I know the character on the show went deaf due to a virus, but I didn't know the actor, himself had gone deaf? Interesting.... Jayna Williams-Coluccio, Au.D....
From what I can gather from an online search, the actor is playing a character who is deaf from meningitis, but the actor is not deaf himself. Apparently the...

Wow Mark, This is a tough one. Have you asked yourself how this would change your life now if you were to talk to her? Would it give you closure on this? I am...
Mark, I think it would be good for you to at least talk with the person, not in an "accusatory" way, but just for info. Maybe she needs closure too. Who...
