Apple TV+ premieres new animated original series “El Deafo”

New series for kids and families based on The New York Times best-seller and Newbery Honor-winning graphic novel memoir from Cece Bell.

Apple TV+ announced “El Deafo,” a charming and poignant three-part animated series for kids and families. Based on the No. 1 New York Times best-seller and Newbery Honor-winning graphic memoir, all episodes of “El Deafo” will premiere Friday, January 7, 2022 on Apple TV+.

The first trailer for the series, starring the voice talents of newcomer Lexi Finigan, Pamela Adlon (“Better Things,” “Bob's Burgers”), Jane Lynch (“Glee,” “Harriet the Spy”) and Chuck Nice (“Star Talk”), is available now, and features an original song by indie artist Waxahatchee, entitled “Tomorrow.”

“El Deafo” follows perceptive young Cece (voiced by Finigan) as she loses her hearing and finds her inner superhero. Going to school and making new friends can be tough. “Having to do both while wearing a bulky hearing aid on your chest takes superpowers!” With a little help from her superhero alter ego El Deafo, Cece learns to embrace what makes her extraordinary.

The Benefits of Lipreading

Communicate effectively

Lipreading may be a skill that is useful for those who have hearing loss, but anyone can benefit from lipreading. Especially during a time when we are asked to safely distance.

It allows individuals to communicate effectively with their friends, family and colleagues.
It also makes individuals become more aware of their expressions and lipreading and speak clearly.
Lipreading helps with including everyone in the conversation and avoiding those with hearing loss to feel isolated on the sidelines.

If you would like to improve your lipreading skills, check out Read Our Lips. It is an online course so you can learn how to lipread from home.

Partnering for Great Hearing Care: A Guide for people with hearing loss and hearing care professionals.

The purpose of the resource is to guide and support people with hearing loss and clinicians to build a trustful partnership. It is a digital guide with practical advice on how to do this. The guide is based on four building blocks. These building blocks were identified through a thorough explorative insights process with interviews and focus groups with people with hearing loss and professionals on how to build a partnership.

The guide addresses both the person with hearing loss and the hearing care professional to make it clear that it takes two to tango when it comes to getting most out of the partnership.

We imagine that the guide will be used as a tool for people with hearing loss and professionals to get the most out of hearing care appointments and get the best possible collaboration.

Please remember that this is only a first prototype, so it is still a little rough around the edges. We will be doing further work to refine and finalize the guide, when we have achieved feedback on the guide.
