Watch how Jason Curry, Inventor and Owner of Scommonline.com communicate with his hearing buddy at a donut shop.

I’m going to try to make this a regular feature by publishing a list of websites that were added to the Deafbiz.com Links Directory for the last 30 days.

In the Links Directory at Deafbiz.com, I personally review every single website to make sure it is truly a real website and not a junk “splog” website that was design totally to game Google’s Adsense. If you have a website and want to show up on Google, best way to do that is to get a link from a higher PR website. Deafbiz.com alternates between PR4 and PR5, which is pretty good.

But to make my job easier to promote your website, all you need to do is fill out the “Submit Website” form with the category you want the website to be in, and I will review within 24-48 hours.

This is a list of websites added in the last 30 days:

Here’s another story that will add fuel to the fire about Cochlear Implant debate:

Girl Dies of Bacterial Meningitis

Doctors said bacterial meningitis is not contagious. They believe it may have been caused by Katie’s cochlear implant. They said it could have been prevented with a vaccination.”I had tried and they were always out,” Engle said. “After going back several times, I forgot about it.”

I gotta really ask the hard hitting questions:

Who said that bacterial meningitis is related to CI?
When did she have her CI surgery?
Why was it so difficult to get the vaccination?
Why did the doctor(s) go ahead with CI surgery when she didn’t have vaccination?
Did the doctors know or didn’t know she had her vaccination?

I hope this is a lesson learn “the hard way” for all prospective CI patients and their doctors. But I would say in this case protocols were not followed!

I know the protocols because I had all my shots before the CI surgery!

Kudos to Scommonline for working very hard to get the word out about UbiDuo and for Kokonut Pundits to bring this to my attention. The local FoxNews TV station did a show and it’s a great video of how UbiDuo works:

Device Gives More Independence To Hard of Hearing

Though it’s not subtitled on the web, Kokonut Pundit did the transcription.

FYI, WinfreePCS Inc. has purchased two UbiDuos for demo around Rochester, NY. If you want to see it in action, please fill out the contact form on their website or on this weblog as well.

Another round of emails about my “arrest” and this time was modified. Why am I being slandered AGAIN? Who wants to harm my reputation? And why NOW??

If you get this email, please “copy and paste” the entire email (including header) in the Contact Us form so I can get network security specialists to do a trace and seek legal action against the rumormonger. Thank you.

Rochester Woman Arrested in Alleged Charity Scam

(April 3, 2006) - Deaf woman is arrested for operating a charity scam and accused of ripping off thousands of people over the Internet.
Police say Judy Slomovic Gunter, the owner of www.deafbiz.com, gathered thousands of dollars in her donation scam. She allegedly convinced more than three hundred people to donate money. The victims apparently believed they were giving money to the Anti-Gun Foundation for a walk-a-thon that Gunter said she planned to enter. Rochester Police Lieutenant Dave Waller says Gunter collected about $70,200 in cash by convincing people on the Internet that she was collecting for the Anti-Gun Foundation.

Waller says the 44-year-old Gunter really used the money for purchasing two vehicles. He says he found about $28,300 in cash and $2,500 in checks in her residence. Gunter had donors write out the checks to the Anti-Gun Foundation, which were easily the first three letters of her last name.

“Her last name was Gunter, so she would only have had to put in the last three letters to modify the name on the checks,” said Detective Bob Welch with the Rochester Police Department.
Gunter was charged this week with possession of felony theft and felony deception. Gunter is being held on a $150,000 bond.
