Well, the weather has cooled off significantly, so I’ve been working on the DHH book proposal. It is coming along, and I have a target date of end of September.
I also will be helping the House Ear Institute in downtown L.A., helping with research purposes. It is in the field of lipreading. It sounds really [...]

I apologize for not blogging as much, but the book proposal and end of summer activities have kept me busy.
In the next week or so, I think the book proposal will be finished. It’s starting to look really nice, and I think I have novel information to offer the DHH reading market.
Interestingly, here are many, [...]

This morning I was shopping at my local grocery store.
While in there, I saw a DHH woman walking down an aisle with a hearing son. It was apparent to me that she had a cochlear implant done in the past. We were surprised to see each other, because obviously we are both local. I didn’t [...]

My Hearing Cat

I am totally convinced that our cat, Princess, knows I have hearing loss.
If there is something going on, or she wants something, she will bump me, pull my hair with her teeth, or even bite me gently. This is while I’m asleep. I usually can figure out that she wants to get out of our [...]

How would you like to have a hearing aid implanted in your molar?
Yes, I mean a tooth. This particular type of hearing aid is only for someone who is deaf in one ear, like actor Rob Lowe is. This is in the research mode though, and they are looking for suitable candidates. As I understand [...]

So now I’m pleased to be able to help others who have issues or concerns about hearing loss via this blog and a planned, future book.
It’s an important subject, because the number of people with hearing loss is expected to rise dramatically for the coming [...]

Lately there’s been an uproar in the DHH community about the availability of captioned movies, particularly those coming out from Netflix.
There are at least two search engines that will help you find captioned first-run movies in local theaters.
One is called Fomdi, http://www.fomdi.com and another one is Captionfish, at: http://www.captionfish.com
However, it is best to visit the website [...]
One Last Textbook

One last textbook, one more DVD and then I take the test.
I have been reading about hard of hearing children in schools.
Interestingly, the book says that DHH children with loss of hearing in only one ear, tend to have more behavioral problems than those with normal hearing, or have hearing loss in BOTH ears. (Actor [...]
