Hearing aid for the deaf-and-dumb pedagogue

The fate of this sympathetic woman cannot be called simple and carefree. Rather, her life is a way of asserting oneself and others around her right to normal life. Viktoria was born in an unusual family, where the 5th generation suffers hearing impairment. Having hereditary tightness on both ears of 3 degrees, the girl studied remotely at home. The peers evil treated her and studying in secondary school became impossible. Not surprisingly, best Viktoria's friends have become books. 

Despite the difficulties, Victoria graduated from school and continued her studies at a vocational school in the specialty of a seamstress cutter. And in parallel, she studied at night school, completing the full 12 classes with honors. However, this girl did not stop, feeling a thirst for knowledge. Viktoria joined the Dragomanov Pedagogical University on specialty "Correctional education. Surdopedagogy and special philosophy". Having received the diploma, Victoria found herself in the field of social pedagogue and worked for 4 years at the Vinnitsa University "Ukraine" with students who have different nosologies. She conducted the lessons on the study of sign language, helped students with special needs to adapt to society. Together with colleagues, she created a book "Terminology Dictionary" to improve the learning of the learned material for students with hearing impairment.

Victoria married and is now on maternity leave for child care. She talks to her husband in verbal language, loud and using sign letters. Unfortunately, her one-year-old son also has hereditary hearing problems, but not so difficult. The development of language with a child is engaged in father, and mother teaches sign language. The father is against the son to use the hearing aids. In his opinion, it is better for the child to try to develop reading skills from the lips and listen to the sounds. The family has an enhanced headphone and they listen to the music and the voices of animals together.

While in a decree, Victoria continues to pursue his profession – creates authored didactic games for preschoolers with hearing impairment. "Working among hearing people it is difficult for me to perceive the language addressed to me. Articulation and pronunciation are all different, it is not always possible to read on the lips. My only dream is to get hearing aids that will help me feel full. My destiny to be a teacher and to benefit others", Victoria concludes with his appeal. The hearing aid, necessary by Viktoriia Osiiska, costs 17 500 UAH. The family has no opportunity to buy it and they ask all caring people to provide support in its acquisition.
