Communicating in a Marriage impacted by Hearing Loss.

It is frustrating when you live with someone that has a hearing loss! When you have to repeat something over and over before you are understood, can fray the nerves. Countless a r g u m e n t s h a p p e n b e c a u s e o f misunderstandings or out of sheer frustration when trying to be understood.

A normal conversation is spontaneous. When a spouse says, “Look at that” and has to repeat it several times, they will finally get to, “Never mind”. Conversations can become limited over time, with very short answers losing the richness, the flow and even the humor. A loss of intimacy begins to happen and there can be a sense of loneliness for the husband and wife.

The spouse and family members often substitute as the interpreter and this short-term solution can have side effects. Friction and resentment is often a result for the person who is doing the “listening and repeating”. For the person with a hearing loss, they can see the look on their spouse or child's face when they have to ask that something be repeated. It is hard for people to shout for the third time without looking angry.

The result to the hearing impaired person? Withdrawal. They simply begin to stop putting themselves in situations where it is difficult to

hear and understand. In other words, they can stop participating in their life. Perhaps they no longer want to spend time with the grandchildren (children's voices can be difficult to understand). People with a hearing loss can feel as if they are a burden to their spouse and sadly, they can feel stupid in social and listening situations-which they come to dread.

There are a few simple things to help ease the situation and help people to communicate.

Tell people you have a hearing loss, too simple to believe but very difficult for people to do. The statement can get an immediate understanding from people in the conversation.

Ask people to speak directly to you, keep your eyes on the person speaking! We communicate with body language and non-verbal cues.

Remind your spouse not to talk to you from another room, again it's simple, but we need (even those with normal hearing) the non-verbal cues.

If you need hearing instruments, just like your glasses, wear them!

Keep in mind, the more severe the hearing loss, the more important it is to use these listening tools. Be patient with your loved one, hearing loss occurs slowly over time and is a health condition that is all too often ignored. Encourage your spouse to have their hearing tested once a year. Just like your vision, your hearing continues to change over time and having it tested is the first step to understanding and if necessary, getting help for the loss.

The longer people go without getting help for

their hearing loss, the harder it is for them to relearn how to hear. The brain, where sound is processed has forgotten many sounds, and must relearn how to hear. An example is background noise, like the whirring of a fan is normally tuned out. For a person that has gotten help for their hearing, they will need to familiarize themselves with the sound, and then “tell” their brain to send it to the background.

For many people with an untreated hearing loss, background noise is as loud as the conversation and it makes speech understanding very difficult.

We live in a very noisy world and if you live long enough, you will loose some of your hearing. Rock concerts and loud music are one of the reasons people need help for their hearing at a much younger age.

Hearing loss is truly a condition that effects the spouse. They can become the human hearing aid, interpreting conversations and repeating themselves over and over. It's no wonder that relationships are strained. Be patient with each other and understand this disability. Make your lives easier by getting help for a hearing loss. In the last five year's technology has advanced to the computer age. Hearing devices are fit with a microchip and are more sophisticated then the one granddad wore. They are smaller and smarter using advanced digital technology.

Wednesday, January 2, 2013 NewsLeader A3

Cellphones able to take photos with more resolution than the first generation of expensive digital SLR cameras have helped make everyone a photographer.

Gone are the days of lugging around a canvas bag filled with lenses and filters. Extinct is the mysterious world of the darkroom, where chemicals and creativity could be mixed to create magic.

No sooner is the image saved into the camera’s memory when it can be shared through websites like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, SmugMug, Picasa.

Photography hasn’t just become an expression of the way

we see the world, it’s become a way to interact with the world.

See an item on a shopping expedition but not sure

if it’s the right colour? Snap a photo with the cellphone, text it back home and wait for the reply. And who hasn’t had the annoying experience of being surrounded by smartphone snappers at a concert or special event, more preoccupied with reliving the occasion back home on their computer than just enjoying the moment in the moment?

But have all these technological advancements that have made photography so ubiquitous actually made it better? Or has it become the 21st century expression of the proverbial infinite monkey theorem, that if a monkey is locked in a room with a typewriter long enough, it will eventually type Shakespeare? Is the monkey now holding a digital camera or cellphone?

A lot of the images that fly past us every day are just noise. They’re a reminder, a fleeting thought, an exclamation. They’re glimpsed, digested then discarded, time to move on to the next one.

Great photos rise above the noise. They make us stop. They make us see the everyday in a new way. They make us think.

Sometimes they’re a call to action. Sometimes they’re just a moment of appreciation.

Think of the significant news events of the past year and it’s likely a still image will flash through your mind: parents hugging their children at the Newtown shootings; Usain Bolt in full stride at the London Olympics; a luxury cruise ship tipped on its side off the Italian coast.

And for all the images posted on all the websites, a photo printed on actual paper still has currency, still conveys a sense of permanence and worth.Nobody boasts to their friends or family they got their picture on a website, but a photo in the newspaper gets on the refrigerator or pasted into the scrapbook.

Of course nobody is under the illusion that the photography within this special issue of the NewsLeader is great.

In fact, some of it is pretty routine. Or at least seemed that way when I first submitted them to accompany stories or stand on their own as coverage of the day-to-day happenings of Burnaby and New Westminster.

But on scrolling through the thousands of files stored on the hard drive they all jumped out as solid achievements of what every photojournalist sets out to do every day when they load their gear into the trunk of the car and hit the road; they tell stories. And collected together, they tell a pretty good story of the year that was.

Enjoy.


NewsLeader year iN photos: 2012

top left: This portrait of BCIT instructor and world adventurer Danny Catt isn’t a product of Photoshop trickery. It’s what happens when you’re trying different angles so

that it doesn’t look like we’re doing this photo in a BCIT parking lot and you see your subject through his binoculars the wrong way. right: The Mowat House is being moved

to make way for a new condo development. But it’s already up on the truck and it’s not going anywhere for a while, and the workers have pretty much all left; how to make a

static scene interesting? The truck’s mirror tells the story in one frame.

Clockwise from top left: The eternal challenge is shooting people with computers, but when the story is about some guys who have created a stock tips website, there’s no avoiding it. Some creative flash to make it appear the glow from their laptop is lighting their faces sets this shot apart; This was a “drive-by,” keeping an eye on the progress of Burnaby Central secondary’s demolition, waiting for a key moment like the demise of its sign; Photos of politicians at podiums are a dime a dozen. But some dramatic lighting, and a well placed flag in the background give this shot a feeling of importance; My car was stuck on a snowy dead end street, so I started to walk. I could feel the cold and dampness of the people waiting for a bus on Edmonds Street.

Always on the lookout for new angles to annual events, I was struck how some of the business of Hastings Street carries on even as the Hats Off Day parade passes by; The BC Senior Games was a big event in Burnaby this summer, involving thousands of athletes and volunteers. I was hoping to capture some of their spirit by taking a chance with this unique angle at the torch lighting to start the countdown to the event; It was a privilege to hang out on the ice for an hour with a group of blind kids, many of them getting their first chance to try skating thanks to a charitable organization that gives those kids a chance to try new activities. In the time I was there, many of them gained in confidence and were gliding across the surface, rather than clinging to the boards.

COMMENT EMail [email protected]

The time for vigils has passed“What a year!” It’s a sentiment that’s as old

as time. And it’s an expression that evokes the best and, unfortunately, the worst of the past 366 days.

Let’s start with the worst. I’ll remember 2012 as the year of the vigil. There seemed to be an endless amount of candles lit for victims of bullets and bullying. Aurora. Oak Creek. Newtown. Amanda Todd. The list goes on.

My family and I were in Washington, D.C. this summer for a wedding just after the temple shootings in Oak Creek, Wis. We attended a candlelight vigil in front of the White House. The message on that night was love and acceptance. It’s a message that needs to get louder. And our actions—as citizens, parents, educators and lawmakers—are the necessary amplifiers.

Speaking of acts of love and acceptance, the wedding was a joint Jewish-Sikh ceremony in one of the oldest synagogues in the capital. A rabbi and a preacher collaborated to intertwine the nuptial traditions of both

faiths. It was a beautiful sight: yarmulkes, turbans, stained glass windows and the celebration of a bright new beginning.

For my family, it represented the best of 2012. In these increasingly dangerous times, we all wish for peace and goodwill everywhere in 2013. But Bruce Cockburn’s classic lyrics ring truer than ever if we hope to make that wish a reality in the New Year: “nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight/ Got to kick at the darkness ’til it bleeds daylight.”

The time for vigils and candles has passed. Now is the time for us to be vigilant and stand up tall as the lighthouses in our communities.

Harman Pandher, Burnaby

Climate Change means we must adaptRe: Time to plan for a new climate (Letters, NewsLeader, Dec. 12)

Although I applaud Garth Evans for trying to present a more realistic point of view about climate change, it was still terrible to see media misreporting and

getting a distorted message out to interested people like Mr. Evans.

I refer specifically to Mr. Evans’ statement that “the entire Greenland icesheet will melt, and the sea level will rise seven meters, although the time scale for this is 100 years.”

I doubt Mr. Evans or anyone will ever find a climate scientist who will state that the entire Greenland ice sheet will collapse and melt in the next 100 years. One thousand years maybe, but not 100 years.

Put in context, Mr. Evans is correct—sea level rise is probably the biggest “threat” to the human race by a warming climate—because we have chosen to build many permanent settlements on coastlines. We continue to build in these areas—and recent disasters like those in the U.S. suggest that despite common sense, people still seem to like building where there is a chance of flooding, rising sea levels, storm surges, landslides, tsunamis, bushfires and many other non-climate related disasters. As a result, I disagree with Mr. Evans that it is

“not realistic to build dykes and sea walls.”

I would argue it is imperative if people persist in building in areas prone to natural disaster.

Scientists disagree over how much of a warming climate is man made, but at best, the estimates are in the 40 to 50 per cent range. That means 50 to 60 per cent of warming is completely beyond our control, so we’d better learn to adapt, along with taking measures to temper our contribution to the problem, and get sensible with where we choose to build our cities.

Sally GilliesBurnaby

we must proteCt our own interestsRe: Looking Back/Ahead: Kinder Morgan flew under the radar (NewsLeader, Dec. 28)

Readers, consider the possibility that the reason that Kinder Morgan’s (the largest U.S. pipeline company) Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project has not received the same attention as Enbridge’s North

Gateway project is that it is an American company.

It is a fact that both the Rockerfellers and the Tides families in the U.S. are the largest benefactors to Canadian environmental non-governmental organization (ENGO) and First Nations groups who have been standing in opposition to both TransCanada and Enbridge.

This is, in my opinion and in that of other informed Canadians, a perfect example of economic espionage. We as Canadians must work toward greater interprovincal trade and movement of goods, and support our hallmark corporations in the private sector who have decades of proven track record to bring sustainable growth.

This story about the Neighbours Helping Neigh-bours program at L’Arche was years in the making. Mostly because I always forgot to set it up every summer after learning about it a few years ago. This year I really needed a good story to tell and finally made the arrangements. The morning I spent with the guys as they made their rounds cleaning up the yards and cutting lawns for local seniors was the most fun on assignment I’d had all year because of their camaraderie and dogged determination to get the job done.

Around here that means a lot of rain; Julia Smith harvests squash at Urban Digs Farm, the three-acre farm she operates on Byrne Road in South Burnaby; Early November is cranberry harvest time, and the floating red berries always make for a colourful feature. This is shot from the top of the container truck used to transport the berries from the bog in South Burnaby to the processing plant; The spring freshet on the Fraser always makes from some fun and creative photo possibilities. They’re especially easy now that the NewsLeader’s office is right along the foreshore; The weather is usually a part of the story of the annual Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival. This year it was hot and people were cooling off at the water station. The rest was just waiting for the background to clean up and the light to fall just right.

Credit Challenged?we have the

solution



Clockwise from top left: When in doubt, be the wall. To illustrate a story about asbestos testing, for which specially equipped technicians don hazmat suits and cut open pieces of wall, we used cardboard

to simulate the view the wall would get of the procedure; The BCIT open house can be a little overwhelming because there is so much going on. And with only an hour or so to get in and get out, I’ve got to target the best opportunities that will result in compelling photos. This one wasn’t on my list, but I stumbled upon this lab while hurrying between two departments and immediately recognized its visual potential; A doctor who’s also a rock musician in her spare time? The photo practically takes itself!; The

radio remote that allows me to put my flash anywhere I need it is one of the most-used pieces of gear in my arsenal. This time, it’s in the oven; Jim Ervin has been building models for more than 30 years. He eyes one of his favourites; It wasn’t the nicest day to be shooting a portrait of a rower, so why not turn

a sow’s ear into a silk purse by using the roiling heavy cloud cover in the photo; I first saw Interstyle’s distinctive glass tiles while shooting another story about a new environmental and energy-efficient

home. I made a mental note and eventually called the company to ask for a tour of their Burnaby plant.



Clockwise from top left: Sometimes

you’re just driving along and you see

something that makes you smile;

Gamers are pretty dedicated to their

hobby, so I suspected there would be

some good photos to be had at the

Trumpeters Gaming convention at Bonsor Rec Centre; Farmers markets are always

great fodder for interesting and

colourful characters; The watchers

become the watched when the Batmobile makes a special visit to Electronic Arts; A “furry” convention?

It practically screams for a photo op; This

photo started out as a message on

Twitter that led to a Facebook page

that led to a special obstacle course race

at BCIT.



Clockwise from top left: Sometimes I’m envious of photographers in Australia who get to shoot Aussie Rules Football all the time. Here, the challenge is to keep up with the game’s frenetic

pace and immense field; Rugby is all about the faces; Sometimes football is like roughhouse ballet. Especially in the rain; The thrill of scoring a goal, and the agony of letting one in, all

in the same frame at the annual Play On road hockey tournament at Metrotown; The Canadian Olympic rowing team was in town for some training en route to London, so it presented a nice

opportunity to capture top athletes at work in a beautiful setting; The 40+ division of the Lower Mainland Baseball Association has been a favourite subject of mine for years. These guys play

hard and always seem to having a good time; I first photographed Christine Sinclair when she was playing for Burnaby South secondary. But since she went global, the opportunities to get her in game action have been few and far between. The Olympic qualifiying tournament at BC Place

Stadium was a perfect chance to get some current photos as well as to see how far she’s come.

7 OBITUARIES

MILJANIC, Gordana

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Gordana Miljanic, 53, on De-cember 23, 2012 at Royal Columbian Hospital after a courageous battle with cancer. Gordana was born in Zemun, Serbia on March 3rd, 1959. She was the daughter of Milenko and the late Ana Kusic. She leaves behind her husband, Todor, children Jelena (Aleksandar) and Sava (Kelly), beloved grandchildren Marko and Ana, father Milen-ko, sister Svetlana, nieces Ire-na, Vesna and Vera and many other family members and close friends. Gordana was an incredible person. She was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend. She loved spend-ing time with her grandchil-dren. She also loved cooking, travelling, astrology, and above all spending time with her friends and family. She will be remembered for her posi-tivity, laughter, and joyful spirit. She never gave up on any-thing she had started, and worked hard to make life bet-ter for her family. Gordana’s Funeral was held on Thurs-day, December 27 at 11:00 am at the Serbian Orthodox Church St. Archangel Michael`s on 7837 Canada Way in Burnaby.
