Big Ocean are the world's first K-Pop boy band with hearing loss. Each of the three members; Jiseok, PJ and Chanyeon, has a different level of hearing. They use hearing aids and cochlear implants to hear sounds and use lip reading for communication. The band use metronomes that display lights and smartwatches that communicate the beat through vibrations to help them when dancing. And they have used AI technology trained with the members' voice data to help them hit the correct pitch. As part of their first European tour, they came into the What in the World studio to chat to us about the challenges they've faced and overcome and how the deaf community has responded to them. We also hear from Big Ocean fan or PADO (which means wave in Korean) Jade Dunne who is a musician and has progressive hearing loss, on how the band has inspired her. Big Ocean incorporate Korean Sign Language, American Sign Language and International Sign into their choreography. Gavin Songer from the UK charity the National Deaf Children's Society explains what other tech there is to help people with hearing loss experience music.You can also watch the video of this interview on YouTube - search for What in the World or click here for our playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz_B0PFGIn4eMOlGZclzdcHmv7s8BFQE6Instagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: whatintheworld@bbc.co.uk WhatsApp: +44 330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: Hannah Gelbart Producers: Benita Barden and Julia Ross-Roy Video Journalist: Beatrice Guzzardi Editor: Verity Wilde

Portland’s Third Angle New Music will debut a new commissioned piece at its upcoming show on April 16 at OMSI’s Kendall Planetarium. The composition, called “Spheres,” was written for percussion quartet and three American Sign Language performers.

In this engaging episode, Elissa joins our host, Darleen Mahoney, to explore the nuanced challenges faced by seniors with hearing loss.Together, they navigate the critical importance of keeping seniors connected, not just for social interaction but for emotional well-being and cognitive health. Elissa sheds light on the profound effect that isolation resulting from impaired communication can have, diminishing one's world and impacting safety, especially during events like Florida's frequent hurricanes. She emphasizes the powerful role that technology and adaptive devices play in bridging communication gaps, from amplified phones to captioning tools. They also tackle the often-overlooked societal stigma surrounding hearing aids, pushing for a cultural shift towards normalizing their use as we have with eyeglasses.Packed with heartfelt anecdotes, professional insights, and pragmatic advice, this episode is a treasure trove of information for those seeking to understand and improve communication for the hearing impaired. Whether it's advocating for better acceptance of hearing loss aids or knowing where to access state resources, Elissa and Darleen provide listeners with the tools and motivation to ensure no one has to navigate the world without hearing the voices of those they love.

In this episode, I address a question about the role of verbal communication in CCPT. Research shows that play therapy is effective even when the therapist and child don't speak the same language, yet verbal interaction is a key part of the process. I explain how both can be true by examining the role of the therapeutic relationship and how verbal responses support emotional growth, self-regulation, and self-esteem. I also discuss a therapist's experience working with a deaf child who communicates using American Sign Language. We explore whether fluency in a child's language is necessary, the potential impact of using an interpreter, and how to navigate language barriers while maintaining the integrity of the therapeutic relationship.

Biographical Bytes from Bala: Laurel Hill West Stories #039 for mid-December 2024 - released early for the Holiday season   Henry Winter Syle went deaf as a child and soon abandoned speech.  He used American Sign Language and the written word to share his ideas with the deaf world, many of whom had been excluded from religious ceremonies for centuries because it was thought they could not enter heaven.  Although Syle's career was cut short by an early death, he is recognized as a saint of the Episcopal Church, with a feast day on August 26th shared with another pioneer of teaching the deaf Thomas Gallaudet.  Syle is interred in the shadow of the Betz mausoleum in the Summit Section of Laurel Hill West.

Jisel Soleil Ayon (Hamilton's Philip Tour) is here for two fun, authentic, and very honest episodes. Jisel grew up watching old musicals and performing as a kid but then she hit college where they do the ridiculous thing of making teenagers pick a major?! Insanity! While Jisel loved performing, she also wanted a job where she could make a living, so she took her passion for American Sign Language and studied speech pathology and speech therapy. During her second semester, she was cast as Daniela in In the Heights and everything changed. She switched schools, focused on performing, and her career has been thriving since she graduated. Jisel speaks very candidly about her initial apprehension towards Hamilton, her unexpected casting as a standby for the Schuyler sisters, and how being on tour as an offstage cover can actually be very lonely, especially for a self described "extroverted extrovert." /// Jisel's Linktree Mixed in the Arts Podcast Mixed in the Arts on Patreon /// Gillian's Website The Hamilcast on Twitter The Hamilcast on Instagram Join the Patreon Peeps

When Krystal first started work at a Virginia coffee shop, she served a customer named Ibby. Because Ibby is hearing impaired, he placed his order using a typed note on his phone. After Krystal learned Ibby was a regular customer, she determined to serve him better by learning enough American Sign Language so he could place his order without writing it down. In a small way, Krystal showed Ibby the kind of love and service Peter encourages us all to offer one another. In his letter to believers in Jesus who’d been scattered and exiled, Peter indicates that they ought to “love each other deeply” and use their gifts “to serve others” (1 Peter 4:8, 10). Whatever skills and abilities He’s equipped us with are gifts we can use to benefit others. As we do, our words and actions can bring honor to God. Peter’s words were especially important to those he wrote to, for they were experiencing a season of pain and isolation. He encouraged them to serve one another during the time of distress to help them bear up under their trials. Though we may not know the specific pain another person experiences, God can help us to show empathy, and graciously and cheerfully serve one another with our words, resources, and abilities. May God help us serve others as a reflection of His love.

Greg answers questions about helping trauma survivors think through their trauma biblically, giving to the point where your family has to go without things they need, passages about God loving individuals, and assumptions about communication to bring to the study of language.   Topics: In light of the existence of the soul, do you have any advice on how to help trauma survivors think through what they've experienced biblically and see things from God's perspective? (03:00) What are your thoughts on people giving above and beyond a tithe to the church to the point where the family has to go without things they need? (25:00) Are there any passages that talk about God loving individuals personally as opposed to loving everyone in a general way? (36:00) What assumptions about communication do we need to bring to the study of language, particularly to American Sign Language and other sign languages? (46:00)   Mentioned on the Show:  Interview: J.P. Moreland – The Substance of Consciousness
