The Deaf Child

A Mythology of the Deaf Experience

04.04.01 - The First Hearing Test

34th clip of DC myth. Clip Title: First Hearing Test. 03:52 minutes. Total: 3:18:13 hours.

This clip is posted in joy to someone I just conversed with - who is following the myth and understanding the deep interplay of connections to everything Deaf this story entails. The more I ponder on this myth, the more enlightened and appreciative I am in being Deaf. This is how this mythology works for me, and other hearing and deaf people who saw that they are the Deaf Child (or other character-s) themselves too, and that we all are still living in this myth . This clip is posted for you, my Deaf Adult, who I just signed with electronically. The more you delve into this story, the more you understand and become _________ about being Deaf nudging you into a higher stage of deafhood. A big tbc . . .

To you, the Deaf Adult, from above the clip here, I sincerely wish I can elaborate here on the symbols depicted in the 04.04 clip but I have to go to bed! What could and should be here are: the history of early hearing tests conducted in deaf history, the deafhood questions on experiences being tested for hearing loss, and the pictures and videos of Samuel Heincke Schul in Liepzig, Germany. And more . . .

Ah, such bottomless pit this myth has . . . and falling with glee, I am . . .

04.03.01 - Into the Castle

33rd clip of DC myth. Clip Title: Into the Castle. 07:36 minutes long. Total: 3:14:31 hours.

This clip is posted with congratulations to Tayler and Jared for such a wonderful DR conference! I am seeing impacts DeafRead and the blogsphere are making on the deaf community. The Pepsi-AgBAD uproar and how the NAD response is bringing, as new and non members, more grassroot deaf people into the fray. The subtitling whining on all sides is brought out in the open. The audistic cochlear impanted experiences being posted in DeafRead had brought their views into the faces of the ASLans. And the vociferous deaf-mute ASLans being shoved into the English speaking throats. All that is WONDERFUL! The more interplay among different people within the deaf community will bring us all together inch by inch.
