Navigating resources for hearing loss.

Susan and Jim Gallo of Atlanta, Georgia donate to AG Bell annually as a way to give back in thanks for all the help their daughter Elizabeth received over the years.

The Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing opens up doors for children and their families seeking options.

Finding the right gift can be stressful. To hopefully make it a little easier, here are some gift ideas for people with hearing loss, from toddlers on up. Now you can focus on the joy of giving!

Children born to adults who are deaf and hard of hearing know – a lot – about the community. In this series, we talk with families who have navigated the scenario and have served as unofficial educators to the public.

When society is masked, people who rely on lipreading are at a disadvantage. Two deaf researchers looked into this phenomenon. Their study on lipreading and masks will soon be published in the Journal of Psychosocial and Mental Health Nursing.

Whether it’s working in disability support or as a teacher of the deaf, some AG Bell members have found themselves in jobs they may not have originally envisioned. But they know without a doubt it’s where they’re meant to be.

After 45+ years as an architect, Bob Nicol became a vineyard owner, kind of by default. He had decided to move north from Oakland, California to Napa when he found a dream residence designed by Frank Lloyd Wright’s office. It had a loft perfect for architecture work. It also happened to sit on 20 acres of vineyards.

I was born profoundly deaf. I wear a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the other. As a bimodal user, my hearing aid and cochlear implant have been separate devices. Now, with the introduction of the Phonak Naida Link M, they can be linked.
In August 2021, I upgraded my cochlear implant processor to the Advanced Bionics Naida CI M (M for the Marvel platform). I also switched out my Phonak Naida to the Link M so I could benefit from the “surround sound.” This is my review.

Many people who are deaf find themselves professional advocates in one form or another. Meet three of them: Niels-Henrik Hansen, Elizabeth Ralston, and Caitlin Parton.
