- Article 1: Court Supports Captioning at Sporting Events
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Editor: A Federal district court has ruled that the Washington Redskins must provide captioning of all information broadcast over their public address system. This is great news for sports fans with hearing loss, and we'll hopefully start to see stadiums around the country providing captions. Here's the notice from the NAD.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In an opinion issued on September 30, 2008, a federal district court in Maryland held that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires the Washington Redskins "to provide deaf and hard of hearing fans equal access to the aural information broadcast over the stadium bowl public address system at FedExField, which includes music with lyrics, play information, advertisements, referee calls, safety/emergency information, and other announcements."

The lawsuit was brought in August 2006 on behalf of Redskins fans Shane Feldman, Brian Kelly, and Paul Singleton, who are deaf or hard of hearing and who regularly attend Washington Redskins home games at FedExField. The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) and Joseph B. Espo of Brown, Goldstein & Levy, LLP, represent the plaintiffs. The court's ruling requires that FedExField, the home of the Washington Redskins, must provide auxiliary aids and services to make the game-day experience fully accessible for deaf and hard of hearing fans.

"This victory is the first of its kind and carries great significance" said Nancy J. Bloch, NAD Chief Executive Officer. "As the court recognizes, there are hundreds of stadiums, arenas, and sports venues throughout the United States. This groundbreaking decision is expected to have nationwide ripple effect as these stadiums look to this decision for guidance on ADA requirements with respect to the communication access needs of deaf and hard of hearing consumers."

"This is a tremendous breakthrough for deaf and hard of hearing sport fans. This decision, supporting equal access, will benefit the entire deaf and hard of hearing community, especially those who bleed burgundy and gold," said Mr. Feldman, referring to the colors of the Washington Redskins team. "This outcome would not have been possible without the valiant efforts of the NAD and Mr. Espo."

"We expect that stadiums, arenas and other sports venues will take heed and begin to follow the law on providing equal access to individuals with disabilities, including providing equal access to aural information for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing," said Mr. Espo.

"The court's decision marks a significant victory for plaintiffs and the deaf and hard of hearing community," said Marc Charmatz, NAD Senior Attorney. "The ADA applies to stadiums, and now a court, for the first time, has recognized that deaf and hard of hearing fans have a legal right to equal access at stadiums."

The Court held that one disputed fact remained in the case - whether captions displayed on the 50-yard line were effective for audiovisual presentations displayed on JumboTrons located in the end zones. The NAD is confident that this matter will be brought to a successful closure.

About NAD

The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) was established in 1880 by deaf leaders who believed in the right of the American deaf community to use sign language, to congregate on issues important to them, and to have its interests represented at the national level. These beliefs remain true to this day, with American Sign Language as a core value. As a nonprofit federation, the mission of the NAD is to preserve, protect, and promote the civil, human, and linguistic rights of deaf and hard of hearing individuals in the United States of America. The advocacy scope of the NAD is broad, covering the breadth of a lifetime and impacting future generations in the areas of early intervention, education, employment, health care, technology, telecommunications, youth leadership, and more.

~~~~~

Lifetone Technology, formerly known as InnovAlarm, has developed new smoke alarm technology to address a major shortcoming of current alarms that may be very important for people with mild to moderate hearing loss. Its Fire Safety Alarm Clock uses a low-frequency, 520 Hz square-wave sound pattern that Lifetone says has been independently tested and proven more effective than traditional audio or stroke smoke alarms. Jan Biang, Lifetone's Director of Product Marketing, showed me a prototype of the clock, which can also be viewed at http://www.innovalarm.com/ourproduct.html.

The Fire Safety Alarm Clock constantly monitors for signals from conventional smoke alarms. When it hears such an alarm, the Lifetone alarm starts broadcasting sounds at multiple frequencies below 3000Hz. To cut through the techspeak, what's new and important about this system is its use of low frequency sound. A study has shown that low frequency sound will wake certain individuals with hearing loss who might not be awakened by strobe lights or the sound broadcast by common smoke detectors. A Lifetone Fire Safety Alarm Clock will listen for these common smoke detectors and alert you with low frequency sound if they go off. This type of alarm is also reputed to be helpful for seniors, children, deep sleepers and mildly intoxicated individuals, all of whom can be difficult to wake.

The product is expected to be on the market in late 2008 or early 2009.

Phonak

I'd like to steal Phonak's PR department and put them to work for me! They have the most wonderful, slick advertising and public relations materials, and are doing so much to make hearing loss cool. My Exhibit #1 to prove it would be their quarterly magazine Hear the World: the Magazine for the Culture of Hearing, which is now into its sixth issue. You can order an issue free or subscribe for $39 per year at http://www.hear-the-world.com/. They've enlisted ambassadors such as Washington's beloved Placido Domingo, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, and naughty singer Amy Winehouse. It's all about sound.

I came home with these Phonak materials:

- EduLink, The Link for Children with Unilateral Hearing Loss (a guide for parents and teachers). Great stuff such as how classroom learning is at risk because noise can "smear" the teacher's voice so that, though audible, it is unintelligible.

- FM Solutions for Cochlear Implants, an FM guide for cochlear implant and Baha (bone anchored hearing aid) fitters. It shows the various transmitters and receivers that Phonak offers for cochlear implants and offers fitting tools for audiologists for each model of cochlear implant or Baha.

- FM Activity Guide 101, a guide to help users of FM devices maximize speech understanding in the most common listening situations, with the help of a partner or friend.

- FM Collection, a comprehensive product guide of wireless communication solutions offered by Phonak. This includes recommendations for different ages and lifestyles and overviews of transmitters, receivers, accessories as well as their compatibility with various hearing instruments, cochlear implants, and Bahas. Included is information on the eSchoolDesk, a comprehensive FM support platform for educational audiologists, teachers, parents and teenagers.

- A 2-page product sheet on TX-300V Wide Area Transmitter from Phonak, its product to make public places accessible. The high-power TX-300V transmitter covers large areas such as auditoriums, lecture rooms, houses of worship, town halls, movie theaters, sports venues, shopping malls, train stations, etc.

- A booklet on Naida Ultra Power, Phonak's small water-resistant hearing aid available in various sporty colors as well as Safari stripes. Sealed housing makes this hearing aid sweat, dirt and water-resistant, and an integrated FM is also water-resistant. Sportsmen and women will appreciate the Secure n' Stay attachment to hold the Naida in place while allowing manual controls to be accessible. There's a size for "junior ears".

The Sam Simon Foundation

The Sam Simon Foundation trains hearing dogs to alert people who are deaf or severely hard of hearing to common household sounds such as smoke alarms, door knocks and telephones. Young, mixed breed dogs aged 1-3 years are adopted from animal shelters and humane societies in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Assistance dog instructors evaluate them for friendliness, confidence and good health. Hearing dogs spend an average of 4-6 months in training which includes sound awareness, obedience and public socialization.

The foundation is a nonprofit organization. It receives private support from Sam Simon, an Emmy and Peabody award winning writer/director/producer with a lifelong love of animals. At this time, they are placing dogs only with individuals who live not too distant from their facility on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California. To qualify, you must have at least a severe hearing loss, love dogs, have the time and ability to work with the dog, patience to work through problems, and finances to properly take care of the dog. You must also be 12 years or older for a hearing dog that works only at home and 18 or older for a certified hearing dog.

- Article 3: Fruit Flies May be Good Subjects for Human Hearing Research
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Editor: The discovery that the ears of fruit flies and humans share some important characteristics may mean that it's much easier to do research on how human hearing works. Here's the notice from the folks in the UK.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

New research published today in the journal Current Biology has added significantly to our understanding of how the ear works, giving hope to millions of deaf and hard of hearing people.

The latest research, conducted by Dr Joerg T Albert, a Deafness Research UK research fellow at the UCL Ear Institute, together with scientists at the University of Cologne, shows that fruit flies have ears which mechanically amplify sound signals in a remarkably similar way to the sensory cells found in the inner ear of vertebrates including humans. The finding means that the wealth of genetic techniques already available to study the fruit fly can now be used to target how the ear works.

Dr Albert says, "The biophysical parallels between the ways both fruit flies and humans convert sound into nerve signals are truly amazing. We may be allowed to hope that these mechanistic similarities extend further down to the genes and molecules that bring about hearing. But even if it finally should turn out that hearing in fruit flies relies on different molecules than does hearing in humans, the little fruit fly can help us find answers to some key questions of hearing research and - what is sometimes even more important - will surely help us ask the right questions."

The work is welcomed by Deafness Research UK, the country's only medical research charity for deaf people. Vivienne Michael, Chief Executive of Deafness Research UK, says: "This is an important advance that paves the way toward a clear understanding of the genetics of deafness.

The charity will continue to support cutting-edge research through its Fellowship programme at the UCL Ear Institute and at other top research centres in the UK to achieve our goal of securing radical improvements in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of all forms of hearing impairment".
There are nine million deaf and hard of hearing people in the UK and in most cases deafness results from loss of sensory cells in the inner ear known as "hair" cells. The cells can be damaged and lost through ageing, noise, genetic defects and certain drugs and, because the cells don't regenerate, the result is progressive - and irreversible - hearing loss. Damage to these cells can also lead to tinnitus which affects around 5 million people in the UK.

Björn Nadrowski, Jörg T. Albert and Martin C. Göpfert report a mathematical model of the process, known as transduction, used by Drosophila melanogaster (the fruit fly) to transform mechanical energy from sound waves into electrical signals. In vertebrates this transduction is performed by hair cells which send the electrical signals on to the brain where they are understood as sounds. However, there are important structural differences between the inner ear of vertebrates and invertebrates like the fruit fly. These differences have lead researchers to believe that transduction must work on different principles.

The research team compared real data - from measurements of the amount of cochlear amplification found in the fruit fly inner ear - to the output of their model and found that around 20 transducers per sensory cell are enough to describe the real data accurately. This is the same as the number of "hairs" on a hair cell. Their results both describe the hearing organ comprehensively and open up the field of deafness research to Drosophila genetics. By manipulating the genes which control the transducers, scientists can identify which molecules are involved in allowing hair cells to send signals to higher brain centres.

Gallaudet Considers a More Open Campus

Rather than cloistering itself from the rest of the community, Gallaudet for the first time is designing a streetscape and architecture to bring together deaf and hearing people. The changes will be made on two spacious parcels where the university is designing a mix of housing, offices, retail, restaurants and cultural attractions . . . . . But the school intends to begin removing those barriers in part because of recruiting challenges and a younger generation that desires more integration into the broader world . . . . . . Gallaudet officials say they need restaurants and other attractions to help make their campus more of a draw. In the past five years, undergraduate enrollment has declined from about 1,400 to just under 1,000.

Artificial cochlea: an example of structural processing

Current state-of-the-art technology for an artificial cochlea operates in a similar fashion except that, unlike the tightly curled cochlea, the MEMS (microelectromechanical-system)-based cochlea stretches out in a linear structure. The 3-cm-long device comprises an acoustic input port at the narrow end of a tapered strip. Where the strip is narrow, the sense material is stiff and vibrates in response to high-frequency compression waves in the fluid that the strip is immersed in. Additionally, as the strip widens, the material is more compliant, vibrates more easily, and absorbs the energy of lower-frequency waves

Jury finds federal rules on hearing aids discriminate

Ramundo Ruiz got great job reviews as a court security officer at the federal courthouse in Victoria. But four years later, in 2006, Ruiz found himself booted from his $50,000-a-year position. Why? Because he wears a hearing aid. The 61-year-old can hear perfectly well with his hearing aid, and federal rules permit security officers to wear the devices while they work, said Kathy Butler, an employment lawyer with Butler & Harris, who represents Ruiz. However, according to other federal rules, court security officers can't wear the devices when they're taking a hearing test, Butler said. If they fail like Ruiz, who worked for a private contractor at the behest of the U.S. Marshals Service, they're out of a job. Last week, a jury found that Ruiz had been discriminated against because of his disability and awarded him $257,048 in back pay for emotional distress. His lawyers plan to ask the court to award future pay and have the government cover Ruiz's legal fees.
