Hello, I am going to explain about how to improve deaf people’s hearing and people’s disabilities and first I am going to be talking about what they should be doing about cochlear implants. For these implants they should still have these going into your head but instead have them a bit smaller so it can properly feel more comfortable and not stand out so much.
Next for sign language, for this we should have a small-sized machine that can have a voice inside it and then people can sign and what they say can come out in words on the machine so people that are not deaf can know what they are saying. Or people that are deaf and that don’t know sign language can be taught by other people or go to sign language classes, so they can talk to other people who do know sign language. You can also make a book up for parents that have young children or teenagers and that can tell you words or phrases and the sign language for help so you can sign back to them. It is good as well to teach your children from a baby just in case they have a speech or hearing problem.
Yes, I think that doctors can make up something to replace parts for ears for people that are deaf. The doctors can make up a machine which is like an x-ray machine and it looks at your body, partly the brain and then they can see inside and think of a solution to make people that are disabled (deaf), not deaf and help them to be like other normal people.
There should be more clubs made available for deaf people for different ages in different areas. This will help deaf people build relationships and you can talk to each other about the problems you have and you can build your confidence, knowing someone else is going through the same situation as you and others are in.
