Deaf EMT Better Than Some Hearing Staff

Deaf News: Deaf EMT 'better than some hearing staff' with Bethlehem ambulance company.



Lehighvalley Live - Chad Grabousky, Global Medical Transportation Services' first ever Deaf EMT, sits in the back of an ambulance last week at the company's Bethlehem headquarters.



Global Medical Transportation Services Ambulance Capt. Don Burslem didn’t know what to think when the person on the other line told him he was on the phone with a Deaf person.



How could he hire a Deaf emergency medical technician for the Bethlehem-based ambulance company? EMTs need to communicate with their patients, with their partners, with hospital officials over the radio.



But Burslem decided to take a chance on hiring Chad Grabousky, and more than two months later, he’s very glad he did.



“His patients love him, our staff loves him, and he actually does a wonderful job in back of the ambulance, better than some of my hearing staff,” Burslem said.



Grabousky, 22, is glad Burslem took a chance with him. He became a state-certified EMT almost four years ago but has struggled to find paid work. He lives more than an hour north of Bethlehem in Lackawanna County but had little luck finding work up there...

JACKSONVILLE, IL - Change.org: A letter was sent to Illinois Secretary of Education Beth Purvis, with copies to Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner, Department of Human Services Director Kris Smith, Illinois School for the Deaf Advisory Council (ISDAC), Illinois School for the Deaf Alumni Association (ISDAA), Illinois Association of the Deaf (IADD), and several legislators about Illinois School for the Deaf (ISD) issues.

Alumni of Illinois School for the Deaf, along with the Deaf community in the State of Illinois, would like to express our concerns with Illinois School for the Deaf (ISD) administrators and hearing faculties’ oppression towards Deaf Educators and other employees at ISD. Deaf employees of ISD experienced tremendous Discrimination and Oppression by hearing administrators and faculty over the years.



More than five families with multiple Deaf children left ISD because their parents were concerned about the well-being of their children and their success in education. The environment on ISD campus is not healthy nor is it a positive experience for Deaf students due to obvious discrimination and oppression of Deaf employees.

Deaf Mice Cured With Gene Therapy

VIDEO: The end of cochlear implants? New gene therapy restores hearing in mice in the United States.





BOSTON - In a laboratory at Boston Children's Hospital a cure for genetic deafness is taking shape. Lead researcher Jeff Holt says that if all goes as planned, children of the future who lose their ability to hear due to genetic mutation will never go Deaf.



Holt and his fellow researchers are attacking the problem at its source. They are using engineered viruses to repair damaged genes that make up parts of the inner ear.



"Our strategy was to take a viral vector, remove the viral genes so that it doesn't make anyone sick and to replace those with the correct DNA sequence for TMC1," said Holt, an associate professor of Otolaryngology.





TMC1 is a gene critical to hearing. It is responsible for encoding proteins that convert sound into electrical signals the brain can process.



To test their treatment protocol, Holt and his team used two types of Deaf mice that model the dominant and recessive genetic mutations of TMC1 in humans. The team used an engineered virus called adeno-associated virus, or AAV1, to deliver the functioning TMC1 gene to the inner ears of the Deaf mice models...
