"The telephone, invented by Alexander Graham Bell, whose wife and mother were Deaf, and could not use the phone. It's Ironic!"

Chief Internet Evangelist for Google Vint Cerf is widely recognised and applauded for being a pioneer in the invention of the internet, redefining not only connecting software and people on incredible scale but also accessibility and access worldwide.

Vint, who is Hard of Hearing, speaks about how technology has transformed his and wife Sigrid's lives from communication to education and socialisation. The story of "listening" to E-Books as a person who is deaf is HILARIOUS!

If you've ever wondered how people who are part of the Deaf & Hard of Hearing community understand accents, listen to music or even learn other languages? All will be revealed in this episode of ListenABLE!
