Assistive Communication Technology.  Refers to any technology that helps a person with hearing loss or a voice, speech, or language disorder to communicate. 

Assistive Listening System - An electronic system that silently, and usually wirelessly, transmits sound to a receiving device that connects to earphones or, using a neckloop, hearing aids or an implant processor.  The types of systems currently in use are:

FM/RF- Sound is transmitted by a low power,  high frequency radio transmitter to receivers that connect to headsets or neckloops to reproduce the sound.

IR - IR systems transmit sound to receivers using invisible infrared light waves. Headsets or neckloops are connected to the receivers to reproduce the sound.

Hearing Loop – Sound is transmitted by an electromagnetic field that connects to the telecoils in hearing aids or implant processors or other receivers with headsets that reproduce the sound.

Audio WiFi – Sound is transmitted as radio waves by a router to a borrowed receiver or personal smartphone and relayed to hearing aids via a headset, neckloop or streamed by Bluetooth®.

Hard Wired – Sound is transmitted by plugging a headset or neckloop into an audio jack that is hard wired to the public address system.

Bluetooth® - A technology that uses ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio waves to transmit data or sound from an electronic source to hearing aids, a cell phone, personal computer, music player or other such electronic device.

Captioning  - Captioning takes the spoken word and transcribes it into text, like closed captions on a TV. In public venues captions most often are in a form transmitted to hand held receivers loaned to participants by the venue.

CART - Communication Access Realtime Translation.  A type of captions usually projected onto a reflective screen or a large TV monitor to serve an audience.  In a slide presentation they may be incorporated into a section of the slide.

Cochlear Implant  -   An electronic hearing device implanted in the skull, designed to produce useful hearing sensations to a person with severe to profound hearing loss.

Hearing care provider – Describer for audiologists or hearing aid dispensers (also called hearing instrument specialists) both of whom are licensed to perform hearing tests and fit hearing aids.

Neckloop – A neckloop is a device used in place of a headset or earbuds by people who have receivers called telecoils in their hearing aids or the processor for their implant.

Telecoils – Often called T-coils, are tiny receivers in hearing aids or implant processor and some remote microphones that receive sound transmitted as a silent electromagnetic wave. Activated using the T-switch on the hearing devices or their remote control, they wirelessly connect the user to a hearing loop assistive listening system.

Did you know that Cerebral Palsy often has Deafness as a Co Morbidity?

LINK

The Cerebral Palsy Guide has compiled the most in-depth resources nationwide to help guide and assist families with disabilities caused by physical birth injuries, including deafness.


 https://www.cerebralpalsyguidance.com.


Regularly doctor reviewed, Cerebral Palsy Guidance (CPG) content extends deep into health and medicine, with other topics like counseling, grief/coping, culture, inclusion, adoption, assistance, lifestyle, civil rights, education and much more. 


Hearing loss

Hearing impairment, also known as hearing loss, refers to any degree of impairment of the ability to hear sound. The degree of one’s hearing loss is measured on a scale and can be slight, mild, moderate, severe or profound. There are three main types of hearing loss, including:

Conductive hearing loss occurs when there is a problem in the outer or middle ear, which results in hearing only faint sounds. With this type of hearing impairment, sound is not properly carried (conducted) through the outer ear canal to the middle ear (the eardrum and the ossicles or the tiny bones of the middle ear) and inner ear. Conductive hearing loss can usually be corrected by medical or surgical intervention.

Sensorineural hearing loss occurs when the inner ear (cochlea) or the auditory nerve are damaged. This type of hearing impairment reduces the ability to hear faint sounds and speech often sounds muffled. It usually cannot be corrected medically or surgically and is the most common type of permanent hearing loss.

A person has mixed hearing loss if they have both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss in an ear. In this case, there is damage in the outer or middle ear and in the inner ear.

Central hearing loss is a rare form of hearing impairment. With central hearing loss, the issue is in the central nervous system, not the ear. The person may be able to hear perfectly, but they cannot interpret or understand the language.

An estimated 20 percent of children with cerebral palsy have a hearing impairment. Early intervention is important because hearing problems can also affect the child’s speech and communication skills.

Telehealth Appointment/Accessibility Guidelines for the HOH community.

During the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, it may not be safe to go to your doctor’s office -- even for a routine visit. Your doctor may ask you to stay home and discuss your health through video conferencing -- this is called “telehealth.” Even though your appointment is done virtually, your doctor must still provide you with an interpreter or captioning so you can understand your doctor during your appointment. The best way for you to use telehealth is for you to see your doctor, the interpreter, and/or captions on the same screen. However, doctors have varying telehealth systems -- do you know what you can request and what your doctors are still required to provide during the pandemic? 

To address this concern, a coalition of deaf and hard of hearing consumer advocacy organizations, deaf healthcare providers, and other experts worked together to provide special guidelines for deaf and hard of hearing.

If your doctor did not provide access during your telehealth appointment, please contact telehealth@dhhcan.org.

Advocacy

We advocate on legislative and public policy issues of concern to the deaf and hard of hearing community, particularly at the national level and often in collaboration with other national organizations.  We cover a wide range of issues including, but not limited to, captioning, early intervention, education, employment, emergency preparedness, health care, technology, and transportation.  You can learn more about issues of interest to you and the deaf and hard of hearing community through the links on many of our website pages.  On these pages, you will also find more information about action the NAD has taken on these issues and how you can get involved.

Legal Representation

Our attorneys represent deaf and hard of hearing individuals in disability discrimination civil rights cases that are carefully selected to establish powerful legal principles of equality and equal access (also known as impact cases).  The selected cases are those that present the best mixture of legal and factual issues, with the potential of having the widest possible impact and benefit for the deaf and hard of hearing community.  Cases are selected without regard to client income or NAD membership status.  Courts may award attorney fees and costs to the successful party in civil rights cases.  Settlement agreements may also provide for the payment of legal fees and costs.  Our attorneys may serve as co-counsel with private attorneys who are licensed in other states, but only on a limited, court-approved, case-by-case basis.  Our attorneys also consult with lawyers who represent deaf or hard of hearing clients.
