Right. Equal access is still protected. If an accomodation isn't enough for the deaf employee to have equal access then they have a right to one of the above, i.e. a staff meeting; to have equal access they need an interpreter. For phone calls, VRS may be preferred but sadly TTYs are "sufficient/good enough," which is all they require.
