Medics said he could have died if he hadn’t got there when he did.<br /><br /><br /><br />Chris, 43, said: “My wife had this feeling and she turned round and James was going blue.<br /><br /><br /><br />“They rushed him into the hospital and he had gone.

It was the most worrying thing that has ever happened.<br /><br /><br /><br />“Had we lived any further away we might not have got there in time. Another minute and he might not have been here. We were told that.”<br /><br /><br /><br />Doctors said James was suffering from RSV – a common virus with cold-like symptoms.<br /><br /><br /><br />Healthy children tend to shrug it off, but it can be life-threatening for premature babies.<br /><br /><br /><br />The star was in Spain at the time preparing for a crucial UEFA Cup tie with Valencia when Samantha called to say James was fighting for his life.<br /><br /><br /><br />He immediately tried to get a flight home, but couldn’t.<br /><br /><br /><br />In the end he chose not to go to the match but instead stayed at the hotel where Samantha could call to give him updates.<br /><br /><br /><br />He flew home early next day and went to the intensive care ward where he and Samantha kept a bedside vigil.<br /><br /><br /><br />The footballer said it was the most worrying time of his life.<br /><br /><br /><br />“James was on life support.

Someone observing a student with hearing loss may believe that he or she has an attention problem or a learning <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disability" target="_blank">disability</a> as hearing loss can also impact perceiving, language processing, processing speed, memory and attention. Unlike <a href="http://www.additudemag.com/adhd/article/3270.html" target="_blank">ADHD or LD</a>, learning issues caused by hearing loss are not due to a disorder (an issue with brain processes). Instead the learning issues are secondary to delays because the child has incomplete access to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech" target="_blank">speech</a> occurring around him or her, especially soft speech or completely understanding someone talking from a distance further than 3-6 feet.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Fragmented Hearing</b> - Our educational system is based on the assumption that students in the classroom will perceive, and therefore understand, all of what the teacher is saying. When much information received in school is fragmented because of hearing loss, learning consequences are likely. Even with the latest hearing technology, normal hearing ability is not restored by hearing devices. Even aided thresholds of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audiogram" target="_blank">20 dB HL</a> will cause soft speech, high pitch speech sounds and unemphasized brief words to be undetected or too quiet to process.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/03/mainstream-school-lacks-communication.html" title="The Cascading Impact of Hearing Loss on Access to School Communication"><img height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgU4NDxh9Pu02AV6cg3rS6cNLTLo0dtfAx0yQYB60aE_5u0E7EWMCXjpkOwUgmpM93H-ahVaVXkYlLD4Xvl0IMLBeOAUv9BKEMJ7GYHBRUQmF76eejgSP2nItT56Nu0yUqppvdg_S3MYim/s400/cascading-impact-of-hearing-loss-facts.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><br />It is not unusual for children with hearing loss to have a 20% ‘listening gap’ as compared to class peers who may miss only 5% of information 1. The image shows a story about Fran the frog who has a sore throat. As you can see, comprehending the meaning of the story is impacted when 20% of the information missing. Even if a child is able to perform well in a quiet setting using hearing devices, a classroom setting is typically noisy, with fast-paced peer-to-peer conversations and teachers that move about the classroom, causing significant listening challenges. These conditions typically result in barriers to access.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Increased Effort</b> - Effort refers to the exertion of physical or mental power. Listening effort refers to the attention necessary to understand speech. Ease of listening is the perceive difficulty of the listening situation by the listener. Even low noise in the environment will interact with the fragmented hearing to interfere with their speech understanding. Children with hearing loss work harder than their peers to listen leaving fewer cognitive resources to understand speech in the classroom as compared to class peers.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RImphoFjIUs" width="500"></iframe></div><i>CSS Movies presents "</i><i><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RImphoFjIUs" target="_blank">Alone In A Hearing World</a>" shows true to life scenarios of a young Deaf boy growing up in a hearing world.

In 2002, even the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Congress" target="_blank">US Congress</a> succumbed to the nagging truth and “changed its mind” on the issue, according credit to the real <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invention" target="_blank">inventor</a> and declaring that the original telephone was in fact invented by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Meucci" target="_blank">Antonio Meucci</a>, a penniless Italian who did not speak a word of English and could not afford to patent his discovery.<br /><br /><br /><br />Alexander Graham Bell? He was just a successful patent applicant and some would say, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theft" target="_blank">THIEF</a>.<br /><br /><br /><br />According to the US Congress, Bell was a cunning opportunist who took all the credit for a more brilliant scientist’s work. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives" target="_blank">The House of Representatives</a> voted to recognise mechanical genius Antonio Meucci as the father of modern communications, following a protracted battle by historians and Italian Americans.<br /><br /><br /><br /><i>From Monopoly to the lightbulb, AllTime10s brings you 10 famous inventions stolen from other people.</i><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TURsZ4m7L3o" width="500"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.</span></div><br /><br />The real <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invention_of_the_telephone#Electro-magnetic_transmitters_and_receivers" target="_blank">invented of the telephone</a>, Meucci, born April 13, 1808, had been working in Cuba in the 1830s, developing methods for treating illnesses using electric shocks, when he discovered the ability of sound to travel through electrical impulses. He later moved to Staten Island to follow up on his discovery. In 1860 which was 16 years before Bell claimed to have invented the telephone Meucci demonstrated his teletrofono in New York, but could not afford the $250 required to register a patent.<br /><br /><br /><br />Bell, who took an interest in Meucci’s invention, convinced him to share his research material. They shared a lab together and Bell had full access to Meucci’s materials. Bell made good and clever use of Meucci before coming up with his own “invention” and applying for a patent in his own name. Meucci duly protested, but lacking connections, was unable to convince anyone that Alexander Graham Bell had stolen his ideas. Under general patent laws, then and today, Bell should have credited Meucci and agreed to share royalties with him.<br /><br /><br /><br />Beset with debt, Meucci could not afford the $10 fee for maintaining the patent caveat and temporarily gave up pursuit of Bell in 1874. Two years later, Bell, uncontested by Meucci, was granted ownership of the patent. Interestingly, another contender, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisha_Gray" target="_blank">Elisha Gray</a>, had also submitted a patent for the telephone some hours before Bell, but due to a technicality, Bell was the registrant whose application won.<br /><br /><br /><br />Meucci finally decided to sue Bell, charging him with fraud in the Supreme Court. The case looked rather promising for Meucci, but unfortunately, before any proceedings could begin, Meucci died on October 18, 1889.<br /><br /><br /><br />In 2001, the United States Congress took the extraordinary decision of doing justice to Meucci, passing a resolution officially according recognition to Meucci as the real inventor of the telephone, stating that “if Meucci had been able to pay the caveat after 1874, no patent could have been issued to Bell.” The US Congress further stated that given all the facts of the patent disputes between Gray and Bell, under no terms should Alexander Graham Bell have been awarded the patent for the telephone by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Patent_and_Trademark_Office" target="_blank">United States Patent and Trademark Office</a> in 1876. Alexander Graham Bell was posthumously stripped of his dubious honor as the inventor of the telephone.<br /><br /><br /><br />“Justice” was finally served - well, sort of.<br /><br /><br /><br />In effect, the Congressional resolution served only as a declaration and did not technically annul or modify the patent which Bell received in 1876. The resolution was also subsequently followed by another legislative declaration upholding Bell’s priority and his status as the inventor (patent holder) of the telephone.<br /><br /><br /><br />Credit where credit is due:<br /><br /><br /><br />Both Antonio Meucci and Elisha Gray should be credited with successfully inventing telephones in the United States before Alexander Graham Bell did so in 1876. Others who performed pioneering experimental work with electrical voice transmissions over wires included <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Edison" target="_blank">Thomas Edison</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innocenzo_Manzetti" target="_blank">Innocenzo Manzetti</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Bourseul" target="_blank">Charles Bourseul</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Philipp_Reis" target="_blank">Johann Philipp Reis</a>. The telephone as we know it today, is largely based on improvements made by Thomas Edison on the original design which was not Bell’s but Meucci’s. <a href="http://www.zakkeith.com/articles,blogs,forums/who-invented-the-telephone.htm" target="_blank">SOURCE</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Related:</b> <a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/search/label/AG%20Bell">#AG Bell</a><br /><br /><a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2012/03/deaf-student-bullied-at-ag-bell-school.html">Deaf Student Bullied at the AG Bell School</a><br /><br /><a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/04/deaf-people-bullied-by-ag-bell.html">Deaf People Bullied By The AG Bell Association</a><br /><br /><a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/04/ag-bells-letter-about-nyle-dimarco.html">AG Bell's Letter About Nyle DiMarco Controversy</a><br /><br /><a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/04/audism-free-america-video-letter-to-ag.html">Audism Free America Video Letter To AG Bell</a><br /><br /><a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/04/ntidrit-facutlty-staff-open-letter-to.html">NTID/RIT Facutlty & Staff Open Letter To AG Bell</a><br /><br /><a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2011/08/deaf-progressivism-open-letter-to-ag.html">Deaf Teachers: Open Letter To AG Bell Association</a><br /><br /><a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2011/07/cochlear-implant-failures-lawsuits-ag.html">Cochlear Implant Failures Lawsuits & AG Bell</a><br /><br /><a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2011/11/ag-bell-ci-companies-careful-of-company.html">AG Bell & CI Companies</a><br /><br /><a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2013/06/how-ag-bell-association-destroy-deaf.html">How AG Bell Association Destroy Deaf Culture</a><br /><br /><a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2016/03/alexander-graham-bell-theft-of-century.html">Alexander Graham Bell - Theft Of The Century</a><br /><br /><a href="http://deafyouvideo.blogspot.com/2012/02/liesagbelltoldmyparents-indiana-hb-1367.html">#LiesAGBellToldMyParents - Indiana HB 1367</a>
