What does 'HEARING HEALTH' mean to you?

Researchers in Manchester are starting an exciting new project to understand how different people view their hearing and their 'hearing health'. 

We would like to inviteDeaf BSL users who live or work in Greater Manchester to come to a workshop to discuss their own views of hearing and hearing health. The workshop will be run by Celia Hulme (a Deaf researcher) and a visual artist. No experience of research necessary, it is your experience as a BSl user that is important! The meeting will be BSL user friendly. 

Watch this BSL video about the project: https://bit.ly/2m2XuxB

When: Monday 23rd September 2019

Time: 6pm - 8.30pm

Where: Friends Meeting House, Central Manchester

If you wish to book your place or want more information, contact Paolo Arru via email or text. [email protected] or 07816 447520

    • Welcome to the forum, Jason! It's great that you've decided to learn BSL! How long have you been learning for up to now?
    • Hi, I'm Jason and I'm a student at uni : I'm learning BSL so I can communicate with and understand the deaf community more! I'm hoping to get a really good knowledge of BSL while I'm here.
    • Welcome to the forum! It's great that you've decided to learn BSL! How long have you been learning for up to now?
    • My interest came from BSL module in uni (student paramedic) and I wanted to build on my knowledge so that I would be able to communicate with patients in the future. I also love chatting to strangers and I want to be able to do that with people who sign to!! 
    • I work in commercial aviation as Senior Cabin Crew.   I wanted to learn Sign Language as we carry an increasing number of persons who identify as deaf, and I think it is an invaluable skill to have from a communication point of view. Although we have ASL and BSL capabilities via electronic QR codes on board, the ability to provide that personal and human interaction is equally important. 
    • I work in research and want to learn BSL to enable more inclusivity within this field. I work with many different communities and find that the deaf community is too often overlooked. I want to address this and hopefully learn a lot myself and maybe gain some new friends.  
    • Hello, I am a Clinical Research Practitioner. I recruit people to research studies mostly in hospitals but will be moving out into the wider community..
    • Hello both.  I’m also happy to practise some BSL, as with anyone on the site. Feel free to send me a message!
