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...

Congratulations!! Beautiful pictures and adorable daughter :)

If I recall, if you have health insurance, it's covered. ONLY if you are reccomended for it. (I believe) I do know how much it costs to get it...$50,000 canadian. -Krista

HAHA! It's an okay job, my co-workers are great with my hearing loss, they let me know when the oven is beeping and such. It's fun when you're not being hit on my truckers haha! I love it too...to an extent :giggle: -Krista

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...

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...

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...

Thank you!!! I'm not entirely sure what 2-line VCO is however. Yes I do speak, I use the VCO and actually am borrowing a new tty(portable one) from CHS. Thanks again :) -Krista

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...

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...

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...
