In the service I worked with guys who spoke Morse code. When they did not want others hearing they'd start off "dit dit dot...ditty ditty..." So annoying.
Some deafblind people carry a "communication book" which has words/phrases in both print and Braille, so that the person can point out phrases to others, and vice versa.
Somehow I don't think that is what was meant here.
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

I speak Braille, too.
We are a small, but gifted group.
Is that like reading lips? But with your hands?

I was once told "Now honey you know you have to speak up for the hard of hearing. They only speak braille."
Maybe she hears aromas - I'm just saying
I found a tip on internet once (for patients who don't have hearing aids): plug a stethoscope into the patient's ears and speak into the diaphragm.
It works!
