I say this several times a week in one space or another: there are better ways to encourage open-mindedness about sign languages than to spread untruths about CIs, and there are better ways to encourage open-mindedness about CIs than to spread untruths about sign languages.

Started my morning by answering an interesting email. The gist of it: someone telling me that I shouldn’t have corrected another deaf person when they stated (incorrectly) that cochlear implant surgery is brain surgery. Here’s where I am on that:

@Chris_Riggers @BarrySeemungal In the falls clinic we were doing Hallpike or side lying and roll test for horizontal canal as part of a much wider system screen/test protocol (neurological/cardiovascular etc)

@Otto_English Yep - the online training as part of the process to become a vaccinator is pretty strict to make sure we give out accurate info. They should carry out similar training/screening for numpties like him 🙄

Journalists like Toby Young, who deny the seriousness of this pandemic and who know sweet FA about science and virology, should not be invited onto newsnight. End. Of.

Spent all day yesterday updating my eLfH record for the #vaccinator programme. Email arrived today letting me know they’re streamlining the process 🙄 At least I know all my training is up to date I guess!

So how is everyone getting on with their application to be a #vaccinator? 😬 It’s been a loooooooooong day! I think I should have thought about it much much earlier...

Anyone else seeing more ppl who are disorientated after overdoing the screen time during #lockdown? My mantra for 2021 is #MoveMore When I’m working at my desk I’ll be setting a timer to make sure I take a screen break every 30 mins and ensuring I walk/run outdoors every day 👍

@BarrySeemungal In my falls clinic experience a few years ago now 50% of falls clinic attenders had undiagnosed BPPV. Very few reporting vertigo. Vital to screen IMHO.

We are definitely going to be seeing these patients. I’m also seeing increasing frequency of Sx prob caused by reduced mobility/activity and increased screen time in lockdown amongst people who have not had acute COVID Sx

Part of my plan for my work is to provide educational resources about communication, hearing, and other audiology-related topics. When my website opens on Monday, I'll have handouts and eBooklets available. Others planned for the future. What topics would you like to see covered?
