Deaf Filipinos Get To Hear For The First Time

VIDEO [CC] - Three Deaf people were unable to contain their tears of joy after hearing with the hearing aids their families speak for the very first time.



PHILIPPINES - Spotify teamed up with Starkey Hearing Foundation to give Deaf people across the Philippines the chance to hear for the first time.



A new video, created by streaming service Spotify and hearing aids manufacturer Starkey Hearing Foundation, captures the incredible moment that the men and women, who live in Puerto Princesa, one of the poorest areas in the Philippines, are made able to hear sounds, after being given new, very sensitive hearing aids.



The four-minute clip follows each of the participants as they go about their day-to-day lives, while they explain how being Deaf has affected them and their families.

Deaf and Hearing News - Deaf Family

VIDEO [ASL/CC] - Short film: How does Deaf and Hearing Network impact a Deaf family? #NewsForEveryone.



DHN is a place where everyone can get the news in the language that suits them best, whether they are Deaf or Hearing. This is the first of five installments to show you that DHN is the #NewsForEveryone. How does DHN benefit you? Tell us in the comments below or on social media.



DHN is a news agency out of Phoenix, Arizona. We incorporate American Sign Language, spoken English and captions into each broadcast. There are 48 million Deaf or Hard of Hearing people in America and the majority of them are born into hearing families. Very few of those families will learn sign language - American Sign Language, ASL. This gives the entire family access to news.

Videographer: David Banen

Editor: Peyton Gallovich

Music: Jeff Southwick - http://www.singlemanstudios.com/

Actors: Abrams-Gay Family



This is the first news show to involve all three forms of communication and give information relevant to everyone whether they are involved in the Deaf community or not. What most people fail to realize is that English and ASL are two completely different languages with their own grammatical structures. Plus, English is a second language for most deaf people and the lag and inaccuracy in live captioning can make daily news a daunting task.



DHN hopes to grow into a national, daily broadcast with news segments and other network programs. We currently air on local channels and online.

Changing The Way Deaf People Bank

VIDEO [ASL/CC] - Your bank. Changing the way Deaf people bank from SignVideo.



John runs a conservation wildlife park in Scotland. In this video he tells us how, as a Deaf customer, going into a bank used to be a stressful and at times embarrassing experience. He explains how using the SignVideo link to speak to an interpreter online makes a massive difference. Today he can speak with the bank independently, privately and without any of the stress that was previously attached.

Our customers have always given us the best ideas, so we've launched Your Bank, a new online community where you can share your ideas. If you've got an idea, share it at www.yourbank.barclays.co.uk

Future Of Electronic Devices For The Deaf

VIDEO: Expected in future of technology devices for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals have various abilities to communicate, relate to, and access their world.



We see a world where communication is open and transparent. A world where every Deaf person can interact freely with others. It's not simply a far-fetched dream, it's our vision for the future.



The technology devices can support, change or modify an individual's ability to succeed at tasks that they otherwise may not be able to accomplish.

Share our Vision, Make it a Reality.

It's why Communication Service for the Deaf, Inc. (CSD) exists, and why we come to work every single day. CSD has always belonged to the community, and this vision belongs to you.

SMU Ads Targeting Deaf Students

VIDEO [CC] - Discover how Ginny's SMU experience encouraged her to start up a social enterprise for the Deaf.



Ginny Ong Jing Yun is undergraduate in Bachelor of Science (Information Systems Management) and Started up a social enterprise for the Deaf. "I thought that nobody would understand what I was saying. Over the years, Singapore Management University (SMU) slowly gave me a lot of tips on how to participate effectively. I learnt how to be more outspoken, more confident of myself.

Two years ago I set up this social enterprise it's called iDeaf-Connect. My aim is to use this company to create Deaf awareness. Also, we wanted to have a business to provide jobs for the Deaf. We aim to use this place as a training hub.



I will go out and meet my clients. I will give talks and I will share with them how they can work with the Deaf better. The broad-based curriculum at SMU gave me a lot of knowledge. It helped me to understand better how companies run their business.



You have a lot of projects so you have to face a lot of deadlines. It motivates me to be quick, be creative, think out of the box to finish the project. So the same thing can apply to my company as well. To me, if not for the interactive style (of education) in SMU, I wouldn't be here talking to you today." Welcome to SMU.
