Seminar Presentation on Deaf Awareness
For this presentation, I was asked to talk about deaf awareness to a care homes staff and families. I decided to call my presentation “Hearing Loss – A Growing Issue”, I decided to call the presentation this as I wanted it to make an impact and make people think how many people have a hearing loss.
The First Slide I will talk to the care home about is some statistics on hearing loss. I introduced this into the slide as I felt that this will make the clients know how many people this actually affects. Also, it will make the clients realise that people are living with a hearing loss without support and help.
The Second slide I will talk to the care home about is how to recognize a hearing loss. I have added this slide into the presentation as it shows there is more than one symptom of a hearing loss. I felt this is a way to also make them think whether they

I felt this needed to be included to the presentation as it is an important subject to touch upon. Some of the staff or family members may not know where to start in the process. They may not know that there are support charities like Action on Hearing, or that counselling and talking to the patient may help at the beginning of the process. I wanted this slide to come across that communication is the key to helping out.
The fourth slide that I have included in the presentation is what impact a hearing loss can cause on the patient. This is an important slide to include as some of these symptoms could be seen as another condition. I wanted to show that hearing loss and dementia could be linked to one another. I have included the text “Misdiagnosis of other conditions” as this could be true as some people could be misdiagnosed for other conditions when they have a hearing loss that is not attended to in some form. Whether being a hearing aid or
In my Powerpoint display I am creating an easy to follow guide for the CNWL and BCS App-a-thon. This display consists of ten slides. Each slide gives information about the event and what to expect on the day. For example No.1.Outline slide is about the underlying contents of the event 2.Introduction slide is basically saying what the event is all about 3.What is a mobile app slide, states the mobile app and its uses.4.What is an Android
I have been a part of Cora Barclay Centre since I was 4 years old, they have given me an opportunity to able to speak just like everybody else and I wouldn’t thanks enough for them to continue teaching me to speak and hear. Web of Hearing Impaired Student's Peer Alliance (WHISPA) is a peer group of the young adult who are hearing impairment that comes together from Adelaide’s surroundings such as Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western Adelaide. They come together each fortnight at Cora Barclay Centre to create a unique friendship and good opportunities for those who are hearing impairment to be themselves. Also to able to share their experience to another about their life with hearing impaired. Since being with WHISPA for a couple years, I
I liked the idea that the presenter gave on how to lessen a learning disabled student’s anxiety, but having a questioning cue in place before lectures and other lessons. I think this would be especially useful in upper
The presentation Aid the speaker chose to use is a projector hooked up to a computer using a PowerPoint presentation, the use of these really brought out the message is trying to get across. We have some people that absorb information by listening others are visual learners so he covered both bases.
Please, Elene maybe we can put some of the information in the notes, since the slides text is very long?
(Q.2.) In comparison to my demonstration speech, I believe the introduction to my informative speech was much stronger, because I told a story instead of asking a question. My story allowed for my audience to have a mental picture of what I was talking about. How I related child development to my audience was much more effective in my informative speech than my demonstration speech. In my demonstration speech, not everyone raised their hand when I asked my question. In my informative speech, I related it to my audience by saying everyone has went through child development. I felt more confident in my informative speech because I practiced many times in front of my family and friends. I got marked points off for being too read-y in my demonstration speech, so for my informative speech I worked on not memorizing the whole thing. By not memorizing my informative speech I felt more confident while presenting.
Class, In our first DQ, we discussed the various cultural barriers that we might see on a routine basis; however there are still many more barriers to effective communication. These might be more associated with physical and psychological barriers. Here are two real-world questions that we most of us will encounter throughout our health care career regularly... How might a provider communicate more effectively with a person who is hearing impaired? Also, how might a provider communicate more effectively with an adolescent versus an adult?
Create a 10- to 12-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation, with a minimum of 100 words of speaker notes, in which you summarize each example and address the following questions:
I struggled to listen to the instructor and found myself having to work very hard to understand her then about an hour into class I began to lose focus and stopped paying attention. In this instance, I empathized with the children who have an unidentified hearing loss and struggle to pay attention in school. These children are often identified as having attention and behavior issues when in reality their hearing is the problem. This further emphasized the importance of services such as hearing aids, FM systems or other amplification methods to ensure that these children do not have to work so hard to understand
I gave verbal instruction in the form of reading the detail on the PowerPoint slides and further emphasising the main points by verbally expanding further when required. I used the investigator pack visual aid to reinforce the spoken word and in conjunction with the PowerPoint slides listed the contents within it. Each item was shown to the learners in turn with discussion taken place about the use of each item. I assessed that this would be the most appropriate method of introducing these items as giving the items to the learners within the classroom environment may have led to a loss of control within the classroom and would have allowed the learners to see the items during the planned assessment later in the session.
The Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHOH) are understudied population and disproportionately impacted by cardiovascular diseases (CVD) due communication barriers (Mckee, Mckee, Winters, Sutter, & Pearson, 2014; McKee & Paasche-Orlow, 2012; Strong & Prinz, 1997). In considering the link between communication barriers and CVD attribute to insufficient English proficiency, inability to comprehend physicians’ spoken and written instructions, and inability to access community-based health outreach education programs in which all these surface factors increases the chance of DHOH developing CVD (McKee et al., 2011; Margellos-Anast, Estarziau, & Kaufman, 2006). The barriers that restrict access to health information suggest that
I went into detail how by listening to my speech, they could possibly help a family member or friend in the future. Finally, my preview of the main points did a great job of giving a roadmap into the rest of my speech. I went into each of my three main ideas and talked about what I would be examining within each of them. I made sure not to use any evidence too early or give too much away in the preview. I simply discussed what would be later covered in the coming minutes. An example, one of my points was government involvement. I previewed that I would be discussing the difference between how government at the local and national level affected access and how they differed.
The intended audience for the presentation is identified and their level of understanding of the presentation topic is assessed
A few easy steps can be taken to ensure the classroom is suitable for hearing impaired students. When
Our presentation slides focuses more on pictures, charts and key-points for visual aid. By keeping the slides simple, audiences can focus more on the speaker. The videos uploaded by the Centre for English Language Communication department tell us our weaknesses which we do not realize by ourselves. Reflecting on my first and second presentation through videos and feedbacks from Ms. Christine has helped me
