SUMMARY:But You Look so Normal:Lost and Found in a Hearing World
DESCRIPTION:By age four\, Claudia Marseille had hardly uttered a word. When her parents finally had her hearing tested and learned she had a severe hearing loss\, they chose to mainstream her\, hoping this would offer her the most “normal” childhood possible. With the help of a primitive hearing aid\, Claudia worked hard to learn to hear\, lipread\, and speak even as she tried to hide her disability in order to fit in. As a result\, she was often misunderstood\, lonely\, and isolated—fitting into neither the hearing world nor the Deaf culture. \nThis memoir explores Claudia’s relationships with her German refugee parents—a disturbed\, psychoanalyst father obsessed over various harebrained projects and moneymaking schemes and a Jewish mother who had survived the Holocaust in Munich—and with her own identity. Claudia shares how she emerged from loneliness and social isolation\, explored her Jewish identity\, struggled to find a career compatible with hearing loss\, and eventually opened herself to a life of creativity and love. \nRelease May 14\, 2024\nPre Order from Amazon \nRegistration Required:\n https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0rcO6tqTotGtMsKKEn16IfkNZTlMh8NOlS \nDirections to the Club Room at Rossmoor

SUMMARY:Hearing Loss At Work Webinar Series - Exploring Self Employment for People with Hearing Loss
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will focus on self-employment and entrepreneurship as options for people who are deaf and hard-of-hearing. Our three panelists\, who all have hearing loss and have successfully navigated self-employment\, will share helpful tips\, personal stories and the pros and cons of being self-employed. The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Kelly Tremblay and Lisa Yuan. Presented by the HLAA Accessible\, Inclusive Employment Task Force\, this free webinar will be captioned and recorded. \nPresenters \nEyra Abraham is the founder of Lisnen\, a startup that is changing the landscape of adaptive technologies for people with hearing loss using the latest AI technologies. She’s also a workshop trainer for non-profit and for-profit organizations on topics such as disability inclusion and entrepreneurship. Building on her own hearing loss and technical experiences\, her mission is to advance the positive impact of technologies to help people with disabilities gain equal access at home\, at work and in the community. She was named one of Canada’s Top 100 Black Women to Watch 2019. \n  \nAnne McIntosh\, Ph.D.\, is the president\, CEO and founder of Safe’N’Clear. After noticing a barrier with traditional PPE\, specifically face masks\, she created a solution to help millions of people access inclusive communication. Her modernized design includes a clear window that shows the user’s mouth\, allowing the deaf and hard of hearing an opportunity to speech-read and see facial expressions. Safe’N’Clear has also introduced the world’s first FDA-approved transparent surgical face mask with Level 1 and Level 3 protection. \n  \nShari Eberts is a passionate hearing health advocate\, HLAA Board Member and internationally recognized author and speaker on hearing loss issues. She is the founder of Living with Hearing Loss blog and online community\, and an executive producer of We Hear You\, an award-winning documentary about the hearing loss experience.
