Danish term

døve døvblinde/døve døvblindblevne

Danish to English Medical Medical (general) deaf-blind issues
This is another strange one, which doesn't bring up much on google when I try 'deaf deaf-blind' or 'hard of hearing acquired deaf-blind'. Does anyone know if there is a special phrase for this? It appears quite a few times (I haven't yet come across blind døvblinde). I wondered whether it was an error, but it appears too many times for that.
Thanks in advance.
Proposed translations (English)
4 +1 deaf deafblind/deaf deafblind (aquired condition)

Rather than a comma, do you think there should be a 'bindestreg' instead, i.e. d�ve- d�vblinde / d�ve- d�vblindblevne? It just seems to make no sense calling a patient deaf and deaf-blind, i.e. xx, a deaf deaf-blind man who...

Perhaps a comma is missing: d�ve, d�vblinde

I think the 2nd "døve" in the source text should have been "døvblevne".

Sorry about typo! BLANGSTED is right.
Please read: "deaf deafblind/deaf deafblind (acquired condition)"
