Lipreading the dregs of history | I look so I can hear....

https://funnyoldlife.wordpress.com/2015/07/19/lipreading-the-dregs-of-history

I look so I can hear…. Living with a hearing loss in London, UK. Lipreading the dregs of history. It is with great disappointment that we have seen a video from the Royal Archives of the Queen and Queen Mother published in the newspapers with an attempted lipreading translation of the footage. Lipreading is not a reliable form of evidence in court and great care must be taken when using it. One of our lipreaders was involved in a quality check of the lipreading skills of Jessica Rees. Independent...We ha...

HLAA Convention 2015 | I look so I can hear....

https://funnyoldlife.wordpress.com/2015/06/28/hlaa-convention-2015

I look so I can hear…. Living with a hearing loss in London, UK. We attended the HLAA convention in St Louis. And we had such fun! It was great to see many old friends again and catch up on our amazing cyborg-ness. The photo shows the Japanese delegation, I was so pleased to be able to practice my Japanese. 今日は! One of them kept asking why Jacob. The process of closed captioning has been kept hidden from the country’s inhabitants, and in order for the majority of the society to be kept out of the k...

Normal is Boring: Bits and Pieces

http://dave-normalisboring.blogspot.com/2010/10/bits-and-pieces.html

Musings through filtered ears. Friday, October 22, 2010. If I had to make a decision today which program I like best, I would choose HiRes-S. But I have until Tuesday to continue experimenting. On Tuesday, the audiologist will build onto the program with the setting I'm most comfortable with. As we get more advanced and add more power, things will get louder and clearer. I want a wider IDR!

Normal is Boring: Stepping it up!

http://dave-normalisboring.blogspot.com/2010/10/stepping-it-up.html

Musings through filtered ears. Wednesday, October 27, 2010. I went for my 3rd mapping yesterday, and what a step up! I knew I was ready for another visit. I kept increasing the volume over the weekend. I was at the point on Sunday where I couldn't raise it any higher - I had maxed out my current settings. My brain wanted MORE and I couldn't give it more. But yesterday.I got more. My current programs are:. Whats the 50/50 and 30/70 mean? October 28, 2010 at 3:55 AM. Im using 50% external mic, and 50% T-mi...

Normal is Boring: 5 Days Since Activation

http://dave-normalisboring.blogspot.com/2010/10/5-days-since-activation.html

Musings through filtered ears. Monday, October 18, 2010. 5 Days Since Activation. It's been 5 days since I've gotten the hook up, and I have only just scratched the surface. Here's what went down since activation day. More or less the same as Wednesday, the day of activation. Replay after replay of Road Runner cartoons. Beep-Beep, Beep-Beep! And what's really a series of beep-beeps without a million whistles? Program 2 - Hi-Res P - and boy is it stronger! October 19, 2010 at 10:19 PM. I dig amateur photo...

Normal is Boring: Rehab

http://dave-normalisboring.blogspot.com/2010/11/rehab.html

Musings through filtered ears. Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Hello My name is Dave and I am . bionic.". The group shouts in unison. "Hi Dave! Ok, maybe that's not what really happened at "rehab," but dammit, it should have! I wanted the donuts and bad coffee and anonymous strangers congratulating me on my 3 weeks of new hearing. Unfortunately, if I want *that* kind of a rehab session, I'll have to start drinking or taking illegal substances. Oh well.there's always next year. I dig amateur photography and ho...

Normal is Boring: Flickers

http://dave-normalisboring.blogspot.com/2011/02/flickers.html

Musings through filtered ears. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. Those of you who know me personally are aware that I am - how can I put this delicately - obsessed with film. More than obsessed, really. For some, it might appear to be a bit disturbing. Clearly, it's a passion of mine. Next to spending time with my family, there's nothing else I'd rather be doing than watching a flick or a really good television show. Since I've recently discovered blogging, I thought it would be a good time to reinvent my de...

Normal is Boring: Thumbprints and Dead People

http://dave-normalisboring.blogspot.com/2011/02/thumbprints-and-dead-people.html

Musings through filtered ears. Thursday, February 17, 2011. Thumbprints and Dead People. The Hearing Journey website, a place where CI recipients can talk, share their experiences and practice hearing in the "listening room," has a Thumbprints Placement Test that I have been giving myself every other month to mark my progress. A word is spoken and I have to choose which of the 4 words displayed is the word that is said. These are my scores:. Oct 19 = 58%. Dec 1 = 66%. Feb 17 = 74%. Which I saw in the the...
