...Bands are loud! Teen Musicians should protect their ears” and “No Fortissimo? Symphony Told to Keep It Down” explain how musicians are given the choice to decide to protect their ears by wearing earplugs or not wearing them. Musicians used to never wear earplugs considering they had to listen to the music as well. This would become difficult because lots of people, over time who play instruments in an orchestra, can’t hear as well as they used to. All this noise from the instruments together create hearing loss within these people. Despite the hearing loss, some people who were interviewed still wanted to not wear earplugs. In like manner, both articles state that musicians should wear earplugs, but are different in the way they show what people think. “Sophia said pep band "can be crazy loud.” She wears the earplugs then. “But the thought of wearing them every day is a...

...Real Ear Measurements….Do I Need This? Absolutely. If you currently wear hearing aids or are thinking about getting them, you need to know about Real Ear Measurements (REM). It is the main difference between being happy with your hearing aids or still struggling to hear the people and sounds you love. The size and shape of each person’s ear canal is unique to them, like a fingerprint. Recognized as part of the “Gold Standard” of Hearing Care, Real Ear Measurements use a probe tube and a data driven method to confirm that the hearing aid matches the unique “fingerprint” of each person’s ear. It takes extra time, but doing it the right way assures the patient that their hearing aids are delivering maximum benefits, without being too loud...

...sense and will be asked to share what they can see in their mind while music is being played, which would be remarkable to be captured on film. In this proposal, I will discuss the purpose of this documentary, what the exhibits will include, and how I will promote this film. I have already selected the group, and location is set in Chicago. I am pleased to share this idea, and it will be one of my finest documentaries to date. It is my intention to entertain and educate. This documentary will be different from what is already involving arts and the blind community. The sense of hearing is believed to be heightened when an individual is visually impaired; therefore, I feel that the experience of a music museum would be an exciting experience for the documented visitors. The group will be led by a guide that will direct them to the exhibits and inform them the history of the featured artist or instrument. There are people in society that demonstrate their ignorance when it comes to the blind community, and assume their lack of vision also means a lack of intellect and/or creativity. This documentary will educate and prove that the blind community can produce brilliant art when given the opportunity to do so. Art does not necessarily have to be on canvas, clay, or paper. It is time for the blind community to have their moment in the spotlight. The museum will have exhibits that include listening stations of the...

...He first introduces the stethoscope and its importance through a text of imagery, contending that “when it touches you, it sings sounds of your body, noises you can barely imagine – the hypnotic pump of organs, the soft ebb and flow of lungs at work – noises that can name you normal, healthy, or not. The intimate instrument – the stethoscope – knows your body in a way your own hands and ears never can” (73). Contradictory to the idea that the application of technology can be harmful to the world, Church begins to establish the great advantage that instruments, such as the stethoscope, can offer. With a stethoscope, doctors can effectively apply the process of auscultation, consequently improving medical procedures and saving the lives of several patients. But while it may appear that Church’s approach is conflicting, the stethoscope actually diverts from complete automation. In truth, the role of a stethoscope fundamentally extends a doctor’s ability to hear. Inventions such as the stethoscope cannot function on their own; they need the intellect and skill of a doctor to be whole (Church 91). In such cases, the stethoscope undeniably provides more advantages in listening,...

...Welcome to the DEAF-WORLD Welcome to the DEAF-WORLD provides you with an eyes view of the main character Mr. Ben Baham, whom is the founding partner of DawnSignPress. Mr. Baham was born deaf from deaf parents and did not let the loss of his hearing defeat him from accomplishing his goals and aspirations as a human being. The main points are understanding that the deaf culture “is not associated with a single place” but it is a culture derived based on relationships among individuals whom a number of places and associations may provide common ground. Secondly, Sign Language is one of the most important instruments for communication; this form of communication allows the individual to express what they are attempting to convey. Third, understanding that not all deaf person where born deaf in fact, some lost their hearing as adults and some in childhood. The DEAF-WORLD is a culture like any other culture once you are part of this society you feel a self of belonging you are not an alien however, if a hearing person attempts to be part of the DEAF-WORLD they can feel alienated because they are not familiar with this culture. Families with Deaf Children In chapter 2 it provides an insight of Families with deaf children and how the parents react to the birth of new addition(s) to the families. Surprisingly, deaf parents are happier to have a deaf child versus one that can hear. This information was puzzling to me however, continuing to read the chapter it explained the...

...Raising Children the Second Time Around Being a grand-parent today can no longer be considered a traditional role. Long gone are the days when we spoiled our grand-children and sent them “home” with mommy and daddy. With both social (neglect, child abuse, drugs and jail) and economic (lower wages, higher expenses) pitfalls of today more and more grand-children are being raised solely by their grand-parents. According to the 2010, Census there are over four and a half million children raised in grand-families. My role as a grand-mother, to Piper Reanne, was drastically changed from spoiler and nurturer to that of the parent in the fall of 2005. After financial hardships, incidents of neglect and other safety concerns, my daughter and I sat down to discuss me becoming Piper’s “primary” caregiver. After contacting the Clerk of the Court, we wrote the Caregiver Authorization, which is nothing more than a notarized letter, filed a copy with the court and Piper moved into my home. The long forgotten sound of a child laughing, a full on belly laugh, once again filled my home. My days of sleeping in late, getting up and going wherever and whenever I wanted were a thing of the past. I had to adjust back to packing a bag before going anywhere and doing everything for two. Our lives moved forward. In the fall of 2007, Piper was taken, by her mother without permission from her paternal grand-parents while they were on a shopping trip to Wal-Mart. While...

...The influences of music in a child's life. Music comes in all shapes and forms. When most people think of music they think of what you hear on the radio but music is all around us. From a young age we have learned what music is, from hearing the sounds of our mothers voice, to hearing pots and pans bang in the kitchen while dinner is being prepared. When I looked up the definition of music it said "The art of arranging sounds in time so as to produce a continuous, unified, and evocative composition, as through melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre." Which means that music can pretty much be made out of everything we can get our hands on. How does this effect children, you may ask? How does it not effect children! Some benefits of music are it Stimulates the brain, "Music simply stimulates parts of the brain that are related to reading, math, and emotional development.", improve memory "Further research has shown that participation in music at an early age can help improve a child's learning ability and memory by stimulating different patterns of brain development," helps them socially by teaching them how to work together (in a band, choir, ect.) is a confidence builder, teaches patience, teaches discipline, fosters creativity and so much more. It is a shock to me that due to budget cuts, music class is the first to be cut in most schools. In my opinion music class should be just as important as math science or English. "Schools with music programs have significantly...

...Capella University MBA6010 – Professional Effectiveness: Strength, Impact, and Reposition Professor Pamela Solberg-Tapper Assignment u06a2 – Professional Challenge – Coaching Analysis Final Paper By Dawn Patterson October 1, 2010 I. Overview In summarizing my learning from this course about the coaching and feedback process, I learned the most about myself during the classmate phase of the coaching process. Many things were illuminated over the course of the coaching sessions with my classmates and coworker. Turns out that the concern I brought to the forefront to receive coaching and direction on was one of many symptoms related to a greater issue that wasn’t as easily identifiable as other indicators had suggested. What I believed to be a problem with managing a stressful work environment really was an issue with effective communication. The coaching process is comprised of three elements; planning, conducting the discussion(s), and evaluating. In the planning phase I developed a short-term plan to help the coachee achieve their expressed goal. The next phase of the process, conducting the discussion entailed the actual delivery of the feedback. Lastly, the evaluation phase provided an opportunity to track the progress and adoption of the prescribed approach to train and develop the coachee. The evaluation phase also created an opportunity for the coachee to share feedback with the coach on the effectiveness of the coach’s delivery...

...There is a radio commercial that many of you will remember. “When E. F. Hutton speaks, people listen.” This morning we have to think about the question, when God talks, do we listen? It’s a serious question, and one that we always hope the answer for is a resounding, “yes!” Today is Transfiguration Sunday, the last Sunday before Lent. We celebrate this now precisely as a reminder that the one who leads us through the coming season of penitence and preparation is preparing us to participate in such glory with him both now and at his second coming. Hear the recounting of these events from Matthew: After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. 7 But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.” When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus. As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus...

...VARK ASSESMENT There are several ways to determine what an individual’s learning style is. For a student to perform at their best it is helpful to know what learning style works best for them and to understand their particular learning style. The VARK module is one of the most common models used today. It was developed by Neil Fleming in 1987 as a way to assist students in learning more about their individual learning styles (Cherry, 2012). VARK stands for visual, Aural, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic. A student can have a single learning style or multiple learning styles. If the student has multiple learning styles their learning preference would be called multimodal. The majority of learners fall under the multimodal as much as 60% of any population (Fleming, 2011). Educators can use the module as well they can use it teach more effectively. With it they can gain a better appreciation of how they process information which is what they use to teach. They can use their findings to develop teaching methods that can reach a broader student population encouraging their students to learn (Marcy, 2001). The VARK assessment was used to asses a student who is currently enrolled in college classes. The student was assessed for this paper and was found to have a multimodal (AK) learning preference meaning more than one learning preference. A multimodal learning can have several different combinations of styles. In this case the student scores showed Visual: 4, Aural:...

Someone that's there for you during the good and bad times. Someone who is caring . Someone who loves you with all their heart and soul. Someone who is interested in reality and not as a fashion display. Someone who is honest.

Someone who is never critical and ill-tempered in respect to your needs. Someone who knows when things have to be compromised in the relationship. Someone who understands listening is a key, but using what is heard is even more important. Someone who's there for you no matter what. Someone who is trustful. Someone who is a friend. Someone who gives a shoulder to cry on. Someone with a great sense of humor. Someone who has things in common with you.

...Elizabeth Anderson Journal# 10 Professor Jordan Section 3 Covey: Covey’s fifth habit is: Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood. He talks about the importance of communication and what he calls “empathetic listening” saying that most people listen with the intent to reply. When we listen we listen on one of four levels (ignoring, pretending, selective listening, or attentive listening) and very few people practice this highest form of listening which is empathetic listening. Empathic listening is effective when you have the best interest of the other in mind, if you genuinely seek the welfare of the others. This can be applied to real life in regards to effective parenting techniques. In an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond called “Father Knows Least” Raymond and his wife sign up for a Parenting class where they learn about active listening. In this clip he practices these techniques with his daughter Allie in order to try to get through to her about her bad behavior. Here, he tries to see her perspective, he relates to her, and makes eye contact and appropriate body gestures. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VOubVB4CTU I can apply this to my own life by trying to remember that I will actually be more effective if I put forth the extra effort to listen and engage and empathize with who I am speaking to, whether I want to or not. People will look up to me and respect me more if they feel like I genuinely care about them. Another thing that stuck out...

...Expressive skills and receptive skills make up the two skills of communication. Speaking and writing are generally referred to as expressive skills; they provide the means by which we express ourselves to others. The receptive skills, listening and reading, are the ways in which we receive information. It has been reported that senior officers of major North American corporations spend up to 80 percent of their working time in meetings, discussions, face-to-face conversations, or telephone conversations. Most employees spend about 60 percent of the workday listening. Since such a large percentage of one's waking time is consumed by listening activities, it is clear that we could increase our productivity through listening training. Listening consumes about half of all communication time, yet people typically listen with only about 25 percent of their attention. Ineffective listening is costly, whether it occurs in families, businesses, government, or international affairs. Most people make numerous listening mistakes every day, but the costsinancial and otherwisere seldom analyzed. Because of listening mistakes, appointments have to be rescheduled, letters retyped, and shipments rerouted. Any number of catastrophes can arise from a failed communication regardless of the type of industry. Productivity is affected and profits suffer. Research indicates that we hear only 25 percent of what is said and, after two months, remember only one-half of that. This has not always...
