Next week is Stagetext’s annual Captioning Awareness Week which is our annual campaign to raise awareness of the benefits of captioning. #HearingLossHour #CAW2023 @HearingLosshour #CaptioningAwarenessWeek

@HearingLosshour Yes just great. I don’t know how I managed all these years before! 🤦🏼‍♀️

[Rachel Binns @aduabinns]

This was true for me. It was life changing. #HearingLossHour

We know from those who attend their first captioned performance, how liberating it is to be included in the moment, word for word, same time as everyone else. Tell us if you’ve been to a captioned event before & how did it make you feel? #HearingLOssHour #CAW2023 @HearingLosshour

@HearingLosshour @hearingaids This is true. Lack of sleep affects mental health in general, that then affects how much you can “hear” as your brain is tired. So you hear less - you are then less likely to engage in social activities as that can exacerbate the situation for you. #HearingLossHour

[Rachel Binns @aduabinns]

This is rational. We all want to get things right. #HearingLossHour

@HearingLosshour 1: hearing names, especially ones that are not English, as I get worried I’ll pronounce them wrong because I won’t hear them correctly and inadvertently cause offence

[Rachel Binns @aduabinns]

@Sall_Baker @HearingLosshour There’s research done on this. I’m no expert…. Just talking from my own experience. #HearingLossHour

[Rachel Binns @aduabinns]

@Sall_Baker @HearingLosshour No, it’s about your brain processing what you’ve heard. The more tired you are, the slower you can be. Just like if you’re been translating or speaking another language all day - it’s the same mental load and effort. #HearingLossHour

[Rachel Binns @aduabinns]

@Sall_Baker @HearingLosshour In these situations I have to concentrate more and my reactions are usually a little bit delayed white my brain catches up. #HearingLossHour

[Rachel Binns @aduabinns]

@Sall_Baker @HearingLosshour Not really, but those with thick accents are particularly hard to understand. #HearingLossHour

[Rachel Binns @aduabinns]

@Sall_Baker @HearingLosshour They do not sound very understanding.

[Rachel Binns @aduabinns]

@deafjonty @HearingLosshour This is the worst! Especially with mask wearing.

[Rachel Binns @aduabinns]

@HearingLosshour As per my other post. It's usually if I'm in a new situation and speaking to people I don't know or in a noisy environment.

[Rachel Binns @aduabinns]

@HearingLosshour I have just had to accept that there are times when it's worse than others. New situations can trigger it but I find you have to try and be upfront if you can.

[Rachel Binns @aduabinns]

@HearingLosshour I have been deaf since a young child, but my anxiety around that has been prevalent throughout my life and it comes in waves.

[Rachel Binns @aduabinns]
