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!

A follow-up to a recent podcast involving a Canadian man who tried CE-5 meditation with the hope that non-human intelligent beings would cure his deafness only to be tormented several times per week for five years by terrifying nighttime visitations. The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, was seeking a solution to stop the encounters, reported this week that he now believes the source of his torment is not NHI, but demons. The solution to make it stop, he said, is prayer.Support Extraterrestrial Reality/Quirk Zone on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/c/Extraterrestrial_RealityCheck out my YouTube channel:Quirk Zone - YouTubeExtraterrestrial Reality Book Recommendations:Link to ROSWELL: THE ULTIMATE COLD CASE: CLOSED: https://amzn.to/3O2loSILink to COMMUNION by Whitley Strieber: https://amzn.to/3xuPGqiLink to THE THREAT by David M.

A Canadian man reached out to the podcast recently to discuss his ongoing encounters with non-human intelligent beings. “Joe,” a pseudonym, said several years ago he tried CE-5 meditation in an effort to cure his deafness. 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. Instead, he's been getting visited three or four times per week for the past five years by apparent alien creatures in his bedroom, and he doesn't know what they want from him.Links/Sources:Stop Alien Abductions | Home PageGettysburg Man Conjured 8-to-10-Foot-Tall Shadowy Mantis Alien Into Bedroom During CE-5 Experiment - UFO - Extraterrestrial Reality | Podcast on SpotifySupport Extraterrestrial Reality/Quirk Zone on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/c/Extraterrestrial_RealityCheck out my YouTube channel:Quirk Zone - YouTubeExtraterrestrial Reality Book Recommendations:Link to ROSWELL: THE ULTIMATE COLD CASE: CLOSED: https://amzn.to/3O2loSILink to COMMUNION by Whitley Strieber: https://amzn.to/3xuPGqiLink to THE THREAT by David M.

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.

Gene treatments are being credited with permitting several children born with deafness to hear again. 允许几个患有耳聋的孩子再次听到基因治疗。 Gene therapy is a medical treatment that aims to change a few of a patient's genes to cure a genetic disease. 基因治疗是一种医疗，旨在改变一些患者的基因来治愈遗传疾病。 A small study recently published in The Lancet reported improvements in the hearing in five of six children who were treated in China. 最近在《柳叶刀》上发表的一项小型研究报告说，在中国接受治疗的六名儿童中有五名听证会有所改善。 Around the same time, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in the U.S. eastern state of Pennsylvania announced similar improvements in an 11-year-old boy treated there. And earlier, Chinese researchers published a study showing similar improvements in two other children. 大约在同一时间，美国东部宾夕法尼亚州的费城儿童医院宣布在那里接受治疗的11岁男孩进行了类似的改善。 早些时候，中国研究人员发表了一项研究，显示了另外两个孩子的相似改善。 The experimental methods, or therapies, target only one rare condition. But scientists say similar treatments could someday help many more children with other kinds of deafness caused by genes. 实验方法或疗法仅针对一种罕见条件。 但是科学家说，有一天类似的治疗可能会帮助更多的儿童患有基因引起的其他耳聋。 Around the world, 34 million children have deafness or hearing loss. And information from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says genes are responsible for up to 60 percent of cases. 在世界各地，有3400万儿童有耳聋或听力损失。 美国疾病控制与预防中心的信息说，基因最多造成60％的病例。 Deafness caused by genes is passed down from parents to children. It is called hereditary deafness. It is the latest condition scientists are targeting with gene therapy. Gene therapy is already approved to treat illnesses such as sickle cell disease and severe hemophilia. 由基因引起的耳聋从父母传给孩子。 这被称为遗传性耳聋。 这是科学家使用基因治疗的最新疾病。 基因疗法已经被批准用于治疗诸如镰状细胞疾病和严重血友病之类的疾病。 Children with hereditary deafness often get a device called a cochlear implant that helps them hear sound. 具有遗传性耳聋的孩子通常会得到一种称为人工耳蜗的设备，该设备可以帮助他们听到声音。“No treatment could reverse hearing loss…That's why we were always trying to develop a therapy,” said Zheng-Yi Chen of Boston's Mass Eye and Ear, a treatment center for eye and ear problems. He is a writer of the study published in The Lancet. “We couldn't be more happy or excited about the results.” “没有治疗可以逆转听力的损失……这就是为什么我们总是试图开发一种疗法的原因，”波士顿大众眼睛和耳朵的郑杨说。 他是该研究发表在柳叶刀上的作者。 “我们对结果感到高兴或兴奋。”The team recorded videos of patients. One shows a baby, who formerly could not hear at all, looking back in response to a doctor's words six weeks after treatment. Another shows a little girl 13 weeks after treatment repeating father, mother, grandmother, sister, and “I love you.”团队录制了病人的视频。 一个人显示了一个婴儿，他以前根本听不到，在治疗六周后回顾一下医生的话。 另一个人在治疗后13周表明了一个小女孩，重复父亲，母亲，祖母，姐姐和“我爱你”。 All the children in the experiments have a condition that is believed to cause two to eight percent of hereditary deafness. It is caused by changes in a gene responsible for an inner ear protein called otoferlin, which helps hair cells send sound signals to the brain.实验中的所有孩子都有一种据信造成遗传性耳聋的二至8％的疾病。 它是由负责内耳蛋白的基因变化引起的，该蛋白称为Otoferlin，该蛋白可以帮助毛细胞向大脑发送声学信号。
Tom Staniford talks about living with the MDP syndrome, an extremely rare genetic condition. MDP syndrome includes Mandibula hypoplasia, Deafness, and Progeroid features amongst its widespread features. Tom developed Type 2 diabetes as a teenager because of a loss of fat under the skin (lipodystrophy) despite being very thin and active. Tom has used his communication and media skills to help other people with MDP syndrome get diagnosed and receive the right care.Send us a text

Send us a textJulie Reynolds describes how she gradually lost her hearing in her 30's and developed diabetes in her 40's these 2 conditions also developed in in her mother, her children and other maternal relative. This led to a diagnosis of maternally inherited diabetes and deafness that results from a change in the mitochondrial DNA. Kash Patel explains the science between diabetes, deafness and a maternal inheritance and why there is a lot of variation in the presence and severity of clinical features

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. In this episode of Exploring Ethics, Professor Joseph Stramondo will discuss the narrative, identity and ethics of choosing disability.

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.

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!

Audio recordingSermon manuscript:If you can imagine what it would be like to be deaf and unable to speak, then you might understand why Jesus said “Ephphatha,” which means “be opened” in our Gospel reading. Deafness and muteness close a person in on himself. It is difficult to take in the thoughts of others because you cannot hear them speaking. It is difficult to communicate one's own thoughts because the speaking is not clear. Hearing well and speaking well can easily be taken for granted. We don't know a good thing until it's gone. Restoring losses like blindness, deafness, lameness, or muteness dramatically improves people's lives. Our Old Testament reading from Isaiah 35 talks about changing lives for the better. Isaiah lived more than 700 years before Christ, but he talks about things that Jesus did: “The eyes of the blind will be opened, the ears of the deaf unstopped; the lame man shall leap like a dear, and the tongue of the mute will sing for joy.” Jesus did many miracles having to do with precisely these ailments. Think of how their lives were changed for the better. There are several videos on the Internet that show something similar. Perhaps you've seen them. The videos show little kids getting glasses for the first time, or hearing aids or implants for the first time. These kids already know mom and dad, but they had never seen them clearly or heard them clearly. The first time they can see or hear they are filled with awe. Joy comes over their faces. Sometimes there are tears. The world opens up for them. That's life and liveliness. It is as Jesus said, “I came so that you may have life, and have it more abundantly.” Jesus's bringing of abundant life is, again, fulfilling what Isaiah wrote. All of Isaiah 35 is about the restoration of life that the Christ brings about. Dry, dead, and barren places like the desert will come to life and bloom. Fraud, violence, and death will be no more. The redeemed will enter into Zion with singing. Everlasting joy shall be upon their heads. What features most prominently in Isaiah 35, however, is life with God. It says, “They shall see the glory of the Lord, the majesty of our God.” We heard at the beginning of our Old Testament reading these words, “Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who have an anxious heart, ‘Be strong, fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.'” Those are bracing words if you have the guts to believe them. “You will see God,” and “God is coming for you.” If you think about it, isn't it the case that we need to be “opened up,” so to speak, to this reality of God—that we should see him, that he's coming for us? Blind people need to be opened up to the reality of seeing. Deaf people need to be opened up to the reality of hearing. It's not like sights and sounds don't exist when someone is blind or deaf, it's just that they cannot perceive what's actually there. So it is with God. Our inability or unwillingness to acknowledge him doesn't mean that he doesn't exist. To no longer be severely hampered—to no longer be blind, deaf, lame, and mute when it comes to God—requires a miracle along the lines of the man whom Jesus helped in our Gospel reading. We need to be opened up, otherwise we won't even know what we are missing. So it can be also for those who are physically blind, deaf, lame, or mute. Those conditions can be lived with. They are not fatal. It's just that large swaths of reality and joy are withheld. We can be that way with God too. In fact, that is our natural predisposition. We by nature are closed off from God, and we think that's just normal. Consider your daily routine. It's so easy to go through an entire day without hardly giving a single thought towards God. We just follow our routine: Get up, make coffee, take a shower, go to work or school, come home, watch Netflix, go to bed. God is there the whole time, but we have nothing to do with him. It's as though we were blind, deaf, lame, and mute towards him without even knowing it. I could almost see Jesus groaning over us like he did with the man in our Gospel reading. “Wake up you sleepy head!” I could see Jesus saying to us, “Be opened.” Life is more than food and drink. Life is more than work and vacation. Life is more than amusing ourselves to death. We can be as unthinking and uncaring as livestock, consuming what's given to us, oblivious to the coming slaughter. That's not how we are to be. We are much greater than the other animals. We have been made in the image of God. That makes us capable of high and divine things that we should take in, consider, and interact with. We can know things like truth, justice, mercy, peace, sacrifice, hope. On top of all these things we can even know God. Now, I can hear some critics saying that all that stuff about truth, mercy, and so on is a waste of time and money. There are a lot of people—the most powerful people in our society—who think that jobs, money, business, technology, and so on are the only things that matter. All that other stuff is too high-falutin'. These people usually pride themselves for their practicality and for living in the real world. They're wrong! They don't live in the real world. They've made for themselves a world that doesn't have a Creator in it who daily and richly provides me with all that I need. The real world has God in it. The real world has God's commands and curses, his promises and blessings. Just because a person is unable or unwilling to acknowledge that, doesn't make it so. Imagine if there were a blind man who didn't believe that such a thing as sight exists. He's utterly convinced of that because he's never experienced it. Thus this arrogant man would like to impose his lack and his poverty on everyone else. So it is with those who scoff at God's Word, who scoff at Jesus's sacraments, who scoff at truth, love, beauty, and so on. Why? Because it's work that's important. Or amusements are important. Or it's simply a matter of being anesthetized and vegging out to pass the time. I know a lot of people like this. I know myself. I know that I can very easily pass my days without much thought regarding God. I know, as another example, that I do not love God with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my strength, and with all my mind. A spiritually blind person might respond, “Well, no one can do that, so who cares?” But what if we really are supposed to? What if we really can? What if Jesus was sent to cure our blindness? What if Jesus is meant to open up in us a closed-off-ness that we just thought was normal? Jesus says, “I came that you may have life, and have it more abundantly.” Jesus turns back the curses that hamper life. He heals physical blindness, deafness, and so on. Everyone can see the goodness of that. What is not realized as frequently is that Jesus opens us up spiritually to things we wouldn't otherwise know. We wouldn't otherwise know these things, because these things are only learned from the prophets, from Jesus, and from the apostles. Just as the blind man doesn't know what it means to see until sight is given, so also we do not know what it is like to know God until Jesus opens us up to that. We can know God by his Word. We can learn how to live with him in his creation from the Psalms. We can learn about our future from prophesies like Isaiah 35. We can begin to love God by the power of the Holy Spirit. We can think about God more often than never or twice a day. We can call upon him in prayer. We can restrain ourselves when we know that going further down the path of temptation would bring us into sin. We can begin to live a new life. What some can't see or hear we can begin to see and hear. But, as the apostle says, “Now we see in a mirror dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now we know in part, then we shall know fully, even as we have ben fully known.” Paul is talking about how we only get an inkling in this life. I suspect an experience awaits us that is something like those videos that I mentioned at the beginning of this sermon. Those little kids never knew that they could see so well until the first time those glasses were put on their faces. They didn't know how beautiful Mom's voice was until they heard it. So it will be also for us. What will it be like to see God? What will it be like to look Jesus in the face? Jesus opens us up to this hope with his Gospel. No one has seen God except Jesus who came from God. And yet, because of Jesus, we will see God in his holiness and splendor. I suspect that just a moment of that will contain more living in it than our entire life here below. Therefore, do not be deceived. Don't be tricked out of this healing. Jesus warns us against following those who are blind: “If the blind lead the blind, they will both fall into the pit.” Do not be blind to God. Do not be blind to truth, love, righteousness, sin, justice, redemption, and many other spiritual things. Our world is full of people who say that none of that matters. They are blind. They are closed in on themselves. “Ephphatha!” Be opened to God and to one another. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

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.
