Re: Kindle Update
From one who has a severe hearing loss I can attest as to how important it is.
At a press conference Ozzie took questions and Stan the Fan asked about Kindle's hearing problem, if it was a problem. Ozzie said huh? Next question and everyone laughed at Stan.
Then the Sun ran an article how it was effecting him so Stan
asked a legit question and Ozzie clearly didn't want to answer it.
The guy who made my first hearing aid back in the 80s made one
for a Redskin that was rigged in his helmet. It was a first ever but Kindle might not even qualify for that. An aid like that
might not even help Kindle but that's what Stan wanted to know.Last edited by AirFlacco; 05-25-2012 at 01:25 AM.

Re: Kindle Update
if they allow hearing aids, which they should, i cant see the difference in a device that funnels sound to his good ear alone rather than amplifying it to a bad ear. I would assume the league would allow him to wear such a device, whether it actually helps him or not is another question.

Re: Kindle Update
I vaguely remember that when Vince Lombardi was coach of the Redskins. he discovered that his RB Larry Brown has a hearing impairment that made him get off the ball a step behind the count. I think they rigged up some kind of hearing device in his helmet that solved the problem. With today's technology that should be an easy fix unless the league is concerned that somehow Sergio will pick up transmissions to the opponents QB and therefore know what play is coming. That seems a bit paranoid to me however and could be easily monitored.

Re: Kindle Update
I really hope he somehow pans out but if Kindle does not produce in August he will be cut before week 1. We took a shot on an athletic freak with "off the field issues" and missed.
