I don't want to drive all way to doctor to get result. They said sorry can't give me the answer. BUT my mom called doctor, my mom is hearing. They gave my mom my result. I gave them a permission for tell my mom everything so it's fine with me if they tell my mom but I don't understand why they can tell my mom over phone but won't tell me because of relay there. I don't care about if relay know or not. it pissed me off.

amen!! i have this problem frequently. i live at a lake and have no land phone line. i live near small town and im 20mins away from that town! i dont have a tty and my signing isnt fluent so cant use vrs yet. i have to use ip relay or have a friend or family member make my phone calls for me. my prob is that i can talk but cant hear. so ill be telling and signing to my mom what to say to the people on the phone and they think i lying because they hear me talk and say she not deaf i can hear her in back ground then they almost always hang up on us! aarrrggg!!! just because i voice doesnt make me any less deaf. people are so ignorant. anyway, i have learned to go in person to the bank or where ever and tell them that i want my mother or friend to be on my account not to have access to my info or money but simply to help in communication over phone. supprisingly this usually will work. just a thought to all those who have someone who can make a call for them. im very independent so it is hard for me to do it this way but when in need it works!!!!
