Have you seen hands-on signing in practice?

Leanne is deafblind and uses it with her partner, Guy. This #DeafblindAwarenessWeek, watch how she places her hands over Guy's to follow what's being communicated through touch and movement. 👐

The move to remote working was a big adjustment, but it presented extra challenges for deaf people and people with hearing loss.

Here are some tips from RNID's @RebekahMcKinst1 and @JesalVishnuram to make your meetings more accessible, via @CharityComms.

@scammell66 I am older but don't feel like that - For the TfL it's not about pay - they want to keep the staffing to pre-pandemic levels for safety reasons. Stations are unmanned and if anything happens there’s nobody on those stations. Also having to work nights (not in their contract) etc

Do you know any 8-16 year olds with severe-to-profound hearing loss? They can be helping out @BEARS_CI https://t.co/5kkvPvZbqA this summer with an online survey & changing the future of those with bilateral cochlear implants!Register https://t.co/ttXis7rUa5 @sarahsomerset1 Pls RT

[NIHR Nottingham BRC @NottmBRC]

It's #worldhearingday today. @hearingnihr has been looking at single-sided deafness (SSD) and identifying which core outcomes should be measured and reported on in SSD treatment studies. More on @CROSSSD_ here: https://t.co/nZz6hvNU2n #safelistening #hearingcare

[CROSSSD study @CROSSSD_]

The Core Rehabilitation Outcome Set for Single-Sided Deafness (CROSSSD) initiative is NIHR funded. We gathered opinions from healthcare users & professionals in the field of #SSD to agree on important measures to assess in clinical trials for #SSD interventions @NIHRresearch

[CROSSSD study @CROSSSD_]

Systematic review of outcome domains and instruments reported by studies that evaluated rerouting / restoring interventions for #SSD in adults @hearingnihr

>Findings emphasise the need to improve trial design and reporting in this area of health research

Can we predict tinnitus outcomes after cochlear implantation? (Dixon et al, 2019) https://t.co/iZmcZIF7mN @OandNonline @Sunnybrook @UofT_OHNS @ihpmeuoft

Influencing factors:
>worse residual hearing
>higher baseline tinnitus handicap

Interested in how your child's behaviour relates to their speech and language ability? If so and your child is aged 4-6 years and is a bilateral CI user OR has normal hearing, you can take part in our ongoing behaviour and language study FROM HOME! #researchingsafelydespiteCOVID
