-- future device better than CI
Many people say that CI is getting too expensive.
Scientists at Colorado State University are
working on something they think is better than CI.
It is a special device that works with a tongue.
It will feel teeth vibrations and then be able to
hear these sounds. Impossible? Crazy? Unbelievable?
Yes, all of these!
-- more about Kate Gosselin's boyfriend
DeafDigest mentioned that Jeff Prescott,
the new millionaire boyfriend of Kate Gosselin
(Kate Plus 8), established Deaf Children's
Foundation. But why? It was learned that his oldest
daughter, age 26, is deaf and has Usher's syndrome.
Still, no information about that foundation could
be found while googling! Secret foundation?
-- a surprise new restaurant in Washington, DC
A new restaurant just opened up in Washington, DC.
The name is - The Alex, honoring Alexander Graham
Bell's telephone contribution to the society. This
restaurant is not too far from the headquarters of the
Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and
Hard of Hearing. Some ASL people are not too happy
about it.
