Here is a post from that shares 5 ways to build Auditory Memory for kids with hearing loss:

"Our DHH students are often tested on their "Auditory Memory" skills.

For a while, I didn't understand that or feel good about that.

Why should a student with hearing loss have to endure a test like that?

Then I learned more.

"Auditory memory" is, in general, the same thing as WORKING MEMORY, which is the ability to hold information, make sense of it, and recall it on demand (through any communication mode).

The ability to follow directions, recall details, remember spelling words and math facts, etc.

Our DHH students often have weaker working memory skills compared to their hearing peers.

Here are a few ways you build this important skill for your student."

This may include hearing loss, vision loss, or developmental delays.

Do you know what it means to code-switch in American Sign Language (ASL)?

In this post from they say:

"In ASL, code-switching is when someone using ASL switches between ASL and English (written or spoken), or different signing systems like ASL and signed English, depending on who they are talking to. It can also mean changing how they sign- making it more or less complex- based on who's watching, just like you;d change how you talk to kids versus adults."

See a few examples is their post!

Has your child been diagnosed with single sided or unilateral hearing loss? Here is some information about the effects of that type of loss from :

"Unilateral hearing loss can disrupt the delicate balance of sound perception. When one ear experiences hearing loss, the brain struggles to process auditory signals effectively, leading to difficulties in localization, understanding speech in noisy environments, and overall sound clarity. Discover the impact of hearing loss in one ear and the importance of seeking timely intervention for optimal hearing health. 🦻"

We love the beautiful illustrations and posts like this one from :

'You are your loudest advocate. And every deaf child deserves to learn that early.'

Learning to advocate for yourself isn’t easy... but it’s powerful.

It’s never too early to learn that your voice matters ... to advocate, speak up, and fight for yourself in a world that isn’t designed for you.

At first, you just sit there. Nodding. Smiling. Pretending you caught it all. You don’t even know what to ask for... you just don’t want to stand out.

But with time, you learn:
🦻 to ask, “Can you say that again?”
🦻 to shift someone to your better ear.
🦻 to say out loud, “I’m deaf. I use a hearing aid. Here’s what helps me.”

It’s never easy... it takes courage every single time. But each time you advocate, it doesn’t just make life easier for you... it makes the world easier for the next deaf person too.

Because advocacy doesn’t just change one moment. It changes everything."
