Thanks for some more info Jillio. What exactly is a hearing rehab counselor? I may need to look into these services. Also, what does BVR stand for? Business vocational rehabilitation? I'm trying figure out the best approach, I fear I will be totally deaf in a couple of years. I need to get going on a new career path. I would really like to figure out how to go back to college and retrain. But, like everyone else, I've got bills to pay. I understand it is difficult to offer a "diagnosis" (for lack of a better word) via the internet. I plan on visiting the SSA, I just wanted to get an idea as to what I'm up against.

Kalista, I have no idea what this is saying?

"NO NO !! Need stop feel sorry for ourselves because we can't hear !!! We need to fight ourselves with Private Industries and Federal Government Agencies, WE CAN DO.... Expect... CAN'T HEAR AND SPEAK"

I'm going to take a stab at it:

-If you think I feel sorry for myself because I have a hearing impairment, I don't.

-If you feel we need to push for better accomodations with the Goverment and Private sectors, I agree.

-If you are saying: We can do anything we put our minds to. Absolutely...
