That Man is  You:  Becoming a Man after God's Own Heart:

1 in 5 men have a hearing loss, so if you want to engage them, they need 'effective communication access' that is real time engagement (sign language, CART, audio induction loops). 

60 percent of veterans, many who are men have a hearing loss.  That man is them too.  

Engage them in real time if you want to engage the Man culture.  Other wise they'll be disconnected without 'effective communication' access.

Hearing impairment is more widespread then you think.


"What does it mean for communication to be “effective”? Simply put, “effective communication” means that whatever is written or spoken must be as clear and understandable to people with disabilities as it is for people who do not have disabilities."
"Accessible meeting space allows

 everyone to participate." 






"For the Deaf or Hard of Hearing:





Arrange for seating the Deaf community in the 


front, near the


 speaker.


Arrange for interpreter or real time captioning 


services at 


least 


two weeks in advance.


Utilize room amplification system or personal 


amplification


 system…"

"The importance for people with any 

disability to interact 

in a standard setting rather than do it 

differently is 

critical,"

"Out of 100 people, 10 have a significant

 hearing problem. Of those 10 people, one

 or two use sign language. The rest do not 

know sign language."
