      Conn.'s first housing for the hearing impaired planned for Middletown

      For a fortunate few, the isolation that comes with deafness and is sharpened by old age could be eased with a housing project of their own in Middletown.

      About 100 people gathered on Monday for a groundbreaking ceremony for the 16-unit complex for the elderly who are hearing impaired, a facility Middletown officials say is the first of its kind in the state and one of only a few in the country. The nearest housing for the hearing impaired is in Danvers, Mass.

      The crowd included deaf people, advocates for the hearing impaired, city officials and others. Construction is expected to be completed in less than a year.

      Bessie Diot, 77, who lives alone in Meriden and has applied to move in at the new housing complex, said she has visited similar places in Ohio and Massachusetts, but wants to stay in Connecticut.

      "Community is so important," she said through an interpreter. "Socialization is so important. I need human contact."
