To mark Deafblind Awareness Week, Clive Mason and Heidi Koivisto Robertson examine the social impact of being deaf and losing your sight. The Deaf community prides itself on being inclusive and welcoming to all, but are deafblind people treated equally? Plus we meet deafblind musician Russ Palmer who communicates with his wife by using touch. He demonstrates how he can recreate an entire orchestra on his arm. And there's a round-up of what's been going on in the Deaf community over the last month.
