Podcasting Presentation
Podcasting has been around since 2004, with the term being coined that year. A podcast is a series of digital media files, such as audio or video, released episodically and downloaded through web syndication. Podcasts can be subscribed to, listened to online, or downloaded as mp3 files. They offer benefits like being accessible anywhere and at any time without schedules, and have disadvantages like requiring an internet connection and not being usable by deaf users.
Internet technologies & hearing loss: blogs
Blogs can serve several purposes for people with hearing loss. They can be used to share personal experiences, help others through similar experiences, inform others about topics, and collaborate with others. Anyone can start their own blog for free using common platforms like Blogger, WordPress, or Edublogs. People can find blogs to read on topics by using search engines and searching for the topic plus the word "blog". The document provides examples of blogs related to conditions like tinnitus, cochlear implants, and acoustic neuromas.

Law Libraries Reaching for the Sky: Practical Applications of Web 2.0 Technology
In the blink of the eye, the information landscape that we work in has changed profoundly from information scarcity to information abundance, from mediated services to self service, from print to digital, from serving baby boomers to millennials. We all know change is happening and have taken time to explore online sites like YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, Flickr and others, but what does this mean for info pros? What is just hype or entertainment value and what is actually transforming the way legal professionals work or want to work if they could? What should we be doing as information professionals to provide services today and tomorrow? If the sky is the limit, what should we pay attention to and be doing now?

While originally intended as a way for users to share what they are doing with their followers, Twitter has grown to be used by celebrities, journalists, activists, and businesses to communicate and spread information quickly. For deaf users, Twitter provides a text-based alternative to verbal communication that allows them to stay connected with friends and up-to-date on news and events through following other users and organizations.
Types of hearing loss
There are several types of hearing loss that can occur depending on which part of the ear is affected. Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound cannot reach the inner ear, usually due to issues with the outer or middle ear like earwax buildup, infections, or problems with the eardrum or tiny bones that transmit sound. Sensorineural hearing loss affects the inner ear or auditory nerve, preventing sound from being interpreted by the brain, and can result from aging, noise exposure, viruses, or medications. Mixed hearing loss is a combination of both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. Central auditory processing disorder affects the brain's ability to understand sound patterns.
Hearing Loss & Speech Sounds
Pure tone audiometry is the main method for testing hearing and involves playing pure tones through headphones while the patient presses a button when hearing sounds. There are two types of headphones: air conduction and bone conduction. An audiogram records hearing loss by plotting loudness against frequency based on results from a pure tone test. Audiograms can show typical age-related hearing loss in higher frequencies or a noise-induced "notch" at 4,000 Hz. Over time, age-related hearing loss can compound noise-induced hearing loss, resulting in a more significant loss of higher frequencies. An audiogram of speech sounds indicates which sounds a person with a given hearing loss wouldn't be able to hear without a hearing aid
Recycling mobile phones
This document discusses recycling mobile phones and the benefits of doing so. It notes that 10 million phones are discarded each year, which is problematic as phones contain toxic metals that can leak into the water supply if phones are sent to landfills. The document provides information on how to sell old phones to raise funds for charities, listing two charities that accept phone donations. It also outlines other recycling options for items like printer cartridges, stamps, and certain packaging materials.
Communication Rules
This document outlines 10 basic communication rules, including getting someone's attention before speaking to them without startling them, looking at the person you are talking to, speaking at an appropriate pace, avoiding distractions like covering your mouth or background noise, and including everyone in the conversation.
Mobile Phones for Hard of Hearing people
Hearing a phone ring or having a phone near a hearing aid can cause issues for hard of hearing (HoH) people. Solutions include using vibrating phones, flashing indicators, or additional devices that flash or vibrate. To avoid interference, keep phones in pockets and use neck loops, ear loops, or Bluetooth accessories connected to hearing aids. For calls, louder phones, speakerphone, or loops can help. Text messaging, instant messaging like Skype, and relay services allow communication when hearing is difficult. Websites list assistive phones and accessories.
What is lipreading?
Lipreading, also called speechreading, involves using visual cues from a speaker's face, including lip movements and facial expressions, to understand speech. Only 30-40% of speech sounds can be understood from lipreading alone. Successful lipreaders use additional contextual clues from gestures, body language, situational context, and their own knowledge of language and grammar to fill in the gaps and deduce the full meaning of an utterance. Mastering lipreading requires practice at integrating these various visual and linguistic cues.
