The problems of deafness are deeper and more complex, if not more important, than those of blindness.Deafness is a much worse misfortune. For it means the loss of the most vital stimulus--the sound of the voice that brings language, sets thoughts astir and keeps us in the intellectual company of man. Helen Keller
