DeafDigest - 07 December 2020

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - December 7, 2020 -- part of hearing being returned There was a story of Leland Melvin, an astronaut with a hearing loss. It said that he could not qualify as an astronaut because of his hearing loss - yet the story said his hearing returned, but not all of it! Real story or fishy story?   -- Oral training classes explained differently Many deaf people attended oral school classes, including this DeafDigest editor. A story said a deaf person attended "special pronunciation classes." What is that supposed to mean?   -- light switch deafness A light switch means room is bright or a room is dark depending on the switch on the wall. Deafness as an electrical switch? Well, there was a story of a comic book character, over many years being deaf or being hearing depending on the cartoon artist. Does it mean deafness up and off as in an electrical switch?   Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 11/29/20 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
