The use of this new technology, they claim violates provisions of the Americans With Disabilities Act. The plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages and an injunction requiring the hospital to provide deaf patients with auxiliary aids and services for more effective communication. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1107783337457 " target="blank">www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1107783337457 </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
