[nfb-db] Usher 3

[Shadow Wolf]

Hello April,

Everyone who has Usher's will eventually lose their vision at one time 
or another. And I think those with Usher's 1 and 3 also have balance 
problems. I believe that Usher's 1 starts at birth or at a young age. I 
admit, I don't know much about either Usher's 1 or 3. But those who 
suffer from Usher's 1 or 3 tend to have other psychical disabilities 
other than just the eyes and ears.

In fact, for over a decade, I had used closed captioning on the tv to understand most shows, until my vision loss no longer allows me to.  So now, many science shows I would otherwise enjoy, I can not hear or see.
