0:00-0:23 1 to 2 in every 1000 children are born deaf.

It can Bedroom
affect every child's life differently. but this

her.
Lois Interview
Parents Interview
1:06-1:37 when I was 3 my little sister was born I was Bedroom
always aware she was slightly different to me but
I wore glasses and she wore hearing aids as I got
older I started to take more of an interest in
audiology I wanted to know what made my ears
work and hers not. one of the first things i learnt
is that hearing aids amplify all the noise around.
making a sort of mechanical sound they will never
be able to restore 'normal' hearing.

2:01- 2:06 the school are also told to wear her radio aid Bedroom
around the neck and know how it works

audiology appointments

6:17-6:30 our secondary school had hearing loops that she Bedroom
was able to connect her hearing aids to in theory
these should work to send the computer and tv
sounds straight to her ears however they're not
the most easily accessible
Lois interview
Parents interview
7:11-7:25 another thing I remember are all the trips we Bedroom
went on with the Deaf Children's Society. As a
child who could hear but had a sibling who was
deaf I found it amazing to be able to talk and
befriend people who where in the same situations
as me
Parents interview
9:05-9:15 Lois' hearing Loss is called Sensori-Neural hearing Bedrooom
loss this means it's not medically or surgically
 treatable and will likely last forever

Parents interview
11:12- most of my friends don't know any sign language Bedroom
11:31 so they're worried that they are going to have no
form of communication with my sister which isn't
true because not even me and her are fluent in
BSL (British Sign Language). in reality 35 million
deaf people still have some percentage of they're
hearing.
