E-Zine for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
http://pages.ivillage.com/cl-loluv/deafhardofhearing/
An e-zine is an online magazine. Ours is about being Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing. OR being related (Parent or Child for instance) to a person with a hearing disability. We have links here on our e-zine to many places to visit for information. Founded two years ago on www.Ivillage.com, by two friends, one an American and one a Canadian, the site includes articles, reviews, commentary and links. You can also visit our ivillage bulletin board. There you will find questions and answers and a place for you to list your OWN questions and answers, and enter into dialog with others that share your concerns.
Hearing Loss Web
http://www.hearinglossweb.com/
Hearing Loss Web is dedicated to people who have hearing loss, but are not members of the traditional Deaf community. This includes people who consider themselves to be hearing impaired, hard of hearing, late deafened, and oral deaf. We provide information on events, issues, support, and technology related to hearing loss.
History through Deaf Eyes
http://depts.gallaudet.edu/deafeyes/plan.html
This exhibition will place the social history of deaf Americans within the context of better-known aspects of American history. Development of a Deaf community and identity, language as both a cohesive and a divisive force, the impact of technological change, and struggles for self-determination will be focal points. Among the exhibition's goals are to make the deaf experience accessible to hearing Americans, to draw parallels with more familiar aspects of American history, to introduce visitors to both American Sign Language and the oral communication strategies employed by deaf people, and to bring the visual, literary, and performing arts that express the deaf experience to a national audience.
