For deaf, wireless offers a new portal to the world

Ouietly over the past decade, phones that make text messaging easy have changed life profoudly for millions of deaf people. Gone are the days of a deaf person driving to someone's house just to see if they're home. Wives text their deaf husbands in the basment, just as a hearing wife yelsl down to the basement. I think this is a great thing that cell phones have made an difference, cause i know it would probably be pretty bad to not to be able to hear, so it's great something like a cell phone has made a big diffrence for people who aren't able to hear.
