About CS-‐Deaf and Hard of Hearing
Resource Specialists
For over ten years Christine Seymour and her team of educators have been providing services to people across the nation who are Deaf, hard of hearing, late-‐deafened and DeafBlind.
Each team member brings to every service we provide the life experience of hearing loss and a passion to make it easier for others.
“I have worked closely with Christine for many years. She excels in giving dynamic thought-‐provoking workshops that always leave us wanting more. She has an uncanny ability to cut through red tape, put the right people together and make good things happen. I can’t think of anyone more competent to work with and for people with hearing loss.” Penny Allen, Past President, Hearing Loss Association – Washington

CS
Ignore it! Avoid it! Deny it! Untreated Hearing Loss is a Serious Issue. The impact of hearing loss extends beyond communication problems. People with untreated hearing loss have a lower quality of life that may affect their emotional, social and even their physical well-‐being. Keeping up with conversations and overcoming the anxiety of being in social settings may result in stress-‐related psychological symptoms.
Our Professionals Can Help
Living with Hearing Loss CS team members are trained Peer Mentors who work with people who are making the transition from hearing to hearing aids. Our knowledge and skill acquired from meeting and working with hundreds of people with hearing loss, along with our life experience can instill hope and confidence in the newly-‐ diagnosed or progressive hearing loss patient.
Hearing Loss Help is Here
Staff Training Social and Senior Services staff encounter people with hearing loss every day. Recognizing the impact of hearing loss, along with effective communication strategies, provide understanding and skills to support successful communication and improve effectiveness in delivering services.
Assistive Listening Technology Assistive listening devices (ALDs) enhance individual and group communication in a broad range of settings. Telephones designed especially for people with hearing loss can amplify and caption calls and restore independence. Families, friends, co-‐workers, and service providers all benefit from supported communication.
