In “Hearing Loss from Music Players” Stephen Castle discusses how music player affect you hearing. Music players are not the main problem that is making people loss their hearing. It’s the high-volume and base on the speakers and headphones that the young adults are using that cause hearing loss. According to Castle, young people who listen to music on high-volumes would not have an immediate effect in their hearing, but will probably have a result of hearing lost later on in life.
Unit 393 Sensory Loss Communication methods Sight loss People who are blind or partially sighted mostly use Braille to read, Braille is a tactile reading code where the paper has been embossed with bumps in a particular formation to represent a letter of the alphabet which enables blind or partially sighted person to access information by touch, Braille is also used on packaging for medications so a blind or partially sighted person can take their medication when required without the need for any help from a carer this helps increasing independence. Blind and partially sighted people also use audio to read For example, blind and partially sighted people may use products with audio feedback such as talking books, clocks, thermometers or weighing scales. Hearing loss. A deaf or hard of hearing person may use Sign Language to communicate, each country has their own form of sing language in this country (Britain) the British sign language (BSL) was officially recognised as a language in 2003 by the government. Under the Disability Discrimination Act, because Deaf people have the right to have access to information in British Sign Language if they are from this country.
3.1 Barriers to communication are Hearing impairment, visual impairment, speech impairment, speaking a different language, physical barrier, emotional barrier. 3.2 Ways to reduce barriers to communicate are if some has a hearing impairment then you need to if they are using a hearing aid you need to make sure that it it working properly, ensure that you are sitting in good light and that you speak clearly and do not shout. As this makes it more difficult for the individual to understand and read what you are saying. 3.3 Ways to check that communication has been understood is to ask the individual. Make sure you listen effectively and the use of body language is also important.
Some steps that can be taken to overcome the negative factors could be Make sure that areas are clear of obstacles that an individual with sight impairment might trip over or bump into. Make sure that hearing aids are working or that glasses prescriptions are updated Make them aware of all the different groups and organsation that can help them Challenge any discrimination. Make sure you address the person appropriately instead of talking over them as if they are not there. Explain how individuals with sensory loss can be disabled by attitudes and beliefs. People placing limitations on the person with the sensory loss can be disabling, for example, believing that a blind person can’t manage alone or that deaf people are funny because of the way they talk.
Wishes for support workers to follow the care plan to provide quality care. Outcome 3 1. Barriers to communication are: • Illnesses • Environment • Age • Financial • First language is not English • Speech difficulties • Aphasia • Confidence issues 4. Support and services to enable more effective communication are: • Music • Speech therapy • Interpreter • Advocacy • Hearing aids • Deaf Association • Blind Institute • Brail • Sign language training • Picture boards • Social services • NHS Outcome
Another way to overcome communication barriers would be Loop systems, loop systems are used with hearing systems they help them to hear as if they weren’t deaf and it sounds a lot clearer. These can be used to help deaf people hear the TV, or in cars people with hearing aids can link their hearing aid to the loop so they will only hear from
