I have a radio aid which I use and it’s not possible to also use a microphone for others to hear me, as far as I know. I’m using the microphone on the computer which isn’t as clear as an external mic. Any advice would be hugely appreciated 2/2

[Deaf ToD UK @dDeafToD]

Request via DM: Good morning all. I was wondering if any of you can help? Is there a way of streaming audio directly into a cochlear implant whilst also using a microphone. This would be for online meeting etc. 1/2

Hello! I'm Kate, Kate Rowley. I'm Patrick, Patrick Rosenburg. We are researchers @DCAL_UCL & we're interested in research language comprehension in deaf children, particularly BSL comp. skills & how this relates to English reading skills. We need 300 deaf kids aged 4-18.

[Kate Rowley @katerowley0]

Hi! I'm Patrick, Patrick Rosenburg. I work @DCAL_UCL & I'm working on a project with @katerowley0 we are both aiming to finish developing a new assessment - the BSL Sentence Reproduction Task (SRT). We need 3 more people who learnt BSL between 7-11 years.

“I can’t imagine what will happen to a generation of #deaf children if they’re not getting that Teacher of the Deaf support.”

@AnnJillings tells us why @ClaireCoutinho and @educationgovuk should invest in more Teachers of the Deaf.

Statement on strike accessibility from the NEU:

“We hope you will join us on Wed to take part in the march to Westminster. We will meet on the steps of the BBC at 10.45. We have checked access and have been told there should be BSL interpreters for speeches after the march.“

[National Deaf Children's Society @NDCS_UK]

We know it would only cost 0.1% (£8 million) of the annual high-needs budget to return Teachers of the Deaf to 2011 levels. Yet the UK Government has still not addressed the shortage of Teachers of the Deaf.

Please ask your MP to take action on this: https://t.co/ep0mlVGL1P

Attended @BATOD_UK ‘s amazing webinar re the need for a #DeafStudies module on #ToD courses. So refreshing for this to be led by Deaf experts. It was on point. Thank you @martinemonks @aud2526, @AnneliesKusters and co #DeafTeacher here in support @dDeafToD
