Nathan Borg (Deaf with Cochlear Implant) | #44 ListenABLE

    • Society & Culture

When Nathan Borg became frustrated with the lack of characters on television who accurately portrayed his disability, he called Channel 10 and suggested a completely new character. Nathan, who is deaf and uses a cochlear implant, now plays Curtis on 'Neighbours,' Australia's longest-running soap opera. Nathan tells Dylan and Angus about being warned to give up acting when he was younger, how he can regulate what and how he hears with a high-tech app, and how the three create a master scheme to cheat on Who Wants to Be A Millionaire using Nathan's cochlear implant.
