Baby Monitors For Deaf People

The sound of a baby crying is definitely one of the most precious things in life that some parents take for granted. The case is different though with a deaf mother or father. Not being able to hear your little one is upsetting enough. What makes matters worst is the fact that a lack of ability to perceive sound can sometimes put your infant's safety at risk. Luckily, technology has made it possible for manufacturers to create baby monitors for deaf people.

A regular baby monitor alerts parents each time their little bundles of joy need attention. The device usually functions by means of transmitting sound from the baby's room to a portable receiver that can be conveniently placed inside a pocket or strapped around the …show more content…

Aside from making sure that they can provide for their infants' needs, they also have to deal with the fact that they cannot perceive sounds – not even the cries of their own little ones.

The majority of baby monitors designed for people who have hearing impairments are equipped with a vibrating alarm and/or a flashing light system. These added features alert the deaf parent every time the baby is in need of attention.

A number of products on the market also offer other means of alerting deaf parents to the cries of their infants. One particular product consists of receivers that come in two parts: a main clock and a tiny sound sensor. The main clock functions as the sound-alarm system and is equipped with a vibrating rod attachment that should be positioned under the parents' mattress. Each time the baby wails, the alarm system triggers the rod to forewarn and awaken the parents.

Some baby monitors even come with LCD screens that allow you to literally watch over your baby. This is especially valuable to deaf parents since what they lack in hearing, they can make up for in visual

Previously for a Deaf Event I have read the book Deaf Child Crossing by Marlee Matlin. I found it nteresting to notice some aspects in this book about Marlee that are similar in the main character Megan from Deaf Child Crossing. Marlee herself had a sign put in her neighborhood that said "Caution: Deaf Child Crossing" as well as both her and Megan's love for the color purple. It was cool to find connections between both books. I would highly recommend this book for other ASL students.

One of the characters mentioned her reasoning for having her child receive the implant was for academic reasons. She explained how many Deaf Americans often graduate high school with a fourth grade reading ability. The book states these same statistics claiming the average Deaf student who graduates high school at 18 or 19 reads at a fourth-grade reading level. While the woman in the movie indicated her thoughts were the reason for this was due to the deafness, the book does not make that same argument. The book maintains the idea that deafness “imposes no limitations on cognitive capabilities.”

This case study suggests when the child gains their self-confidence, the other children are more likely to accept them. Therefore, if the patient is comfortable with the implant and is not self-conscious about it, then the other children will not be as bothered by it. The deaf culture is a set of social beliefs, values, history, behaviors, and shared institutions of communities that are influenced by deafness. The main use of communication for the deaf is American Sign Language. The deaf culture is against cochlear implants because they believe that if every deaf person gets a cochlear implant then their culture as a whole will be gone.

I attended a deaf bible study that was ran through Calvary Chapel wildwood which is located in Yucaipa California on December 6th, 2015 I enjoyed observing the differences and similarities between the deaf community and what I experience during every day life. My first observation I noticed during the bible study is that the signing seemed to be very fast at times this made me feel lost but, it reminded me of how much I need to continue to learn American Sign Language. Although the gentlemen’s signing seemed to be expedited to me I noticed he signed very artfully as if he was painting a picture with his hands the beauty in his signing was very enjoyable to watch. Another observation I had was looking at the participants how excited they were

Terrorist organizations Terrorism has always attempted to strike fear into innocent people through different tactics; however, no one has taken these people lightly. Terrorism doesn't just have a set of rules they follow they will use any means necessary to accomplish the mission. The groups operate without any morals or standards. Women and children in these certain groups of people aren't the most valuable resource to protect but are much easier to use as human shields and suicide bombers. Through constant persecution from the modern day terrorist group, people began to dig deeper into their past, compare and contrast the terror groups, and analyze the countries who fight the terrorists.

I watched Sound and Fury, a documentary that came out in 2000, centered on the complications of getting the Cochlear Implant, and how Deaf and hearing communities can differ upon the topic. Particularly within one family, brothers along with their wives and parents have a tough time deciding if their Deaf children should undergo such a procedure. They all travel to visit families that are hearing with children who aren’t learning ASL because they have the implant. They visit a Deaf family whose 10-year daughter is the only person in the family to get the implant. They also visit schools focusing on speech to help Deaf children who wear hearing aids and/or got the Cochlear Implant, and visit a Deaf community with a school focused on ASL.

They feel as if they should be ashamed of being deaf and that they need to use a hearing device. Deaf people and the Deaf community use these devices but more than likely they stick to being them. They don’t like going to the audiologist because they don’t have a sense of awareness of who they really are. I think the future looks like for the deaf community is that they will stop using hearing aids. I think this because they don’t like hearing aids and that they will just stick to being deaf and using sign language.

According to the UCSF Medical Center, when trying to communicate with someone who is deaf, keep these few facts in mind; “face the hearing impaired person directly and sit to where the light is bright enough for them to see your face and lips. Speak clearly, slowly, distinctly, but naturally, without shouting or exaggerating mouth movements. Avoid talking too rapidly or using sentences that are too complex. Keep your hands away from your face while talking. Avoid situations where there will be loud sounds when possible.
