Hi everyone
I was looking into closed captioning issues with HDMI. Just recently read a customer review on BestBuy about lack of CC in the tv she bought. As we are about to buy our first LCD television set I thought I had better find out more info.
I am HOH and wore hearing aids for a little while at school. However it was not a pleasant experience. I had speech therapy when they first discovered my hearing loss at age 4 and it got me up to speed. I never actually wore hearing aids until I began working after my kids all started school. I found my hearing had deteriorated alot since school.
My deafness is familial and it is a nerve deafness that degenerates as we get older. My mother, sister and myself are HOH whilst my brother is not. This trait is interspersed throughout the extended family in various ways. We think it is a recessive gene, but have never had it proven. Whilst I am moderately severe now, this will pogress as I get older as it has with my mother who is now classified with zero decibel hearing. Once she puts hearing aids in she is able to hear at 30 percent. Amazing! These new digital hearing aids are a god send.
I am originally from New Zealand and emigrated to the USA 10 years ago.
Anyhow that's me, sort of!
