Deaf population to benefit from new technology

Tue, 28 Apr 2015


The Island's deaf community will benefit from a new sign-language interpretation service.

The online service will operate by video link - connecting to a live language interpreter over a computer webcam or on a tablet device.

Head of audiology Stephen Griffiths says it'll make life much easier for patients:
