Chairman Speaks
Vision
Dear Friends,
A world without activity limitation for persons with communication disorders.
But for your patronage year 2015 would not have ended so beautifully well. We have done good in all aspects of our functioning without compromising on quality of services, training or innovative need felt initiatives. The activities of this semester including the academic initiatives as scheduled are reflected in this issue. SIGN BEE is an innovative initiative of the Institute partnering with IEEE and GLASS, Bangalore in an effort to create an accessible world for persons with hearing impairment. The hearing children participated with great enthusiasm in learning sign language!! We hope this initiative would reach the momentum of SPELL BEE event being held in large scale in the country annually. The SIGN BEE is a socially more relevant program and is given due coverage in UN News on Disability. The members of the Governing Council have assisted in guiding us in development activities with implementable suggestions. Profuse thanks to all the members. Inspite of busy schedules, the Trustees and members of management committee have devoted their time for Grievances Meeting and the Founders day meetings. The year ahead has to be more development oriented. We can achieve this only with the continued involvement of the staff, Trustees, donors and well wishers. Wish You All a Very Happy 2016.

Mobile Bus and Outreach Unit Mobile Speech and Hearing Outreach Bus
With the aim of reaching out to the underprivileged and those who are unaware/unable to reach the facilities of the Institute, the Mobile Speech and Hearing Bus has been launched with the support of Lions Club of Bangalore East. The mobile outreach bus is offering comprehensive audiological evaluation, treatment and consultation services for people with speech and hearing impairments. The bus comes with many features including a sound treated room, GSI -61 audiometer and middle ear analyser. Of the 1.2 million children born in Karnataka every year, less than 10 percent are born in corporate hospitals with facilities for hearing screening and intervention. Over 1,200 children are born with significant hearing impairment in the state annually. Therefore this project has been launched with the objective of providing preventive healthcare through hearing screening and early intervention services for the rural and urban children. The services of the mobile speech and hearing clinic can be availed by elders as well. The mobile bus has reached out to senior citizens at many old age homes across Bangalore.

Disability Certification for Persons with Hearing Impairment as under PWD Act 1995: Lessons Learnt & Way Forward
- Prof. R. Rangasayee •E-mail: rangasayee2002@yahoo.co.in
1. Eligibility for Certification:
• Persons with hearing impairment in India are those with a Pure Tone Average Hearing Loss of 60 dB (average of Hearing Loss at 500Hz, 1K, 2K, and 4K) in the better ear in pure tone audiometry and Word Recognition Score (WRS) of 60 percent or less in Speech audiometry.
2. Requirements to Test Hearing:
• Pre requisite for ascertaining the above criteria are as follows:-
i. Calibrated clinical audiometer with facility for speech audiometry and a talk back system.
ii. Sound treated double room as per ANSI S3.1-1991 standard.
iii. A qualified Audiologist as per RCI Act 1992.
iv. Standardised word list, both spondee (Bi Syllabic word) and Phonetically Balanced (PB) word list for assessing the word recognition ability of the client. The PB list in short is prepared in a way that the list represents the frequency of occurrence of phonemes in a given language. The list is language specific.
• Ones the hearing evaluation is done, fulfilling the requisites as above, and if the word recognition score is 60% or less and PTA in better ear is 60dBHL or less, then the percentage of Hearing loss is calculated as given below.
3. Calculating percentage of Hearing loss:
Monaural and Binaural percentage of Hearing Disability is calculated by using following formula:
• STEP 1: Monaural percentage of Hearing Disability = PTA – 25 x 1.5
• STEP 2: Binaural percentage of Hearing Disability = [(Better ear percentage x 5) + poorer ear percentage] / 6
• 25dBHL is considered as lower fence while 95dBHL is considered as higher fence.
Beware of Impersonation
A major came to verify of we can confirm that we had tested a given employee. In reality, that employee had deceived by bringing his hearing impaired brother for testing but gave his own name, age etc while registering the case. Since we are only a testing center and not a certifying center, the report was taken to a certifying center and a disability certificate was taken in the name of the fraudster. 4. Way forward:
In view of sizeable number of malingerers, the certifying agencies are advised to do the following as a matter of precaution
1. Do ABR Test for all clients coming for Certification.
2. Take Left thumb impression of the testee for records.
3. Take Photograph of the testee for records.
While number 1 above identifies malingerers, number 2 and 3 are done to safe guard from attempts of impersonation.
In order to streamline the process, one may consider
i. Surveying the capacity of certifying agencies to begin with and
ii. Nominating competent centers to monitor the requirements of certifying agencies, such as calibration of audiometer, sound treatment level in the test booths etc.
