<div>I have often heard (although from whom/where, I don't remember)
that deaf people have better, improved vision or are more attentive
to detail in the visual world compared to hearing people. </div>
<div><br>
I would appreciate published statements referring to this claim based
on personal belief or on anecdotal evidence. Anyone have
references to newspapers, articles, movies, websites, etc. that say
this, I'd appreciate them.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks.</div>
