I’m your host, Dr. Lilach Saperstein and I’m very excited today to be speaking with Dr. Ruth Reisman in New York. I know that many, many of you have questions about auditory processing disorder, the process of getting diagnosis, what the treatment is, what even is auditory processing disorder in kids and adults. So, I’m really excited for a very informative conversation. First, let me welcome Dr. Ruth. How are you? Welcome. [00:00:34] Dr. Ruth Reisman: Thank you. Thank you so much. It’s a pleasure to be here and to have the opportunity to speak with you and present on this platform. I am, as you said, from New York. I support the audiology field in multiple aspects. In addition to my private practice where I do work with individuals that have auditory processing disorders predominantly focusing on individuals that actually have. ADHD as a comorbid disorder. And I’ll explain as I go into that, as to why that became my area of focus or a specialty. [00:01:06] Dr. Lilach Saperstein: I have to tell you right away that that Venn diagram I discussed that Venn diagram on the regular, so we’re going to go into that for sure. [00:01:14] Dr. Ruth Reisman: Great. Great. I’m excited to talk about it and, and, and let you know how I got into that. And then in addition to that, I do work at a cochlear implant company or hearing implant company, I should say, cuz it’s not just cochlear implants called Medel. So, we support patients with their implants as well and, and aural rehabilitation, just like auditory processing comes into play in that arena as well. And then one of my favorite things to do is to teach at the university and I teach multiple classes on, on all of these wonderful things, aural rehab, hearing aids, so I’m happy to talk about anything always related to audiology. [00:01:50] Dr. Lilach Saperstein: Same. Anytime we find someone who’s going to talk to me about these things, I’m like totally into it. sign me up. These are my topics. So, I think a lot of people are curious as to how you got into audiology in the first place. You know, if you thought at the beginning when you got into it that you would be involved in all these other things down the line. [00:02:11] Dr. Ruth Reisman: Yeah, no, that’s a great question. I guess audiology kind of chose me, which I, which I always say as I go through the field, all of these areas kind of choose me. Initially I had started actually in pharmacy, so I was doing a lot of science-based courses. I actually witnessed my mother suffer through hearing loss, so she had bilateral otosclerosis as she was having children and, and as we were growing up it got progressively worse. So, I’ve seen her go through the process of diagnosis, getting hearing aids and then getting surgery and her hearing actually going back to normal. So, it was a really interesting, to witness her go through all of those stages and I became really very interested in the field of audiology. It started of course with, with speech therapy, like the majority of audiologists start, and I kind of got into the field that way, but I ...

This week on the All About Audiology podcast: 4:30 – Certain unwanted behaviors that we see in children who are Deaf of HoH are attributed to their hearing loss. 6:22 – Cultural norms can be a barrier for one to recognize that they might have hearing loss. 7:10 – Turning captions on during a TV show or movie is an example of Universal Design. 13:22 – Just because someone receives a hearing aid or CI, doesn’t mean that it’s doing its job correctly or that it’s fit properly. 32:00 – It is helpful to talk about your own or a loved one’s hearing loss journey so that all the feelings do not get bubbled up inside. 43:00 – It is crucial to seek treatment as soon as possible For more resources and research visit: All About Audiology Website All About Audiology Facebook group All About Audiology Instagram Related Episodes: Podcast episode about Universal Design Mentioned in this episode: Patreon Orka Podcast episode about Universal Design The All About Audilogy Facebook Group All About Audiology on Tiktok All About Audiology on Instagram https://drlilach.teachable.com/p/all-about-you-52 Transcript: Dr. Lilach Saperstein: Welcome back to The All About Audiology podcast. I’m your host, Dr. Lilach Saperstein, and this is a very interesting and special episode – All About You: an interview with Xinke Liu, who is going to talk about her journey with hearing aids, Cochlear Implants, and also about multilingualism, multiculturalism, moving around the world. And I’m really excited to share this story with you and have Xinke share her experiences. Many parents and people who have a Deaf or HoH child in their life are in this All About Audiology community, and everyone should feel that their story is represented in some way. So lots and lots of different people have shared their story on the podcast, and I invite you to do the same. If you’re interested in being a guest – DM me on Instagram and be in touch so that our community can continue to grow and help each other and support one another. So welcome Xinke. How are you? Xinke Liu: I’m good. Thank you. I am thrilled to be here. So happy to be here. I mean, I wish there was a program like All About Audiology when I first knew I had hearing loss when I was 15. So with all this information, my hearing journey would have been a lot different. I would not have wasted like 7 years before finding the right solution for me. And the transcript – I mean, I’m sure you’re pulling a lot of effort, proofreading and correcting the transcripts and for us with hearing loss it’s always such a delight to see a podcast, with accurate transcripts. So thank you, Dr. Lilach. LS: Oh, thanks for mentioning that! Because it always is so important to be accessible! I’m trying to do something for a particular community of people. Of course it would be my goal to do that. And yet it’s a big, like you said, effort and expense. So I’m grateful to the supporters of the podcast. If anyone wants to join our Patreon, this is a good time to mention that your support really helps for the production of the show. But I know that there’s always more to do like captioning on Instagram stories and making sure [there is] accessible, alternate text. There’s always more things I’m learning but thanks for mentioning that. So I’d love to hear a little bit about your background if you could start. Where were you born? And how did you grow up? XL: So my name is Xinke Liu. I was born in China. I had hearing loss when I was 15 years old. Now, I’m a bilateral cochlear implant user, but before that I used hearing aids for about 7 years. And now I’m the co-founder of Orka. Orka is a hearing aid company. We design hearing aids, [and] general purpose chips. LS: So before the age of 15. Did you have any problems with your hearing? Did anyone in the family have any suspicions? What was it like growing up? XL: No one ever suspected that. I think it’s kind of absurd because when I had my first hearing test at age 15, the results came out. And it was profoundly severe on one side, and severe on the other side, so at that point I should have went straight with cochlear implants, but I didn’t. And I think me and my family just kind of ignored the signs, because I wasn’t struggling in school. I wasn’t struggling making friends or anything. I thought I was just having attention deficiency problem. I remember that I used to...

I’m your host, Dr. Lilach Saperstein. It is January, 5th 2023, when I’m recording this in not the most ideal audio conditions to be honest, I’m in a very reverberant room. And that is because I got rid of a bunch of furniture in this office space /guest room that I record out of. And so it does sound, not the best, but I felt that it’s very important for me to model the fact that “perfection is the enemy of the good” and I miss you guys and I want to talk to you. And I want to get a podcast episode out for you to tell you about the incredible, amazing community that we are coming together for this year in a project: All About You 52. All About You 52 is something I have really been percolating on for a long time. Well, let me explain it like this: a year and a half or so. We had our Connect And Advocate group with just a very small and intimate group of moms who all have Deaf or HoH children. And we came together three times a month, not exactly weekly, but very close and intense bond working together on how to advocate for your children, how to feel connected to them, and most importantly – how to connect to ourselves what we want and the kind of vision of our families. And in that Connect And Advocate group, some absolute magic was happening. And one of the things that I really, really enjoyed sharing with the group were these audio meditations and mindfulness exercises, being able to connect with your breath with your intention with your hopes, with your dreams, with your fears, with your anxieties, like just with whatever is and those sessions that we had sometimes the most powerful things that were coming out of our work together was because and thankfully due to those [meditation] tools. And then on a personal note, I have also really benefited from mindfulness techniques and really, really tuning into myself in my surroundings. So, what I created with this All About You 52 is something that I wanted to take all those tools and make it wrapped up into very small bite size and accessible and convenient short audios week by week – 52 weeks of the year. With a small but simple and powerful technique to learn together and work on as a community. So in the All About You 52 group, which already has several members that are ready to go [and] it’s never too late because this project is ongoing throughout the year; jump in at any time no matter when you’re hearing this. If you join the community then you will have weekly new episodes that are exactly five to 10 minutes and it’s just a short audio clip of me teaching you a different exercise or going through a different type of visualization or meditation that you can do in a short amount of time. And journal prompts and discussion questions to really get you thinking about how you will make your week the best week. I know there’s a lot of energy around the New Year, and around new beginnings, around changes in seasons – where we really want to be our best selves and we want the most for our lives. But we also have to be realistic because as much as it’s exciting to open up a new notebook or you know, start a new project, it’s the accountability that we need to keep us consistent. So there’s something really magical and powerful that’s going to happen when ...
