STAFF and students at Bolton Community College found out about the latest hi-tech equipment available to help the deaf when the Listening Bus paid them a visit.

The bus, which belongs to the National Deaf Children's Society, is fitted with state-of-the-art text and video telephones, listening aids, fire alarms, door bells and subtitled televisions and videos.

The Manchester Road college is well known for its work with the deaf and hard of hearing students.
