Breaking Down Communication Barriers | Angela Graves | TEDxEvansville

The basic building blocks of any society are those of clear communication; that is the sharing of ideas between individuals. Strong communication builds strong relationships. Strong relationships build strong community. And, strong communities build a strong society. At the core of our spoken language is the need to hear. It is my hope this talk takes away the power hearing loss has been granted in destroying relationships. Dr. Graves grew up on a small farm 25 miles north of Fr. Wayne. As a 10 year 4-H’er, Purdue University was the only logical choice for her to pursue a Bachelor and a Master of Science in Audiology and Hearing Sciences. When her three beautiful daughters were in their teens, she went to school on-line for her doctorate degree. She opened Hearing Healthcare Center as the only independent doctor of audiology in Evansville on January 2, 2013. She loves what she does or she wouldn’t still be at it after 30 years. She and her dog Levi spend their free time outside chasing sticks and listening to frogs. But, maybe not in that order. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Beautiful speech ma'am. I cannot forget how you ended 😊

[@anubhavparasar1816]

Yes Angela, your talk on the barriers to communication is valuable for understanding the rising inefficiency in and the unempathetic nature of human interactions; it is a perfect example itself, for how a clear communication sounds and is like.

And [recall] when We took the covenant from the Children of Israel, [enjoining upon them], "Do not worship except God; and to parents do good and to relatives, orphans, and the needy. And speak to people good [words] and establish prayer and give charity. Then you turned away, except a few of you, and you were refusing.
- Saheeh International Quran
