Episode description
The Deaf and hard of hearing community is diverse. There are variations such as how a person becomes Deaf and their level of hearing, but also conditions that combine sight and hearing loss such as Usher syndrome, which is under the Deafblind umbrella. Steve Ripley and Edan Chapman share their personal experiences of being DeafBlind and Ushers, and discuss the need for greater acceptance and understanding in the Deaf community and wider society.
