Deaf Awareness Month 2021: What you can do to help

It can be difficult to live a normal life with permanent hearing loss. We are working to make hearing loss a non-issue with technology.

The World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) started the Deaf Awareness Month initiative. It coincides with International Day of Sign Languages (2021) and International Week of the Deaf People (2021). The main purpose of the event, which was established in 1958, is to raise awareness and advocate for all those with hearing loss. Bellman & Symfon’s goal to help people with hearing loss or deafness is to create high-quality products that meet their everyday needs. We have everything you need, from hearing amplifiers to assistive listening devices.

Bellman & Symfon specifically designed the Visit Smart Home system with hearing loss in mind. The Visit Smart Home system makes it easy for the hard-of-hearing and deaf to see all important signals in their home. This includes the doorbell, phone ringing, and even serious alarms like smoke or carbon monoxide alarms. This alert system was created to give the deaf community security.

Visit Smart Home uses transmitters and receivers that work together. The transmitters detect signals like ringing a telephone, doorbell, smoke detector, or carbon monoxide alarm. The transmitter then wirelessly connects with a receiver device, such as vibrations, flashes and loud sounds. You can program the Pager Receiver to emit different colors for additional transmitters.

The Push Button Transmitter acts as a wireless doorbell. The button is pressed by the user, which signals the receiver to alert the hard-of-hearing person with sounds, lights or vibrations. You can also use it as a personal phone button. 

When a transmitter is activated, the Pager Receiver will send out vibrations and color lights. It’s small and lightweight so it can be carried around in your pocket or belt. You can also connect a Bed Shaker accessory to the charger during the night.

Hearing Loss Advocate

Do not be afraid to share your struggles with hearing loss with family and friends. Ask your friends and family members who have hearing loss what they can do to help you. You can help by adding captions to all videos and being more expressive when speaking. It is the small things that make a difference.

Learn basic ASL

A few signs of American Sign Language can be helpful in communicating with non-verbal and hearing-impaired people. You can find tons of apps that allow you to quickly learn new signs. The largest minority group in America is the deaf community, but they are not represented well. It is important for everyone to learn how to communicate with others, especially the deaf community.

The Anatomy of the Perfect Doughnut

The perfect donut is moist as well as airy. But that balance is often hard to achieve and with these tips, you’ll be able to do just that.
Moisture

The first thing you need to remember is that every donut meets its moisture requirement in different ways. Every donut is different in its own way. But in each variety, there is also a set traditional level of moisture that should be taken into consideration. The moisture of the cake, as well as the icing, should be in equal quantity. That is why the relationship between the outer layer and the inner donut is integral in creating the right moisture content.

1.     How it looks

Donuts should also look pretty on the eye as it shouldn’t be a treat just for your taste buds. Donuts can be presented in many forms when it comes to pleasing the eye. There are sprinkles, icing or even sugar crystals.

2.     The freshness

This is a prerequisite for any food and when it comes to donuts, this is particularly true. As donuts have very little shelf life, it is important to make them as fresh as possible. That is why you need to be on the lookout for freshly made donuts from places such as Krispy Kreme that let you know when the donuts have been made fresh. It is okay if you ask other places if the donuts there are fresh. The icing should also be fresh and shouldn’t be dry. The smell is also a great indicator as to how fresh it is. If a donut requires one bite removed from the rest of the donut, there is no doubt that the donut has gone stale.

3.     The curvature

One of the most fundamental factors to identifying a donut is its curvature. A perfect donut will not only be delicious, but also symmetric and easy on the eye. But a donut’s worth doesn’t simply lie on its perfect curvature. The imperfections also can influence how good a donut looks. A slight pinch of the dough can make a donut come to life as it would give a made-with-love feel.

4.     The filling

A donut that’s made to perfection shouldn’t have a mediocre filling such as whipped creep or canned raspberry jam. Instead, the donut must have freshly made cream, lemon curd or caramel. This will only make the donut even more amazing.

5.     The unexpected

When looking at a donut, you might feel as though it is only a regular donut. But that’s where you must be deceived. This surprise can be in the form of its shape or topping. Even buying a box of donuts to surprise your coworkers will add to the surprise element as a delicious box of donuts will do nothing but bring a happy smile to everyone
