How we helped a deafblind client the other day.
We were delighted to make such a significant difference to the life of one of our clients last week, who has a severe hearing loss and is also blind. We facilitated his acquisition of an Orcam My Eye.
It allows access to written text via a tiny camera, attached to any pair of glasses, which takes a photo of the text and reads it out loud. It can also recognise faces and identify products.
He used it with a neckloop, with his hearing aids on the loop setting, and later emailed us to say he'd read the newspaper on the way home!!!
