#cochlearimplants — Public Fediverse posts

Sound of Metal isn’t really about metal — it’s about identity, loss, and what “fixing” something actually means. The film’s take on cochlear implants and deaf culture hits differently once you learn more about the real experiences behind them. Thought-provoking, frustrating, but definitely worth the conversation.

Imperfect sounds - Cochlear implants give deaf kids unprecedented access to sound. But insisting they avoid using sign language may be risky.

okay let's try this #introduction again
hi i'm niko they/them
me in three words: #deaf #enby #furry

likely have #ADHD and #autism but undiagnosed right now

i dabble a bit in #embedded (and a lot more not-embedded) programming with #rustlang

i take #photos from time to time, #photography is certainly one of my hobbies and i'll likely post some of my photos here (please let me know if i forget to add alt text)

#skiing from time to time as well (wish i could do it more but alas)

most of my time is spent behind a computer running #linux (i use arch btw)

originally migrated to linux for #privacy reasons and now love it for so many reasons, all of my systems run linux (except for my mobile devices on #iOS)

you might also see me talking about being #deaf with #CochlearImplants (which i like to say makes me a #cyborg) from time to time

at some point i'll stop rambling about stuff :3

Apologies for all the #s as we try to find members of our community! Do say hi if this is you 👋

Struggling with sleep so gave myself up to Instagram's algorithm which knows I love ASL. I don't like kid-heavy accounts (unless it's kids learning to snowboard, then I love it apparently) but I so appreciate this family's support of their daughter not to wear her CIs whenever she feels like it. I hope that other hearing families with deaf kids are watching this, a family who signs as the default and lets the kid control her own CI usage.

Do you have questions about sensation and perception, hearing and hearing loss, aural/oral communication disorders, or sensory aids?

Reply to this toot and I'll answer it as best as I can. Please note I'm not a medical doctor so I can't give you specific medical advice.

#introduction
Hello there, MakerKath here, well, you can call me Kathia if you want.

I am a #transfem #EnbyGirl with a #disability #deaf , but does use
#hearingaids and #cochlearimplants to let me artificially "hear" when I can handle it.
I'm also #sapphic / #lesbian , #neurodivergent and part of the #lgbtqia #queer community.

I'm hoping to really work on creating things from #art #animation #videoediting and #graphicdesign . I do enjoy being an #artist and will keep learning.

I was late in my self acceptance due to religious and social pressure, I knew who I am from a young age, and the disability that I am born with... people kept telling me they were trying to "pray it away" and/or "cure" me while trying to assimilate me into their "norms". After 23 years, I finally denounced the "norms" and "views" finding myself anew. I will never go back, only forward.

I wish I could thank the few people that told me it was okay to be myself back then, as well as all the people who will remind me to be myself into the future.

Thank you for having me. I'm hoping to be able to share some of my work into the future. ​:progress_heart:​ #introductions #introductions #introductions #introductions

I think we need to wrestle with this when thinking about #HearingAids and #CochlearImplants. What evidence do we have, what quality is the evidence, and how does this conflict with regulations, norms, and insurers who gatekeep access to care? Should we shift audiologists away from pumping pure tones for The Man to prescribe a device, and instead train audiologists as "communication therapists" (akin to occupational or physical therapy)?

Thanks to continued efforts by hardworking students at the Island High Fab Lab, more children from the Deaf/Hard of Hearing Program have received personalized teddy bears with cochlear implant transmitters.

I did not know this was a thing. Corporations effectively disabling your phone or your washing machine to force you to buy a new one is bad enough. Doing the same with your ears is disgusting. Especially if you didn't advise that this would happen before installation, and marketed it as "forever". Yet another "How do these people sleep at night?" moment.

@cath_finch hi Catherine in Wales. John in the US and fellow Bilateral CI recipient. Just wanted to say streaming music to my CIs rocks for me as well. J

#cochlearimplants, #deaf

Okay I’m looking at my old #introduction and realizing I missed a lot, so I’m just gonna redo this. Enjoy my #reintroduction.

Hi I’m Zero (they/them). I’m your local #enby #cyborg (if you live in #Alberta #Canada that is)

You’ll find me posting here about anything that interests me, from #politics (#communist) to #religion (#atheist), #gaming (#SatisfactoryGame and #Rimworld), #programming (#rustlang), #sysadmin (#debian ftw) and #LGBT topics. also #deaf with #cochlearimplants

See you around!

Usher Syndrome causes varying degrees of progressive deafness and blindness. Many, many advances in diagnosis, remediation, and treatments have improved the outlook for newly diagnosed individuals (including #CochlearImplants for hearing) in recent decades, but there’s no effective treatment for the vision loss yet. Progress with #CRISPR #GeneTherapy #Optogenetics and other areas is impressive and will undoubtedly lead to effective treatments.

Hi everyone - thought I would do a quick one of these #introduction things! I'm George, I work in the gaming space handling paid social and general digital marketing for Frontier (Planet Zoo, Jurassic World Evolution 2, F1 Manager 2022, and more!). I'm profoundly deaf with a cochlear implant which restores a considerable amount of but my directional hearing is wack as I haven't gone bilateral.

I'm here to meet new people and explore this exciting space, especially in the wake of recent Twitter events. I have three cats, an unhealthy paternal obsession with Grogu, and lucked out with both ADHD and autism ✌️

@bmatb Hi! I'm a #queer #nonbinary #scientist who works on #hearing and #audiology research. I am loving this #TwitterMigration and enjoying learning the new culture and norms here.

If you follow, I promise info about #ear stuff (#hearingaids, #hearingloss, #cochlearimplants) and #neuroscience tidbits generally. Also #weird stuff, #cats, #games, #gender, #portland, #mentalHealth, #glutenFree, #cognition, #philosophy, #linguistics, #programming, #gamedev, #disability, and #work

Unlike hearing aids, #CochlearImplants stimulate the auditory nerve directly. But can people with cochlear implants also recognise emotions in voices? This has now been investigated in a study @[email protected], led by Celina von Eiff as part of her PhD.
