14.01.2022 This is a bit of helpful research - done by a mum (a medical doctor with three deaf kids) on the different types of masks and their affect on both signed and spoken communication.

13.01.2022 Are you a parent or carer? Has your child experienced hearing loss related to Cytomegalovirus (CMV)? Researchers at the Perth Childrens Hospital (PCH) are seek...ing your input to improve care and health outcomes for children who have CMV-related hearing loss. A research study is planned to better understand CMV and to determine how often it causes problems for babies in WA. Researchers will also look at whether early testing of infants with CMV-related hearing loss can improve their health outcomes and the healthcare they receive. Researchers are looking for parents or carers of affected children to contribute advice to the study based on your experience of having a child with CMV- related hearing loss.

Kara Brown posted this sn...ap to Aussie Deaf Kids Plus, saying she "wanted to share as its difficult to find things that are relatable to boys [with hearing loss]" Other dolls in the range include one with a vision impairment, one who is in a wheelchair, and one with a cane. We hope the line brings out more dolls so all children with disabilities can feel represented.

06.01.2022 There are many fun things you can do at home to prepare your child for school. Parent Centre suggests that children will do well in school when their parents understand the teaching and learning that happens in school, and that parents can support their child's learning at home if they understand what happens in the classroom.

04.01.2022 Did you know... The new iPhone IOS update has sound alerts for: Babies crying... Sirens Fire Smoke Door bells Etc... -Go into settings -Accessibility -Sound Recognition -Chose the sounds I just enabled it yesterday and It just alerted me of a siren at 4am. I have my phone silenced (why?) but the screen brightness woke me up. Interesting... It never once alerted me during the day when I had my CI on. I guess it’s trial and error time to see what works and doesn’t work well. I am wondering if it vibrates and or vibrates my Apple Watch too? I’d have to wear it at night but that’s easy enough.
