Our beautiful baby girl, Rielyn is now 18 months old and at about 9 months was diagnosed with bilateral profound hearing loss; that later was determined congenital. This means, she was born deaf and it was missed at her infant screening. Her hearing aids are not working for her so we have no other option to give her the best life possible and go ahead with cochlear implants. It is a very serious surgery…but she will hear!!!!
THORVALDSEYRI, Iceland Volcanic Eruption
THORVALDSEYRI, Iceland - As once-stranded European travelers return to their routine lives, farmers near the base of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano are only starting to grapple with long-term consequences of the recent eruption.
SILVER CITY, N.M. -- Lance Armstrong said Wednesday there were plenty of good reasons he wanted to return to the Tour of the Gila in New Mexico.
Big climbs, a time trial, a competitive field.
The seven-time Tour de France champion finished 22nd in the Tour of the Gila's opening stage, a 95-mile road race to Mogollon that was capped by a grueling climb over the final five miles.
Having been profoundly deaf since birth, my observation throughout my life has taught me what opportunities/ resources/ education are lacking based on demographic scales on percentages of high school, college graduates, and employment levels. We need to create richer resources and public awareness to accommodate the hard of hearing/deaf people to mainstream with the hearing population in those areas.
Two out of ten are hearing impaired at various degrees. It all starts with the proper family settings (as in parents who are well informed) and getting them on the right track with the school that will best suit their needs. It would build their self-confidence level to where they become more productive and efficient students as they prepare for their future in the workplace therefore enhance their quality of life.
The development of the web site is to create more interaction and to help build their education level up by creating more demands in different area that needs more refining.
We have launched a D.A.D. (Donate A Dollar) campain to raise monies to help the hearing impaired to hear better. Your Dollar could change some ones life today.
With warm regards,
