DeafDigest - 31 August 2021

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - August 31, 2021 -- deaf of hearing When we hear this phrase - deaf of hearing, it means deaf born to hearing parents. But there is a twist - a deaf person, implanted with a CI now call himself deaf of hearing! Bottom line - can he pick up voice calls on his iPhone? If not, then he is deaf despite his CI!   -- cannot add deafness to a discrimination lawsuit A deaf person, deaf all his life, filed a job discrimination lawsuit (about something on the job). He tried to amend his lawsuit to include his lifelong deafness. The Iowa  Supreme Court said no, but admitted the law itself is vague, murky and confusing.   -- funny or not funny There is a mysterious siren that is coming out from somewhere, but no one could locate it (to turn it off). Some have suspected it is coming from a school for the deaf! No, the deaf school did not send out that siren, by the way. It is happening in Great Britain.   Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 08/29/21 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
