Hello.
My name is shohaku.
I am Japanese hearing impaired college student.
Currently, I am studying in the USA to become an audiologist.
This blog, "Because I wanna see your smile again" is blog for encouraging Japanese hearing impaired people who are suffering from the earthquakes and accidents in atomic powered generation.
In fact, some hearing impaired people are having communication problems with people in the evacuation centers, because there is no sign language interpreter.
Also, some hard of hearing people lost/broken their hearing aids by damages from earthquakes or Tsunami.
So, I sent e-mail to major hearing aid companies and CI companies around the world such as Phonak, SIEMENS, GN Resound, Oticon, MED-EL, Cochlear, Advanced-Bionics etc...
Fortunately, most these companies decided to provide hearing aid/CI batteries and repair their products by Free!!!
However, most Japanese hearing impaired people are still having psychological problems.
I strongly want to decrease their stress.
I strongly want to bring them smile.
But I cannot do by myself.
I need other deaf or hard of hearing people who are living IN THE WORLD.
Please give me your encourage message.
Please show me your pure hearts.
I named this project, "Sending Genkidama for hearing impaired in Japan."
Please spread this link to your deaf/hard of hearing friends.
If you have friends such as Audiologists, hearing aid dispensers, and hearing aid dealer, please tell them about this project also.
Some hearing aid dispensers and dealers are also living in the evacuation centers.
The rule of the project
- write your comments on this blog.
- Avoid long comments.
- Avoid short sentence.
- Write your nationality.
- Don't use slander words.
- Make them positive.
- Make them Smile!
- Use English language only!
I will translate English to Japanese after I check your comments surely.
Now, It's time to make a big GENKIDAMA!!
"Everyone, Please give me your energy!!!! "
Dear Japanese! Big greetings to you from Russia! =) I believe that you are all well! I give you my smiles =) =) =) =) =) And I hope you'll smile!!!!
ReplyDeleteFighting!!!!!!!
I am Russian.
I'd suggest in the sentence "they are still having psychological problems" to replace "they" with "hard-of-hearing Japanese people". Otherwise it sounds like it is companies that have problems...
ReplyDeleteThank you for your suggestion. I'll change this sentence as soon as I possible. ;)
ReplyDeleteOur prayers from New Jersey go out to you.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to the people of Japan, and especially to the Hard of Hearing & Deaf.
ReplyDeleteYou keep strong and smiling, Airi!
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best from Holland.
Hi shohaku
ReplyDeleteyou are doing great. We feel sorry to see what happened in Japan, but same time we know Japanese are brave and they will rebuild everything. Our prayer with all of you Japanese. And we are sending warm wishes to Japanese Hard of Hearing people and we hope they all will get their hearing aids and CI repaired or replace, and start hearing the world again, soon.
