impairments. Some examples of solutions would be blinking lights on different things like their phones, alarms, and things that are important to alert them. Cochlear implants are an option too. Cochlear implants are surgically placed devices that stimulate the cochlear nerve in order to help the person hear. A cochlear implant is used instead of hearing aids in order to help when someone has difficulties understanding speech. A study by Anna Agostinelli et al., was done on four subjects with Single-Sided Deafness that use Cochlear Implants. This study showed their age, what made them lose their hearing, which ear was affected, and how long it has been since they had their Cochlear Implant activated. It was shown that the children had much improvement in their auditory use, Another study done by Shannon R. Culbertson et al., showed that children who had their activation at a younger age, had better auditory skill and perception. Children who had their activation earlier had a higher FLI (Functional Listening Index) score than those who had theirs activated later on. Functional Listening Index was developed by The Shepherd Centre. It is a 60- item scale that tracks the development of auditory skills from birth through 5 years of age for six categories: sound awareness, associating sound with meaning, comprehending simple spoken language, comprehending language in different listening conditions, listening through discourse and narratives, and advanced open listening set (Davis et al., 2015). Merv Hyde, Renee Punch, and Linda Komesaroff completed a study that says that parents have difficulties with making the decision to use Cochlear Implants for their child. A survey was done asking parents how they felt when making this decision. Many only made this decision due to feeling urgency with implanting their child. This can be a serious procedure, which comes with the risk of negative results. In the end, most of the parents felt that this was beneficial for their child.

and non-disabled people in developing countries. As children, deaf people learn literacy differently than hearing children. They learn to speak and write, whereas hearing children naturally learn to speak and eventually learn to write later on. The Quota International organization with headquarters in the United States provided immense educational support in the Philippines, where it started providing free education to deaf children in the Leganes Resource Center for the Deaf. The Sounds Seekers British organization also provided support by offering audiology maintenance technology, to better assist those who are deaf in hard-to-reach places. The Nippon Foundation also supports deaf students at Gallaudet University and the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, through sponsoring international scholarships programs to encourage students to become future leaders in the deaf community. The more aid these organizations give to the deaf people, the more opportunities and resources disabled people must speak up about their struggles and goals that they aim to achieve. When more people understand how to leverage their privilege for the marginalized groups in the community, then we can build a more inclusive and tolerant environment for the generations that are yet to come.

sounds correctly. These different types of hearing loss occur in different parts of the ear, which make it difficult for the information being heard to get sent to the brain properly. To break it down even further, there are three different levels of hearing loss. According to the CDC, the first level is mild hearing loss. This is when someone is still able to hear noises, but it is more difficult to hear the softer sounds. The second level is moderate hearing loss and this is when someone can hear almost nothing when someone is talking to them at a normal volume. The next level is severe hearing loss. Severe hearing loss is when someone can not hear any sounds when they are being produced at a normal level and they can only hear minimum sounds that are being produced at a loud level. The final level is profound hearing loss, which is when someone is not able to hear any sounds except for very loud ones.

child, how the school can make accommodations for the child, and the environment itself. There are four themes that connect to eight sub-themes that the author refers to. Child-Centered connects to Inclusion and Additional Needs and Well-Being. Familial connects to Complex Processes, Information Input and Flow, and Caregiver perceptions of Education. School connects to School Systems and Personnel, and School Character. And finally On Reflection connects to No Regrets. It can be profitable for both the child and the parent to do trial and error with different schools. This can lead to the child being in the proper environment for them and their needs.

This community does not automatically include all those who are clinically or legally deaf, nor does it exclude every hearing person.
