| Static poses risk to deaf children
Boston Globe, Fort Wayne News Sentinel (IN) and 5 others Dec. 13, 2005 -- Static electric shock won't ruin a cochlear implant, but it will require an inconvenient trip to an audiologist. Static electricity is so much of a worry and hassle for the deaf that WUSTL electrical engineer Robert Morley has a grant to study one of its main sources: plastic playground slides. Some new "all inclusive" playgrounds, have deliberately included metal slides, which don't produce static electricity. But many others don't -- including some that are supposed to be accessible to disabled children. Morley, who helped pioneer digital hearing aids, got a small federal grant to study the issue. |
