Tanulmányunk célja, hogy bemutassuk a Szerencsejáték Zrt. és a SINOSZ eredményeit a siket és nagyothalló személyek foglalkoztatása területén. Tesszük ezt azzal a céllal, hogy iránytűt adjunk azon munkáltatók és szakemberek kezébe, akik szeretnének siket és nagyothalló embereket foglalkoztatni. Emellett egy jó gyakorlat ismerhető meg a nonprofit – forprofit szféra együttműködéséről, és a sokszínűséget és befogadó szemléletet értéknek tartó munkaadói hozzáállásról, valamint egy érdekképviseleti szervezet úttörő szerepvállalásáról.***Our study aims to present the results achieved by Szerencsejáték Zrt. (National Lottery Company) and SINOSZ (Hungarian Association of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing) in the field of employing deaf and hearing impaired persons. We strive to offer directions for the employers and professionals who wish to hire deaf and hearing impaired people. Besides, we also introduce a good practice of the cooperation of the non-profit and for-profit sectors, the employer attitude taking multi-colourness and inclusive position as a value and the pioneer activity of an advocacy organization.

The Impact

Hearing loss represents a frequently met sensorial handicap, which has a major and complex impact not only on the hearing-impaired person, but also on his family and society. The large number of hard-of-hearing persons justifies the acknowledgement of hearing loss as a public health issue, which oblige to appropriate health politics, to offer each hearing-impaired person health services like those in Europe. These can be obtained through: appropriate legislation for mandatory universal newborn hearing screening; national program for follow-up of hearing-impaired children up to school age; national register of hard-of-hearing persons; smooth access to rehabilitation methods; appropriate number of audiologists, trained for health services at European standards, trained through public programs of education in the field of audiology.

3D Avatar

Sign language is a visual language for communication used by hearing-impaired people with the help of hand and finger movements. Indian Sign Language (ISL) is a well-developed and standard way of communication for hearing-impaired people living in India. However, other people who use spoken language always face difficulty while communicating with a hearing-impaired person due to lack of sign language knowledge. In this study, we have developed a 3D avatar-based sign language learning system that converts the input speech/text into corresponding sign movements for ISL. The system consists of three modules. Initially, the input speech is converted into an English sentence. Then, that English sentence is converted into the corresponding ISL sentence using the Natural Language Processing (NLP) technique. Finally, the motion of the 3D avatar is defined based on the ISL sentence. The translation module achieves a 10.50 SER (Sign Error Rate) score.

Abstract This article presents results of investigations of the angle of directional hearing acuity (ADHA) as a measure of the spatial hearing ability with a special emphasis on people with hearing impairments. A modified method proposed by Zakrzewski has been used - ADHA values have been determined for 8 azimuths in the horizontal plane at the height of the listeners' head. The two-alternative-forced-choice method (2AFC), based on a new system of listeners' responses (left - right instead of no difference - difference in location of sound sources) was the procedure used in the experiment. Investigations were carried out for two groups of subjects: normal hearing people (9 persons) and hearing impaired people (sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus - 9 persons). In the experiment different acoustic signals were used: sinusoidal signals (pure tones), 1/3 octave noise, amplitude modulated 1/3 octave noise, CCITT speech and traffic noises and signals corresponding to personal character of tinnitus for individual subjects. The results obtained in the investigations showed, in general, a better localization of the sound source for noise type signals than those for tonal signals. Inessential differences exist in ADHA values for particular signals between the two groups of subjects. On the other hand, significant differences for tinnitus signals and traffic noise signals were stated. A new system of listeners' responses was used and appeared efficient (less dispersion of results compared to the standard system).
