How well do we listen, how clear do we speak? Growing up with impaired senses essential for communication may not be seen only as a handicap, but rather as living in a world of a different language. Social integration into a productivity oriented society with well established and structured systems is based upon communication and successful adaptation. People with impaired senses are objectively hindered to do so without major life-altering efforts that leave them deprived of time to focus on productive activities, necessary for gaining a social value.

Contemporary, virtually android medicine, can successfully provide a handful of helping devices and methods. Nevertheless, maybe it is not only them who should struggle to master communication we exercise. Perhaps it’s us, who should pick up a new language or two as well. If nothing else, the language of attention and patience.
