I notice that, in this article, you "define" Helen Keller many times in terms of blindness. But she herself said that she mourned the loss of her hearing more than the loss of her sight. I point this out because you have, unfortunately, repeated a common error of modern society, which is to sideline deafness and what deafness does to people .
