recently a friend of mine, close to me in age, and who has been progressively losing his hearing till almost tone deaf, to quit working, has by miracle of modern electro micro surgery and implants, has been able to get his hearing back, to lead a normal enough life, including going to work.
not having anyone hard of hearing in my family or circle of friends, it was not till i saw the film மொழி that i came to appreciate the handicap and the world of those who do not hear or speak, ie two senses that we take for granted, and abuse so much.
maybe in future, the concept of a 'deaf' person may not exist, thanks to medicine. here is an heartwarming example.

God Bless.
i think, when we speak of the lack of applied or original thinking, even to help someone on a small or large scale, we feel that our institutions like iit or iisc has failed. iit is supposed to be an institute of applied technology, and has had enough exposures to medical technology over the past years. i think these are all areas, where we can put our mind and brains, to bringing out innovative tools to lessen the pain of born handicaps.
btw i am impressed by the new tablet inspired by kapil sibal and which is now in the market. it is NEWS world over
