-- CI old technology, brainstem implant, new technology
Some doctors are saying CI is old technology and will not
always work for many patients. They are also saying that
brainstem implant is better. Do realize that today's
hot technology is tomorrow's old technology. So, is
brainstem implant the new hot thing in the Deaf Community?
-- best clown in USA is a deaf clown
The 2015 Clown of the Year Award by the Clowns of America
was awarded Sue Marranconi, Meadville, PA. She is deaf, and
has been in the clowning profession practically all her
life. She takes clowning seriously, always thinking of
new ways to make people laugh.
-- a very special military mission in Australia
Special Air Service of Australia (SAS) is a group of
elite military fighters, sent to special missions.
It is like our Green Berets (US Army Special Forces).
They recently trained in an isolated part of Australia,
getting ready for their mission in the Middle East.
The bus taking these SAS people was driven by a
deaf driver! He said that when he dropped off these
fighters, he drove the bus back home - empty seats!
