I listen to OPB at least 20 hours each week.  On the 20th anniversary of the ADA, I can't help but think of all my deaf and hard of hearing friends who don't share in my love of OPB and NPR because they can't hear the radio.  I hope today's show touches on the world of people with hearing loss.  People with hearing loss constitute the largest group of people with disabilities.  And yet they're not at the table today for this show, much less any other day of the week.
