The son is going blind, and was born deaf. You may have noticed the things he was wearing on his ears that looked like hearing aids...they are Cochlear Implants. Cochlear Implants are surgically implanted, with the external processor that you can see. They restore hearing to the deaf. I know this because I have two of them. It is truly a miracle technology, and I would encourage people that face deafness, or with loved ones that may face deafness, to be aware of the technology. Here is a website for the implants I have (and that Desourmeaux's son has) www.bionicear.com
- this company is called Advanced Bionics. If this technology is applicable to you or loved ones, shoot me a PM and I will happily explain it to you. I am a volunteer for them to help spread the word.

Sorry for my Soapbox, PSA announcement.
