-- The "Deaf Disease" fear
Today, one of these blogs said that a high school
wrestler, entered into a state tournament last
year, did not want to face a deaf wrestler. He
would rather forfeit the match to avoid that
deaf wrestler. Is the hearing wrestler afraid
of catching the "Deaf Disease" and becoming deaf?
Don't know if he actually forfeited or had
to swallow his fears and to wrestle against
the deaf wrestler? See the picture at:

-- McDonald's Left and McDonald's Right
Few weeks ago DeafDigest mentioned that
a deaf man applied for a job at McDonald's
in Missouri but was refused an interview
because of his deafness. It was just
learned that this deaf applicant worked
at a different McDonald's before
applying for a job at another McDonald's.
Basically he was looking for a job transfer
but McDonald's did not know what their left
was from their right and immediately told
the deaf man - no interview, sorry!
-- Noise-meter App for the Deaf
Some noises are safe (music as an example). Some
noises are dangerous (explosions, sirens and
gun shots). A deaf Ukrainian engineer has come up
with a new app that warns the deaf if the noise
is safe or is dangerous. He is hoping this app
will be installed in all Deaf Devices.
