DeafDigest Mid-Week edition – June 25, 2021
— the CDI and the hearing confusion
A CDI (Certified Deaf Interpreter) interpreted
at a public event. Hearing people in the audience,
having no idea, what is a CDI, was confused on
why would there be a hearing and a deaf interpreter
working together at the same time!
Said a CDI:
I get strange expressions and questions, wondering
how could I interpret if I am deaf.
Comes with the territory, says DeafDigest.

— not a joke; a Deaf Fear of barbers
You are deaf and you go to a barber, asking for a
special haircut. The barber, completely misunderstoods
you and gives you a very bad, and a very wrong haircut!
This scene was part of a short film “Waves” as played by
actor Omete Anassi. Is he deaf actor or a fake-deaf
actor? Do not know.
