Confronting the truths and myths about hearing loss! You are invited on a journey to better understand hearing loss, hearing healthcare, and its impact on your life. Primarily you will hear from people from all walks of life, as they share their stories, their own personal journeys with hearing loss. These will be from the individuals themselves, as well as some impactful narratives from family and friends who have navigated the, oftentimes, tumultuous waters of support for that person and their communication needs. Also, you will hear from experts, there will be interviews that will cover topics across the lifespan, from infants to seniors, with engaging discussions to include information on basic hearing anatomy and evaluations, importance to language acquisition, the manifestation of psychological challenges in adults, treatment options such as hearing aids and cochlear implants, and the critical need for aural rehabilitation. Discover how hearing loss happens, why it happens, what it looks like, what to do about it, and where to find answers. Your companion on this mission is Jason Wigand. He began losing his hearing in his late teens and after a decade of rapid, progressive loss and continual hearing aid use, he received a cochlear implant. Five years later, in his mid-thirties, he completed graduate work and obtained a doctorate in audiology. As a clinical audiologist and educator, he has operated and provided care in academic, private practice, and nonprofit settings. He believes these discussions are critical to improving hearing healthcare and its importance in the public health landscape.

Mariann Carter - Carter Hears! and The Quill Model of learning
#013. How a normal hearing child of deaf adults serves children with hearing loss and develops a better model for their communication and educational needs!
In addition to serving as owner and lead consultant for Carter Hears! in Fort Mill, South Carolina, an educational consulting group that focuses on children with hearing loss by supporting schools, professionals, and families with customized services. Mariann Carter has developed an unique model for optimizing education for children with hearing loss. The Quill Model.
The Quill Model aims to demonstrate that services like these depicted in the photo, with three communication options and access to grade-level content, are just the beginning of a purposeful and outcomes-based relationship with the community. Knowing the challenges makes it almost impossible for most districts to accomplish a true language intensive environment for students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. These challenges exist for many reasons – resources, a critical mass of students, and available teachers with background and training, as well as trained individuals and adult role models who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing to model naturally communication in the environment. Therefore, to provide the perfect foundation of language intensity, academic content, technology, social and executive functioning skills, The Quill Model strives to be a bridge that addresses LEAD-K in action.
Mariann Carter, a child of deaf adults, has taken the work of two generations and brought it forth to be used in schools for the deaf, school districts, charter options and more. Visit www.quillmodel.com today to learn more about how they can help to bring about a more successful and well-rounded language-intensive education for students with hearing loss.
