  • The Use Of Cochlear Implants In True Biz By Sara Polish

    531 Words  | 3 Pages

    Sara Nović’s novel True Biz is, at its core, a depiction of the struggle between the Deaf community and its hearing counterpart. Much of the book is spent describing how hearing people who fail to understand the Deaf community have mainstreamed their deaf children through the use of ASL deprivation and the use of cochlear implants. Nović feels pride about the Deaf community and wants to teach us about it so that we in the hearing world can better help to prevent its destruction. Unfortunately, in doing this, Nović has painted a one-sided picture regarding the use of cochlear implants by failing to include examples of successful ones, her depiction of Austin's family struggle around the issue, and most importantly, by glorifying the destruction of the bionics lab.

  • Deaf Culture Essay

    According to Cristina De Rossi, an anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College in London, “Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at the table, how we greet visitors, how we behave with loved ones, and million other things.” I think basically culture expresses the ways we live. Every region, every family and everyone has their own culture. For example, people usually call “Western Culture,” “Eastern Culture,” “Latin Culture,” or “African Culture” etc. Therefore, with Deaf people, they also have their own culture, which is Deaf Culture.

    I had encountered a patient who were truly devastated by the affects of their hearing; however after many persistent trials and tribulations were finding amplification to be of little help with their hearing difficulties. No amount of lectures and anecdotes can truly prepare you for what you actually see as a clinician. This encounter was the most impactful in my clinical placement, realising not only the need for flexibility, and but the importance of prioritising empathy and counselling skills to drive the appointment over practical problem solving while the patient was too distressed. Additionally challenging, was putting into practise a range of clinical skills in a short span of time. Placements are sparse and I had to learn to take initiative and make the most of the appointment whether or not I felt confident in doing a task.
