I wonder how it works for blind people who are deaf? And how do blind people know it’s available and where to push the button for signal?

🎓 It’s been 25 years since I graduated from RIT and gave my #graduation award speech as a deaf student.

Since then, I’ve spoken across the U.S. & abroad - including a TEDx talk.

26.5 years with a cochlear implant — celebrating my journey on #InternationalCochlearImplantDay!

CI isn’t a cure but a tool with varied benefits. For me, it’s been life-changing for sound awareness. Everyone’s deaf experience is unique.

Captions =/= Subtitles
Captions = access for deaf people.
Subtitles = translation for hearing people.

Was watching “Fly Me to the Moon” set in 1969 … and noticed something off in one scene.

As a deaf person, I spotted a detail most people wouldn’t catch.

Curious what it is?

A scene from the movie. In the foreground, a blonde woman in a pink suit sits on a green couch, opening a gift wrapped in paper. Behind her, a gray haired gentleman sits with his back to the camera. He is reading a newspaper, wearing black glasses, and a modern BTE hearing aid.
