When it comes to finding information in general, most people use the internet. Of course, it also applies to search for news, treatments, people associated with the diseases, in this case of Usher syndrome.
If, as explained in a previous article, internet users use Facebook for an exchange of information and a quick confrontatio, we wish to point out the best web pages for those who want to integrate into the global Usher community, more from a virtually human point of view, rather than the purely scientific and medical ones.
The web pages listed here, in fact, are blogs, poems and stories of people who have to do with Usher Syndrome personally
The research was done obviously through the web, but fails to overcome the language barriers of Noisyvision editors who can not find pages in languages other than English, Italian, Spanish.
Who knows if out there in the WWW there is some good story in Turkish, Russian, Greek.We’d love to know.
