Hi Dennis,
I would think that Deaf folks could use some of the iPhone apps that convert speech to text, for listening to a HAM radio.  I put one on my phone for a Deaf client with low vision so we could communicate.
But being adapted to Blindness, I would say it would be worse to lose your hearing.
This list has seen one of a few of my frustrations, that being when companies ignore the needs of a portion of its customers.
Honestly, it would add very little to products to put speech output on them, and Braille too.
But I do build computers, and walk and run independently, and have a full-time job, and do my own home maintenance.  Sometimes I might have to ask someone the color of a wire for example, but for the most part, it is not a big deal.
I think that I'm in better shape than most people my age because I walk a lot.

Thanks.

Glenn

Hi Glenn, this is totally off topic but I have thought about this for years.

I am a professional musician. And I often wondered if I was going to lose hearing or sight and could choose, which would I prefer. And even though I love music, I think I'd rather lose my hearing. You can do 90% of the things you did before you lost your ears.

To say the least you have many hurdles to jump as a ham, but at least you can hear the radio and communicate.

Are there any completely deaf Hams? Is there technology for this?

  I threw only a few minutes at this.  I hope this is helpful.

  I am hopeful that you have the text of the manual and can read the descriptions (1 through 8) keyed to the diagram.  But it's in a table layout so the formatting may be too awkward.

  upper left knob is identified as [photo key 1] left dial tuning dial for the left band. 
  the entire radio appears to be bilaterally symmetrical, with a left dial, left volume / squelch, and right dial at the top and right volume / squelch at the bottom. [photo keys 1, 2, 7, 6] The display is also split into left and right sections with comparable stuff displayed.

  Three vertical buttons on the left are labeled downward a b and c, with d e and f labeled downward on the similar three buttons to the right. All six refer to [photo key 8]

  [Photo key 8] calls these hyper memory Keys a through f

  Of the nine buttons across the bottom, the center is labeled with a dot [photo key 4]. And is named "set" on the page. it says this enters the menu mode or if you hold for half a second to transfer the contents of the Main band VFO into a memory. 

  Buttons on each side of the set button are in two groups [photo key 3 on the left and 5 on the right] with Legends LOW, V/M, HM, SCN.
  [LOW] [V/M] [HM] [SCN] [.] [LOW] [V/M] [HM] [SCN]

  "LOW" changes power modes, cycling low, mid2, mid1, high. Long press on it changes display modes (you probably won't care)
  "V/M" short press to switch freq control between VFO & memory mode. Long press to shift into "memory tuning" feature
  "HM" recall a "home" freq. Long press to activate priority channel scanning
  "SCN" activate scanner. Long press to set up the "scan skip list or preferential scan list under MR mode"

  I'll try to reply if this just creates more questions

      Bob
