[QUOTE="Jdvn1, post: 5174622, member: 26424"] I just wanted to point out that this might be a cultural difference. In the United States, hearing-impaired people are very likely to refer to themselves as deaf, and hearing-impaired people are often a part of "deaf culture" in the United States. It's often on a spectrum, anyways--my brother was "profoundly" deaf, which was a legal designation to describe the most severe level of deafness. Also, services and treatment of deaf/hearing-impaired/hard-of-hearing people nowadays is significantly different from back in the 60s. Nonetheless, I want to apologize for unintentional offense. That's it for the side topic for me, I think. I think using text is a good idea--instead of discs or bands to designate markers, you could have a little sign on the table that says "Immobilized" or something. At the very least, it'll likely be easier to see in the video. [/QUOTE]
