With the recent political hype in Britain over and the introduction of the first coalition government since 1954, there are a lot of important issues that need attention. Recent discussions with other hearing professionals have led me to believe deafness and hearing loss do not appear to be among them.
You may not have considered who you voted for when choosing a party based on your hearing loss but we were wondering what the parties views were before the conservative/liberal government took charge at number 10.
While their manifestos talk about equal rights and disability, there was very little in the case of issues relating to deafness or people hard of hearing. From the very little information provided it was clear the political parties were riding on past achievements dealing with these issues. Although some pledges are made for the future things should be taken with a pinch of salt.
The conservative party has promised to increase spending in the NHS whilst prioritising, providing first line services with the technology and equipment they need. They also claim to make spending more accountable, thus helping departments like audiology provide hearing aids more quickly.
The liberal democrats talked a lot about disability as a whole and how they would encompass that into their plan. One important issue they also noted was that teachers would have better training in helping to identify children with special needs.
As labour had been in power for thirteen years their approach was to talk about past success and use facts and figures. Some achievements were excellent and they should be commended. With my personal experience with regards to the NHS and waiting times especially for hearing aids I was highly disappointed. The amount of patients we see who have a poor experience with NHS is really appalling, in some cases a 10 week wait others 6. It’s just not on.
I just hope that this improves for those who decide not to go private when choosing digital hearing aids.
There are other issues like Disability Living Allowance and Attendance Allowance but I won’t go into those.
To think that there are approximately 9 million people in the UK suffering from a hearing loss, you would think that the parties would provide more specific information about what they would do if elected for the deaf and hard of hearing. I personally believe it is not acceptable and we deserve better. hearing aid prices are now available to the masses.
If you’re already detecting the signs of hearing loss you may be considering having a hearing test, and this will certainly identify the range and extent of hearing loss, helping you on the way to obtaining a form of hearing aid appropriate to your needs. For anyone who suspects that they have suffered a degree of hearing loss, reducing exposure to sustained loud noise is certainly likely to help reduce any further damage, and having a hearing test will provide you with the information you need to assess what your needs are in terms of a solution.

Citizens who are being anesthetized by the lame stream media are usually not paying attention. Digging deep to discover the truth is not likely a part of their repertory mosaic. But, more and more people are waking up. Why? It’s partially because the lies are becoming so frequent, one would have to be brain challenged not to catch at least a few of them. For example, remember when the tea party people were complaining that there were death panels in the proposed health care bill? Many liberals and many of their media puppets were proclaiming that there was no such thing as death panels in the health care bill. Then on Facebook, Sara Palen complained about the death panels and what happened? The powers that be (the Democrats) took out the “non-existent” death panels! It must have been such an embarrassment to delete something that they claimed didn’t exist to begin with. But it demonstrated that the lies are so frequent that the liars have hardly a moment of shame; they simply go on to their next lie.
Americans-Are-Changing (to the tune of The Times They Are A Changing).
Thankfully, the Americans will have the final say. A big part of the garbage will be dumped in November. Unfortunately, some of those getting elected will also be corrupt once they get into office. But they too will slowly fade from power.
What is the opposite of a tea party march? It’s when 14 bus loads of union thugs are bussed onto someone’s front lawn to intimidate the neighborhood with bull horns. This happened in Maryland. The Maryland police refused to control the crowd. The DC police who escorted the mod to the neighborhood refused to control the crowd. Whose front lawn was it? The property belonged to a Bank of America lawyer, who was not in the house. His 14-year-old son was inside and was scared out of his mind. If the tea party people had done such a thing it would have been front-page news for at least three weeks. But since it is the Lefties who are doing it, the lame stream media can just yawn and put the story on the back burner or off the stove completely. Fox News ran the story for a while to point out the discriminatory way in which the lame stream media reports on people who are protesting.
Things-Are-About-To-Change (to the tune of Battle Hymn of The Republic).
The Lefties in the United States would like so very much to replicate the tea party movement, but they can’t do it. The coffee parties didn’t work out. The union thug gatherings are not working out so good. Unlike the tea parties, the union thug gatherings do become violent at times. Last year, for example, the union thugs of SEIU beat a man, Kenneth Gladney, down to the ground and used the N word against him. If the tea party people had beaten a union thug to the ground, the Bolsheviks would be calling for a congressional investigation. It is certainly not a level playing field in congress. But that is about to change. Lots of the garbage is about to be taken out. Even though the health care albatross cannot be repealed, it will become un-funded by the Americans who get elected.
