   ERIC BRODY
   
   DEAF/HARD OF HEARING ADVOCATE, ASSISTED TECHNOLOGY CONSULTANT, ASL INSTRUCTOR
   
   Born hard of hearing and accustomed to wearing a single hearing aid, Eric has
   faced challenges in reconciling his identity and finding his place in
   society. At the age of 27, his perspective shifted when he encountered a book
   discussing the experiences of Deaf/Hard of Hearing individuals caught between
   two worlds. This led him to embrace American Sign Language and forge
   connections within...

   JULIE HAYES-NADLER
   
   ADVOCATE FOR THE HARD OF HEARING AND LATE DEAFENED COMMUNITY
   
   Julie’s experience with hearing loss began early in life. As a child, she
   lost hearing in one ear and grew up with single-sided deafness. Despite this
   challenge, she did well in her academic and social pursuits, showing her
   resilience from a young age.
   
   In her 30s, Julie was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease, a chronic inner ear
   disorder that further complicated her hearing issues. By her late 50s, she
   was well on the course to losing most of her hearing in her...

   What am I ? What does Deaf, Hard of Hearing, Hearing-Impaired and all these
   terms mean?
   2024年6月19日
   Too often I meet people who are confused as to what am I and which label do I
   apply to myself? Hearing loss encompasses a wide range of experiences and
   degrees, leading to various terms that describe different conditions within
   this spectrum. Understanding these terms is crucial for...

   Do I Need to Learn Sign Language
   2024年6月18日
   Short answer is no, you do not need to learn sign language if you are losing
   your hearing or living with someone who is but you might want to consider it.
   I was completely resistant to learning ASL when I started to lose my hearing.
   It wasn’t until about 2 years into the process that I finally...

   How Can I Advocate for Myself With Friends and Family?
   2024年6月14日
   This is such a great question and the truth is that learning to advocate for
   yourself is a process. It is a process rooted in the belief that you have a
   right to engage in communication that works for you and that communication is
   not all on you, but is between you and another. It is not just...

   Why We Need to Be Open About our Loss Of Hearing
   2024年6月2日
   Even though it usually backfires, it’s common for us to try to hide our
   hearing loss. Growing up I was embarrassed about my single-sided deafness and
   tried to keep it hidden but now as I think back as an adult I’m still not
   sure why. For years, very few people knew I could only hear from my right...
