DeafDigest - 08 September 2021

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - September 8, 2021 -- plastic shields not easy for the deaf It was assumed plastic shields make life easier for the deaf that struggle with hearing masks. Not always that so, according to a hearing aid consultant. Plus it does not help if these shields are foggy, due to breathing by hearing people!   -- first wake-up device for the deaf Who invented the first wake-up device for the deaf? A newspaper story said that a deaf man from Ohio came up with that device in 1948. True? DeafDigest editor is not so sure; there were many old fashioned devices being used to wake up the deaf years way before 1948.   -- deaf cannot "guard" the door Some secret societies allow the deaf to become members, but they are not assigned, for obvious reasons, to guard the entrance door to the society headquarters. Reason for guarding is to prevent nosey non-members from listening to what is being said through the walls.   Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 09/05/21 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
