-- important to look good in front of video
do deaf people look good in front of video during relay calls
or for chatting with friends? There have been deaf people that
do not smile or look angry or show sad faces, etc, etc. Michelle
Phan, not deaf and a consultant with Yahoo Video, says that many
hearing people have this same problem. She suggests good
lightning, right video angle, right distance with the video
camera, dress well, etc. And most important of all, no profanity!
-- another deaf prison officer
DeafDigest mentioned a deaf prison officer in Arizona. There
is another one! He works in a warm-weather state, as he wanted
his identity to be kept a secret. What does he really do? He
is a tri-lingual interpreter (ASL, Spanish and English). When
a deaf person enters the prison, this officer explains the
rules and procedures, at the same time filling out the prison
paperwork.
-- hearing aids in dangerous sports
Deaf athletes in dangerous sports - football, rugby,
hockey, soccer, wrestling, etc, often take off their
hearing aids (and CI's). Scientists in New Zealand
are working on a new hearing aid experiment They
believe deaf athletes can play dangerous sports and
wear hearing aids at the same time! How? Making
hearing aids smaller and more invisible - that blows
to the ear would not harm the player or wreck the
hearing aids! Is it possible? We will see.
