...
y, tags along on his morning routine and, with the help of her special friend, we learn that it takes more than hearing aids to help Skyler feel like talking again.This 35-page full color children’s book by Audiologist Jim Bombicino provides avenues for discussion and building vocabulary by highlighting the difficulties that students may face each day, including mishearing and misunderstanding information, the effect of background noise, and consequential frustration and confusion that can happen when the ease of daily communication is taken for granted by typically hearing persons. In this case, the story follows a young boy as he awakens and prepares for a typical school day.This video version includes audio of the text read by actors, while their voices are filtered to imitate how Skyler hears through his hearing aids! Listening situations include a speaker with added background noise, simultaneous speakers, a speaker talking too quickly, and mishearing words—all heard as they come through Skyler’s hearing devices. Perfect for helping teachers, families, and classmates understand what a hearing loss might be like. Finally put typically hearing adults and children in the shoes of the child with hearing loss!Video download can be accessed on any device. Please respect the copyright and creativity of the author and avoid sharing as freeware.For grades 3-6
