Lee Levin has recently asked "...at what point are you deaf?"
Audiologists would have one definition of "deafness," but I think
that a definition which is commonly used among hearing-impaired
people is that you are functionally "deaf" if you can no longer
understand conversations over the telephone (without using a TDD).

                       Virtually,
