Join us at Facebook on.fb.me – amobeethoven.com (I Love Beethoven), Venezuela. One cannot only hear with ones ears. Some people feel the sounds with their skin or with their hearts because their sense of hearing doesn’t function. In the Venezuelan city of Barquisimeto, deaf children not only learn how to play instruments, but also how to sing in sign language. The fact that the children do not hear voices is only one of the many handicaps when one lives at the edge of society. However, at the music school they discover a world that is open to each one of them. The film observes the everyday lives and development of its protagonists in a precise and intimate way. Music as the way out and as a chance for those who practice it. Amo Beethoven (Ich liebe Beethoven) Hören kann man nicht nur mit den Ohren. Manche fühlen die Töne mit der Haut oder mit dem Herzen, weil ihr Hörsinn nicht funktioniert. In der venezolanischen Stadt Barquisimeto lernen gehörlose Kinder nicht nur Instrumente spielen, sondern auch in Gebärdensprache singen. Die Schüler kommen zum großen Teil aus armen Verhältnissen und werden im Rahmen eines Sozialprojekts zu Musikern ausgebildet. Dass die Kinder keine Stimmen hören, ist nur eines von vielen Handicaps, wenn man am Rande der Gesellschaft lebt. Doch in der Musikschule entdecken sie eine Welt, die jedem offen steht. Amo Beethoven No solamente podemos oir con nuestros oidos. Algunas personas sienten los sonidos con la piel o con el corazon pues su sistema …

Closed Captioning for the Deaf or those Hard of Hearing who needs it. Just click on the CC button and it will appear. Thanks to spykexboi for seriously making videos. I just had to make mines because of his videos. Thx 4 the inspiration man. Ah.. haha.. okay just thought this was a video I think viewers should see. I am a bit nervous here. I’m hard of hearing myself and I am not speaking for all HOH out there. I can only speak for myself and those who have similar experiences like mines. Basically what I said was that there’s a lot of assumptions that is out there saying that Hard of Hearing (HOH) people are the same as the Deaf. Assuming that all HOH people know american sign language by heart or are expected to know. Just making a statement that not every single HOH people do know ASL fluently or even use ASL. There are some HOH ppl who grew up in a oral hearing culture who were taught to talk and they’ve been talking all their lives and some of them do not even know any sign at all. So that’s why I want to make this video. Just because you see someone with a hearing aids, don’t assume they know ASL because sometimes they don’t. It’s hard to explain and that’s why I can only speak for myself. Hopefully many more HOH will speak up. I saw a lot of videos out there and I thought I want to be part of that. I hope you do give feedbacks and I hope you like what I have to say. Here we go.. enjoy! OMG.. I can’t believe I’m doing this. lol.. Have a good day people. Listen we …

Auditory disorders in children can be the result of multiple causes. Parents can pass it on to their newly born through sexually transmitted diseases, such as syphilis, HIV and Chlamydia. Sheer genetics is another cause, with auditory impairment being both a recessive and dominant trait. Physical trauma and head injuries can also cause hearing loss. Among many other causes are measles and mumps. Whatever the cause, it’s vitally important to know how to deal with your child’s impairment from the very beginning.

Ten or more states force hospitals to examine an infant’s auditory system prior to being discharged. A baby can be checked as soon as a few hours after birth. So, if your state doesn’t require a test, make sure to request one. It’s crucial to the child’s well-being. The danger is that if parents don’t discover before the age of two or three that a child suffers from hearing problems, studies indicate that his or her speech and learning abilities could be permanently impaired. The simple reason is that it’s difficult to teach a child anything if he or she can’t hear you.

If your new child is found to have auditory issues, the doctor should try to find the cause immediately. The problems could be attributed simply to an ear infection or trapped fluid, which can both be treated by antibiotics. If problems persist, the child must be referred to an ENT doctor and later, if necessary, an audiologist.

However, it’s also possible for hearing problems to develop later in childhood. It could be caused by the side-effect of a medication, a disease or a physical trauma. Usually, the child’s relatives or friends will be the first to notice any problem. The same step should be taken here as with the infant with persistent problems – an ENT doctor, followed by an audiologist. It is possible that surgery to place ear tubes will be necessary.

So, what are the treatment options? Of course, if the auditory loss is severe or total, there are a number of must-dos. The child must work with an auditory specialist or therapist. These professionals are specially trained to help with the child’s cognitive, speech and social skills. Lastly, the entire family must learn sign language in order to be able to communicate with the child.

For children with partial loss, the options are a little brighter. Obviously, there are a wide variety of hearing aids – behind-the-ear, in-the-canal, in-the-ear, etc. The audiologist will suggest to you the best option for your child. However, the child can choose from a variety of fun colors or choose one that matches his or her skin tone. The latter is often a great choice, given that it makes the device much less visible and school-age kids have a penchant for teasing.

Obviously, this is just a brief introduction to the detection and treatment of auditory loss. Parents of children suffering from auditory problems have a lot to learn. Luckily, there are support groups and hundreds of internet web pages available. Not to mention that audiologists and therapists often work very closely with the parents to best facilitate the child’s care.
