"I see the noise of New York - but I don't have to hear it"

Outlook

Available for over a year

New York taxi driver Yuriy Grinman doesn't hear any of the honking horns and sirens that make up the sounds of New York City's streets as he's deaf. He uses a taxi-hailing app, which allows customers to submit trip requests and pre-pay for their journeys. Reporter Colm Flynn went to meet Yuri in NYC. (Photo credit: Colm Flynn.)
