Video in ASL about how Deafness and Sign have affected me... Transcript: https://www.noladeafchild.com/post/deaf-awareness-month

Influences of the ears are often overlooked. Ways ear care impacts the body: information processing, speech, physical comfort, and balance. All of which can be silent dilemmas. https://www.noladeafchild.com/post/ear-care

This is a cool concept cause it provides some access but I have a few problems: it is constantly on the Deaf to put effort in communicating, signs can have multiple meanings depending on context and AI is not at the point of being able to pick up on syntax so this is going to cause a lot of miscommunication, and ASL isn't even recognized as a language by academics nor was it aknowledged until the 60s by the government much less having any types of funds for advancing machine learning to be capable of translating the hundreds of variations of sign language in existence. To truly communicate with the Deaf in a world where the Deaf learn how to speak/write/read lips/adjust to understanding the hearing/wear hearing aids/ go through cochlear implants, the hearing need to learn our languages plain and simple. https://www.becauseofthemwecan.com/blogs/culture/meet-the-kenyan-engineer-who-created-gloves-that-turn-sign-language-into-audible-speech
