"I am just as deaf as I am blind. The problems of deafness are deeper and more complex, if not more important, than those of blindness. Deafness is a worse misfortune. For it means the loss of the most vital stimulus---the sound of the voice that brings language, sets thoughts astir, and keeps us in the intellectual company of man."

---HELEN KELLER

*This music was composed by Beethoven who was deaf.
