Here's an awesome video teaser with some great but somber-like music in the background about the truth in a world where deaf, hard of hearing and hearing people struggle to communicate between each other on a daily basis. What is this top secret video about? What truth will come out in February 2011?
Watch, wait and find out. You ain't seen nothing yet.....!

sComm, Inc Wins $1.3 Million NIH Award
Just received personal words via my email from the CEO of sComm, Jason Curry, whose company was recently awarded a few days ago a $1.3 million dollar funding from the National Institute of Health (NIH). The recent award will help fund the Phase II of their product that provides technology-based tools that enable face-to-face communication betweeen deaf and hearing people, and between people in other communication-challenged situations. The Mission of sComm is Freedom through Communication. sComm, Inc. of Kansas City, MO has completed a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project, funded by NIH, to develop a stand-alone communications device for the deaf and hearing-impaired. The recent award will help sComm, Inc continue with their Phase II project.
But sComm's fundamental contribution reaches far beyond the tools.
Jason Curry, who is deaf and wears a cochlear implant ever since 2000, is a known innovator and motivator whose positive energy encourages people to set their own goals to a higher standard for themselves. Now, Jason Curry and his company, sComm, Inc will have an even higher goal to break....a device enabling independent face to face communication between deaf and hearing people. The power of transformation. The power of greater independency.
For more information please contact Jason Curry, Founder and CEO, jason@jasoncurry.com or Emma Curry, Administrator, Emma1@sbcglobal.net

But sComm's fundamental contribution reaches far beyond the tools.
"We have observed that deaf users of our tools experience a profound sense of freedom and independence that greatly transcends the tools. Gone is dependence on a human interpreter; gone is the reduced quality of content that gradually overtakes a signed, or handwritten conversation. Instead, the user experiences authentic, nuanced, rapid-fire conversation that was never possible before."
