43、n through a magnetic wireless signal.“We need to change the myth that deaf people cant enjoy music,” Lee says.“I dont let my deafness affect me.I want to show the world that deaf people can play music as well as the hearing peers.” With one in six people suffering from hearing loss in the UK and aro

45、aken matters into his own hands.In 2003,he founded Deaf Rave,a quarterly(季度的) event designed for deaf club members.The inspiration came from his experiences at warehouse(仓库) parties in the early 1990s.“Its something I cant quite describe,” he says,“the lights shining in the place and the biggest sou
46、nd systems I have ever seen or felt,shaking the entire warehouse.” From that moment in 1991,he set out to convince the deaf community that joining the club was as much a part of their culture as the hearing people.

50、been done to meet the needs of the deaf. C.The deaf arent treated equally with hearing people.
