Sometimes people are horrible and often downright cruel, but the core issue seems to be ignorance. The way you have been and/or are being treated is reprehensible and unfair. I know what you're feeling, the anger, hurt, frustration and confusion that is coming from one of the people who should...

I am I have severe to profound hearing loss and after researching the various brands I decided to get the Phonak SKY Q UP 70. I have found that along with the Roger intergrated FM system that I can hear speech better than with my old Starkey hearing aids. The Roger FM system is available on...

Thank you for your ideas. I should've waited a few hours after learning about the possibility of firearms on campus instead of posting right away. While I am concerned about people who were in my life, I am much more concerned about guns being around minors. We are a dual enrollment campus...

Florida lawmakers are debating whether or not those with concealed carry permits will be allowed to have their firearms on state college campuses. Now I am all for concealed carry as a means of legitimate self defense, but let's exam the intelligence or lack thereof in this decision... Call me...

Good point. Now my only problem will be the medical bill. I think next time I will tell them to stop at one. :hmm:

I spent most of my day having my hearing tested about 4 or 5 times. After all the results came back the same, the audiologist's first words were "I'm sorry, but it appears your former doctor overlooked your hearing loss for quite awhile." After staring at her, speechless for five minutes, I...

Thank You! I saw the audiologist about an hour ago, and as some of you mentioned the model that she recommended the Naída S had been discontinued. Getting her to admit why she recommended the Naída was like pulling teeth; apparently she didn't mention the Sky Q because she has never worked...

I finally decided to go with Phonak and am tryouts to decide between Sky Q-70 UP or Naída S UP. I can't find anything that will tell me the differences between the two. Any information is appreciated. Thanks!:wave:

Thank you! I have found more support here than anywhere else (except for my family). :wave:

Legally speaking, you have right to request that your daughter be moved RSD. Federal Law gives your daughter the right to a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE), whether its a mainstream school or charter school. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) also makes provisions...

I can only remember being spanked once, because I had used a long string of profanities, I was 7 and I new better, but I did it anyway. When I was 5 I tried to place my hand on the heating element of our stove, my wrist was swatted (very lightly,just enough to get my attention) and I was...

I had no idea what was happening, having low self esteem didn't help. I wish I had know what would happen. Now that I have found my own self worth and accept myself; I know what to watch for, it makes things much easier. :wave:

I have used CART services here in Florida during my classes and personally, I now avoid it like the plague. My college has CART and I did not know that they would provide a computer and as a result, I lost two computers to hackers. Both happened on campus on their internet. I brought this to...

Oh his entire family was the same. A lot of good came from that experience, I have been able to help others find the courage to accept help and escape. Thank you link and encouragement!

In my life I have learned many things and perhaps by sharing this, it can help others who may be going through something similar. A few years ago, shortly after getting my first pair of hearing aids, a friend had set me up on a "blind date" without telling me, and introduced me to "Chris"...

I am so sorry for what is happening to you. Please forgive me if this comes across as rude and/or uncaring because I re don't mean it to be. I have a service dog too, and legally we (you and I) are NOT required to "prove" that our dogs are legitimate service dogs, unfortunately with the...

You're right. Sometimes the problem stems from an administration oversight, but the more I read here on alldeaf and the laws I have decided to ask for an advocate. A friend of mine knows of one who has worked with d/Deaf and HoH before. The only thing worse than the professors are the high...

Welcome I am sorry about the problems that you are having. In regards to your service dog, federal and state laws protect YOU and YOUR DOG not the the people around you. The only time the laws don't protect you, are if your dog is agressive and/or out of your control. In some state interfering...

Thank you both. As I went back and re-read my post, I realized that I had forgotten to proof read it. I loved my Starkey BTEs and I was confused when they said my hearing test was worse. For my first pair, I was blessed to have them given to me as a gift. I've had my family call a few places...
