拒絕認輸 聽損兒躍上聽奧舞台

台灣聯合晚報 2011年1月27日

「當下真的很難接受！」身為啟聰學校老師，陳文通面對第一個期待已久的孩子梓盈竟是聽損兒時，完全拒絕接受，結果錯過黃金治療期。所報後來接觸雅文基金會，讓女兒接受聽覺口語法的訓練，現在的梓盈，不僅能夠彈奏鋼琴，還是2009年聽障奧運中，年紀最輕的游泳選手！

「誕生在無聲的世界」

台灣蘋果日報 | A11 | 頭條要聞 2010-08-02

平均每1千個新生兒，就有6人出生在「無聲的世界」裡。

快滿5歲的亞蘴（音同風），是爸媽摯愛的小女兒，上有一個哥哥。但爸媽享受小女兒報到的喜悅不久，自費幫女兒做新生兒篩檢，卻發現女兒先天聽障。亞蘴媽媽回憶，聽到檢查結果時，「我很震驚，不太相信。 想起么女可能一輩子活在無聲世界裡，簡直是青天霹靂。」

The Gift of Hearing

The phone rings. Julius Goh, five, answers on the second ring. A voice from the receiver tells him to pick up a plastic frog on the table, which he triumphantly does. Then he sets it down and proceeds to pick up a colourful clown, a grey mouse and a host of other toys, all while his mother watches with bated breath.

This scene seems like a typical children’s game, except for two important details. First, it took place at Singapore General Hospital’s (SGH) Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Centre. Second, Julius was born with Large Vestibular Aqueduct Syndrome, which means that one of the channels in his inner ear responsible for conducting sound is larger than normal. For Julius, hearing others was like listening to an underwater conversation.
