    TV help!!!!

    Television isn't too bad with captioning. I just hate watching the news. Mainly, because when they go to a reporter "on site", the captioning will just stop and it won't show what that reporter is saying! I always hated it, so I basically stopped watching it, and now read the newspaper if I want...

    Canadian internet relay ????

    Forgot to add about CHS. Reason there isn't many interpreters: Lost of funding. Not only that, but in my area, if you have a child who is deaf or hoh, you have to go to Ottawa to get full time help, and Ottawa is an hour and a half away! The government just won't help fund CHS and people...

    ASL in Healthcare

    I may not be in America, but Canadian health care is the pits. :ugh3: Last summer, I had to have my gallbladder out. I was sleeping the day before I was SUPPOSED to have the surgery. Now, we all know you have to take out your HA/CIs to sleep... apparently not doctors. They were leaning over me...

    Ever been insulted for being deaf?

    Ah so many times. Although I'm hard of hearing. My lovely friends would tell me what this one B*tch would always say during lunch. Lots of wonderful things. I'm apparently stupid, mute(when I talk a lot..where is she getting that?!), she also assumed I was always drunk. Uhm sure, it's not...

    Using TTYs

    I haven't had my TTY for a while, and have only used it a handful of times. For the most part, I use it to call individuals, such as friends and family. I'm wondering, is it any different with calling companys or businesses? There are times where I need customer service on something, but I don't...

    How old were you when you first experienced job discrimination as deaf person

    I was sixteen, three years ago. I forget what the company was called(they closed about a year later), but they told me that they can't hire "disabled" people. :ugh3: My parents friends would have me babysit sometimes, and I usually did it for free(these people were on welfare...didn't feel...

    how old you when you become deaf or hearing loss

    I started losing my hearing at age 2(or three, depends on which parent you ask), causes? Unknown. Sad how back then(meaning before the 90's), testing a newborn for hearing impairment wasn't manitory :ugh3: So some kids never heard a thing until their parents got a clue and realized they...
