-- a tale of revenge deafness
Is there such a thing as "revenge" deafness?
People in India love to watch strange plots
on TV and movies. And in the TV program
"Thapki Pyaar Ki" the plot involved Revenge
Deafness! A rival, wearing a hearing aid
suddenly could not hear anything at all.
Shraddha was angry at her rival, getting
her revenge by throwing out his good
batteries and inserting dead batteries!
A picture of very angry Shraddha is at:

-- a shocking arrest in Jordan
Jordan is not heavily involved with the turmoil with the
Arabian nations. But the Jordanian police arrested
20-year old Rami Al-Sayed for terrorism; he tried to
join a terror group in Syria. Why is it shocking?
Not only because he is deaf, but also deaf-blind!
The Syrian terror group welcomed him, not realizing
his double-disability. They quickly returned him
to Jordan after realizing he was useless to them!
-- an important rule for deaf during job interviews
A true story took place during the 1970's. The NAD
was interviewing applicants for a high level job.
One deaf woman brought her mother to the interview.
Not surprisingly, she did not get the job despite
her qualifications. DeafDigest is mentioning this
because there was a job fair interview in
Washington (state). A deaf person showed up at
the job fair interview - with his interpreter
(that is ok) and with his parent (definitely
not ok). DeafDigest hopes this deaf person got
the job despite bringing his parent to the
interview!
