Deafness is known for being an invisible disability, which can lead to exclusion and loneliness. According to a Human Rights Watch article from 2019, 70 million deaf people across the world use sign language to communicate. Well sign singers take that one step further, by adapting song lyrics into sign language for the deaf and hard of hearing. In addition to making entertainment more accessible to deaf people and the hard of hearing, this musical activity singing is also a form of artistic expression in its own right. Sign singing can be just as diverse as vocal singing, demonstrating great creativity. There are many different forms, like rap signing, slow signing and hard signing. How do sign singers translate music? Where does it come from? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Joe had watched a documentary film that featured a deaf man who, after a CE-5 meditation, said his hearing was restored and that he no longer needed hearing aids. Joe, who also is partially deaf, decided then he would try CE-5 to see if he could be helped. The cure Joe hoped for never came.

I love listening to music. As a music lover, nothing enhances my own listening experience as much as a good set of ear buds and a volume setting that I'm sure is higher than it should be. Lately, my difficulty hearing conversations when there's ambient noise have me wishing I could rewind to turn down the volume that I'm sure now effects my hearing as I've gotten older. The World Health Organization tell us that globally, thirty-four million children have deafness or hearing loss, of which sixty percent of the cases are due to preventable causes. As you might expect much of this could be mitigated if we would intervene when our children are younger, teaching them to practice safe listening habits, such as using headphones or earbuds less frequently, and turning down the volume. Parents, you are responsible for stewarding your child's health, including their hearing, to the glory of God, so that they might make choices now that lead to life-long hearing health.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) an estimated 1.3 billion people or 16% of the global population have a significant disability. A disability is a condition that can be mental or physical, and can affect a person's vision, movement, thinking, learning, communication, hearing, mental health or social relationships. However, not all disabilities are the same. Some disabilities are genetic, passed down from generation to generation, while others may have been caused by an incident out of the person's control.

When Do Pathological Signs Appear? Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells in MDPL Syndrome

Aging-US

BUFFALO, NY- January 14, 2025 – A new #research paper was #published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 16, Issue 22 on November 26, 2024, entitled “When do the pathological signs become evident? Study of human mesenchymal stem cells in MDPL syndrome.” Researchers from the University of Rome Tor Vergata, Fondazione Policlinico Tor Vergata, Roma Tre University, and Meyer Children's Hospital IRCCS have identified early cellular changes associated with Mandibular Hypoplasia, Deafness, Progeroid Features, and Lipodystrophy (MDPL) syndrome, a rare genetic aging disorder caused by a mutation in the POLD1 gene. MDPL leads to fat loss, distinct facial features, and metabolic disturbances. This study aimed to better understand how MDPL progresses at the cellular level. MDPL syndrome is extremely rare, with only a few documented cases worldwide, making it difficult to study. To investigate the disease, researchers Spitalieri Paola, Guerrieri Lara, Murdocca Michela, Di Cesare Silvia, Maccaroni Serena, Pecorari Rosalba, Nardone Anna Maria, Candi Eleonora, Colasuonno Fiorella, Gori Giulia, Traficante Giovanna, Novelli Giuseppe, and Sangiuolo Federica, converted skin cells from three female MDPL patients and two healthy donors into human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). These hiPSCs were then transformed into mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), cells that can form tissues like bone and fat, which are primarily affected in MDPL syndrome. The study revealed that MSCs from MDPL patients exhibited signs of premature aging much earlier than expected. The cells had irregular shapes, grew at a slower rate, and showed higher levels of cellular stress. “These cells differentiate with lower efficiency, proliferate more slowly and have abnormal mitochondrial activity with increased production of ROS. Furthermore, the telomeres show evident shortening.” All the findings suggest that aging-related changes may occur long before patients display visible symptoms of the disease. This highlights the need for early diagnosis and intervention, which could delay or even prevent the most debilitating effects of MDPL syndrome. In summary, this study offers new perspectives on the initial cellular impacts of MDPL, opening the door for the creation of novel treatments. The findings highlight the potential for personalized therapies and emphasize the critical role of lab-created hiPSCs in advancing research on rare genetic diseases and age-related conditions.

Some Apple AirPod wireless headphones can be used as hearing aids with a new software update. It's a high-profile move that experts applaud, even if they only reach a small portion of the millions of Americans with hearing loss. An estimated 30 million people—1 in 8 Americans over the age of 12—have hearing loss in both ears. Millions would benefit from hearing aids but most have never tried them, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders. Countless others have tried them, but don't use them because of cost, poor quality, poor fit, how they look, or for other reasons. Over the past few years, there's been a push to change that. Two years ago, federal rules changed to allow hearing aids to be sold over the counter, a move that many hoped would bring better and cheaper options to patients. It's unclear yet whether the rule change has helped, experts say. But turning AirPods into hearing aids is the kind of creative move advocates had hoped for. The hearing aid feature is available with AirPods Pro 2 models only and requires an iPhone or iPad to set it up. It starts with built-in tests that will help users determine if they have hearing loss, set up the feature if they do, and set personalized amplification levels. While there are many other earbud-type devices that can function the same way, experts agreed that the AirPods addition is a good one, simply because of the way it could help normalize hearing aids. “It's just mainstream,” said Barbara Kelley, executive director of Hearing Loss Association of America. The ubiquity of AirPods could make people worried about the look of a hearing aid more open to using them. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Well sign singers take that one step further, by adapting song lyrics into sign language for the deaf and hard of hearing. In addition to making entertainment more accessible to deaf people and the hard of hearing, this musical activity singing is also a form of artistic expression in its own right. Sign singing can be just as diverse as vocal singing, demonstrating great creativity. There are many different forms, like rap signing, slow signing and hard signing.

In this episode of the Parent Them Successful Podcast, we uncover what to look for if you believe your child has an undetected hearing defect. In the IEP world, hearing defects, or as IDEA calls it, possible “Hard of Hearing” eligibility, is considered a low-incidence eligibility category. That means that this eligibility category is somewhat rare and special funding is set aside for these students to access equipment and other tools they may need to access the general curriculum. So, if you suspect your child is suffering from a hearing defect, I will share what to look for, misbehaviors that are often misdiagnosed, and treatment options. So, tune in until the end to learn more about what you need to know.
