Yes, you do.

The "TDD"/"TTY" mode on phones doesn't turn your phone into a tty, it's a mode where you can connect an existing TTY via a special cable (via your headphone jack) to your smart phone. In order to use TTY mode you still need to have a portable TTY with DI connectability.

Do you mean "voiceless" as in they are physically unable to produce any sounds. Or do you mean someone who is unable to speak? Mute might be applicable (and acceptable) for someone who unable to make any sounds at all. mute should never be used to equal being void of language (which is a...

Wirelessly posted (Blackberry Bold ) If you find BiCROS to be helpful (a bit, or a lot) will be something only you can determine by giving it a try. (Which is why your Audie couldn't give you an "yes" or "no" answer.) For myself, I haven't found BiCROS to work for me, but that's due in...

Steinhauer, you mean you don't miss Rochester Method? :roll:

Just a question... what exactly were you wanting to "help out" with?

No, they're two entirely different fields. Interpreters aren't teachers, they are people who facilitate communication between people using different languages (ASL & English, Spanish & French, Germans and Tagalog etc). Teachers aren't interpreters, they are people who teach in whichever...

I personally really prefer the BTE over ITE etc. The BTEs mean you can get a better quality HA for the same price (as a lower quality ITE) and they also tend to last longer and be more durable etc. That being said, some people find that BTEs and glasses can be a bit tricky to get used to, and...

They will be a part of the disability services dept. Disability Resources & Educational Services - University of Illinois

I use my eyes.

There are, and have been plenty of Visual and Tactile signalling systems on the market - and have been for more than 40 years. I looked at the first few questions and it's all the typical "oh my gosh, how do you function" stuff hearing people always ask when they haven't done any research first.

I'm a bit confused. Did you want to teach, or interpret? EIPA certs are for "Ed interpreters" (school aged kids). They aren't teaching degrees (or any kind of degree for that matter). Can you elaborate more about what specifically you want to be able to do?

Every interpreter I've ever worked with has mouthed (to various extents) the English along with the ASL when they are interpreting. One of the main reasons this is important is because the Hoh/Deaf client is able to learn the interpreters sign/word choices. If I'm working with the same...

If the boyfriend is locking the (adults/parent) door for privacy, then the easiest thing would be to just put a doorbell (visual signaller) on the outside of their bedroom. I think it's reasonable for the mom and her boyfriend to have a way to prevent kids from barging in (and kids DO), however...

Please don't take this the wrong way people, but I'm not sure having a bunch of ASL students "guessing" really helps. Also, for those who are in ITP etc, please keep in mind that while there is a certain about of "interpretation" permitted - it's also important that when interpreting you don't...

Sorry I'm a bit late jumping in on this. As my signature says, I was born with Right side SSD, and then acquired HL on my left side as well. I also have APD (which wasn't diagnosed until adulthood, but I've had my entire life). The first thing I'd recommend is requesting a complete...

Wirelessly posted (Blackberry Bold ) I have to agree with Bebonang - my parent had no intention (or knowledge) to do what was best for me as a Hoh/Deaf child. They wanted what was easiest for them, made me 'hearing' and did whatever a doctors told them (even if I told them it wasn't working...

Wirelessly posted (Blackberry Bold ) Another vote for Sonic Alert's travel alarm clock.

I see nothing in the lyrics that indicate any amount of shame, resentment or anything else for the disparity in the two people's feelings. There's nothing at all to indicate that it should be read as "I'm ashamed that I feel this way and you don't".

Um - those aren't the lyrics though ... so it's kind of a moot point there. I've bolded the part of the lyrics attached to the sign in question. The lyrics are: Easy come easy go, that's just how you live Oh, take, take, take it all but you never give Should've known you was trouble from the...
