    Deaf nurses?

    COMPASSION is of the heart, and the heart communicates more clearly than any other form of language - whether oral or gestural. Go into your life led by your compassion and it will take you wherever you want to (or are meant to) go! MUCH SUCCESS to you! (Blessings!)

    Yes, they are hearing, but they do get very hoh when their ears are full of fluids. We seem to have a gene in the family for bad sinus/palate/nasal/ear structures. Various members wind up having some sort of reconstructive surgery for any or all of the above. I don't think he knows anything...

    my son's children have had various surgeries to improve their hearing - tubes to drain fluids, etc. At this time, none of them is considered to need any special accommodations. They will be monitored for future hearing loss, due to my daughter's gradually increasing deafness.
