Deaf Communication: Publications and Resources
Summary: The Disabled World list of publications on deaf communication, sign language, and assistive hearing devices comprises articles, research papers, and documents covering a wide range of topics related to hearing impairment. These resources explore various aspects of deaf culture, communication methods, technological advancements in hearing aids, and educational strategies for the hearing impaired. The collection offers valuable insights for individuals with hearing loss, their families, caregivers, and professionals in the field. Topics range from studies on how hard-of-hearing individuals perceive music differently and the brain's processing of hearing in crowded environments, to insights into self-taught home-signing in deaf children and the comprehension of chimpanzee and bonobo gestures by humans. These publications provide practical information, personal experiences, and the latest developments in assistive technologies, making them a helpful resource for understanding and navigating the challenges associated with hearing impairments.
