Profoundly #deaf man awarded £50K after mistreatment by job centre staff

‘Although he had not met him and knew little of his background, the official advised colleagues that Rimmer’s deafness was not a significant barrier to work and suggested his complaints about lack of deaf-friendly support were a way of trying to wilfully “sabotage” efforts to help him find a job.’

Don’t agree with everything in article, but this I do:

‘It’s important to be hopeful and to welcome medical advances. But what many people really want is much simpler: it’s funding for classes for parents; it’s a commitment from the government to allocate more resources to those with hearing loss, and it’s visibility in the media and correct representation in culture’

? Wow, the bleak moment in The Breakup Lists was even worse than I expected, though actually worked really well with the story arc. I found it overall a good read, though too repetitious and with a bit of a deus ex machina ending; I would've like to see the main character really pursue what he wanted.

Has what seems like very good representation, is very , and very geeky about high school theater. And a sweet romance.

#TIL about Emerson Romero, a Cuban-American silent film actor, who "developed the first technique to provide captions for sound films, making them accessible for the deaf and hard of hearing".

"When sound films ("talkies") were introduced in 1927, deaf people were no longer considered potential actors; studios no longer included intertitles and deaf people were shut out of enjoying movies."

Just seen another person with a cochlear implant at the indie cinema and it's about bloody time 😀 I've been working my ass off trying to increase awareness that the cinema do a load of subtitled showings.

More deafies please....

I am #deaf but my world is a hearing one.

I rely on the visual not the auditory.

The word ,lip-reading‘ implies reading like reading a book whose text is legible and clear.

But the human face isn‘t a book and lip-reading isn‘t reading.

‘As you go about your business – shopping, walking, playing a sport, riding a subway – someone may notice that glint of silver behind your ear, or that almost-imperceptible plastic wire entering the pinna…’

And this is when the magic happens. The fact someone can see your hearing aid makes you an advocate for addressing your hearing loss.

Olin eilen asinantuntijoiden tapaamisessa, jossa edustin Suomen Kuurosokeat ry:tä ja mulla oli mukana 2 viittomakielen tulkkia.

Jossain vaiheessa ohjelmaa yllättäen esitetään videotallenne, johon ei ollut tekstitystä tarjolla. Videotallenteesta ei ollut mainintaa ennakkoon ohjelmassa. Kelan linjausta noudattavat tulkit eivät voineet tulkata kyseistä videotallennetta. Soitto Kelaan ei helpottanut asiaa. Poikkeuslupaa tulkkaukseen ei saatu.

Viittomakielen tulkin saamisen vaikeudet Suomessa 2

Kun ei saa tulkkeja, niin opiskelu ja työnteko on lähes mahdotonta joillain aloilla. Ja ainoa taho, joka voi korjata asian, on Kela. Tällä hetkellä on tilanne, että Kela haluaa tieten tähden heikentää tätä kyseistä palvelua. Samalla se heikentää kuulovammaisten ihmisoikeutta, oikeutta olla osa yhteiskuntaa.

"Älä tulkkaa Veeralle" pyynnöt

Tämä on yllättävän yleistä. Monet pyytävät suoraan viittomakielen tulkiltani ettei tulkkaisi mulle mm. näistä asioista:

  • ei Veera tämmöstä tietoa tarvitse
  • kirosanat
  • intiimit jutut lounaspöydällä (julkinen paikka)
  • läpät tai muut random jutut, jotka rikkovat illuusion kyseisestä henkilöstä

Avasin edellisessä postauksesta audismi termiä ja nyt laitan tänne sarjapostauksena omasta kokemuksestani audismista. Tarkoituksena on herättää ihmisiä ajattelemaan ja toimimaan tästä eteenpäin toisin ja inhimillisemmin kuuroja ja huonokuuloisia kohtaan. ❤️ 🥺 🙏

Viime päivinä on kohistu somessa Kelan uudesta linjauksesta ja kaiken tämän takana on järjestelmällinen audismi.

"Audismi on termi, jota käytetään kuvaamaan kuurojen ja huonokuuloisten syrjintää. Se voi myös tarkoittaa tiettyjä stereotypioita kuuroista ja huonokuuloisista. Audismissa voidaan esimerkiksi olettaa, että kuulevien kulttuuriset tavat ovat jollain tapaa kuurojen tai viittomakielisten kulttuurisia tapoja parempia. Toisaalta voidaan ajatella, että kuurot ovat jollain tapaa kuulevia kyvyttömämpiä." -Wikipedia

I had one of those big decisions today that suddenly come out of nowhere that I had to decide there and then.

If you’ve been following me for a while you’ll know that when I’m not talking politics and retrofit, I’m often to be found discussing issues to do with being #deaf.

I’ve worn NHS hearing since the age of six. They have enabled me to have an amazing quality of life. I cannot imagine life without them. I am forever grateful.

But today I was put in a quandary…

Olen täysin kuuro ja kuuntelen musiikkia useammalla eri tavalla.

Mä pystyn myös kuuntelemaan tuntoaistin avulla musiikkia. Alla listattuna eri tapoja 👇🏻

🖐🏻 Käsi pianon tai akustisen kitaran päällä
🖐🏻 Pidän ilmapalloa sylissä, pallo värisee musiikin tahtiin
🖐🏻 Sisäkorvaistutteilla kuuntelen musiikkia audiona

Mä oon kaksikielinen. Viiton suomalaista viittomakieltä ja puhun suomea.

Lapsuuteni oli aika erikoinen kielten osalta. Kotona emme juurikaan viittoneet lainkaan perheen kesken ja kun olin arkipäivinä toisessa kaupungissa peruskoulussa, niin siellä viitoin pelkästään ja enkä puhunut lähes ollenkaan. Tämä aiheutti osaltaan jonkinlaisen persoonan kahtiajakautumisen. Kotona olin eri ihminen kuin koulussa/asuntolassa kieli-identiteetin vuoksi.

Vaikka kotona emme viittoneet, kävi meillä kuitenkin viittomakielen opettaja opettamassa minulle suomalaista viittomakieltä, kun olin hirmu pieni. Minulla oli myös samaan aikaan kuulokojeet käytössä ja yritin siinä sitten opetella puhumaankin.
