Nehama points out that she is deaf but not Deaf with a capital D and she explains the difference between those terms during our interview.
Nehama is a former Peace Corp volunteer who has traveled to far corners of the world. The cochlear implant and her ability to read lips has given her a slight advantage but there are other challenges she’s faced as a deaf traveler and some of those have involved things we often take for granted.
There are other concerns like safety, accommodations, the unfamiliarity with cochlear technology and communications in non-English speaking countries that Nehama has had to navigate.
Join us as we learn what it is like to travel the world as a deaf person.
