With my profound loss, I did not get any benefit from digital. I used them on a trial as I decided for CI or not. I lasted a few weeks on them and back to my Unitrons.
Thanks for supporting the educational claims I made for VR. And you are correct. Your file will be kept open until you have found employment, maintained that employment for s specific time, and should you need additional accommodations that the job refuses to provide, they will reopen your case and mediate the situation for you, including testifying on your behalf should a lawsuit under the ADA become necessary.
