17.01.2022 Stuttering related organisations around the world have signed a letter of congratulations to President Biden as the first US President who has a stutter. Stutt...ering doesn’t mean we are any less intelligent, nervous or anxious. It just means that our words may take a little longer to get out so please be patient when you meet someone who has a stutter and wait for us to finish our thoughts. The full joint letter Dear Mr President Warm congratulations on your inauguration today from the stuttering community from across the globe. As someone with a stutter, your achievement stands testament to the fact that having a stutter is no reflection upon brains or talent. This is an empowering message for young people who stutter here, and in every continent around the world, and a powerful message to all those who don’t stutter. Stuttering should be no bar to success. You stutter. We stutter. It's how we talk.

16.01.2022 Australia’s first Indigenous surgeon says identifying hearing loss would change lives. Describing himself as a proud Worimi man, Dr Kelvin Kong said early inter...vention such as checking children’s ears at every opportunity would contribute to closing the gap in education, employment and health between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. It would result in more children finishing school, getting jobs and fewer younger people ending up in juvenile justice and jail because they couldn’t understand what was going on. The rate of middle-ear infections causing hearing loss among Indigenous Australians was much worse than among non-Indigenous Australians, said Dr Kong, an ear, nose and throat surgeon in Newcastle, NSW. Otitis media - infections and inflammation of the ears causing glue or runny ears is the most common reason why all young Australian children see a doctor. It is chronic in Indigenous communities due to poverty, overcrowded housing and a mistrust of, or lack of access to, health services. Yet Aboriginal children often suffered in silence, said Dr Kong. That is because, after an eardrum has burst from an ear infection, the pain goes away even if the perforation doesn’t recover. Without a child complaining of ear pain, parents are unaware of the infection, which can get worse, causing hearing loss. Chronic otitis media affects up to 70 per cent of children in remote communities. The World Health Organisation considers it an emergency if the rate is greater than four per cent. Purely from a human rights point of view, [the belief that] a kid born in a first-world nation should have the same opportunity that every other child has is something I’m very passionate about. Tackling hearing loss would require breaking down the silos between health, education and justice, and giving Indigenous and non-Indigenous community workers, GPs and teachers the skills to identify hearing loss early, said Dr Kong. Getting a hearing test is simple, but education and health care access for these kids requires a complex solution. By Julie Power for The Sydney Morning Herald

03.01.2022 One person in six suffers from hearing loss but many wait as long as a decade to seek help, causing potentially worse problems, specialists say. During that se...ven to 10-year period, many who need treatment become more isolated, more anxious and are at increased risk of a number of diseases, including dementia and cardiovascular disease, says Audiology Australia president Barbra Timmer. That means that during this time, their hearing is getting worse, they are probably getting more socially isolated, may be less engaged with their family and friends and may have increased problems with other issues such as balance, cognition etc, she said. The World Health Organization estimates that 40 per cent of people who frequent entertainment venues are at risk of hearing loss. Sydney musician Chris Sommerville, 61, is one of those. Every musician I know has got hearing loss, he said. When I was in my late 40s, I started to get ringing in the ears as a result of years and years of going to see bands and being a part-time musician. What hearing loss does, particularly in a group situation, you tend to say no to a lot of social things because it’s really hard work you miss stuff. In the end, it was like I couldn’t be bothered. I would say anybody, particularly with the current generation of headphone lovers, by the time they are 30 they should visit an audiologist. It’s no big deal, it’s actually really interesting, he said. The old embarrassed guy wearing a hearing aid - those days are over.

02.01.2022 Speech Pathology Australia supports Developmental Language Disorder Awareness Day on Friday 16 October because more light needs to be shed on a hidden condition... that affects on average two children in every classroom. DLD is a condition that causes difficulties with speech, language understanding, communication, and reading (with an associated high risk of dyslexia). Developmental Language Disorder is now the accepted term for language difficulties where the language disorder has no other differentiating or influencing condition (e.g. the absence of Autism, Down Syndrome, Fragile X, etc.). The term DLD describes children who are likely to have a language problem that endures into middle childhood and beyond; without diagnosis and specialist support this condition has a significant impact on their everyday social interactions and schooling. If you are concerned a child you know has DLD, contact a speech pathologist. Find a speech pathologist via the Speech Pathology Australia website.> https://bit.ly/3k4PNjx
