So you've been there?! Everytime I'm in Dayton, I wonder where I am (and why I'm there) :giggle:

JennyB, sorry you've lost that speech perception. That was really exciting when you posted it. My audiogram last November was very similar to this. I haven't gone back for another yet. I've found my Naidas are less and less useful, and they now spend equal time in my ears and on my...

:laugh2: It would certainly differentiate us from the terps!

Did somebody call for a Deaf quadriplegic? :wave: :naughty:

I find it incredibly hypocritical when Deaf say they want to be treated equally, want every opportunity availlable to the hearing, then rely on their deafness as an excuse to escape a responsibility. Serving on a jury is an privilege, a part of living in a country with a judicial system which...

Thanks, OceanBlue7. I found that too. Many of the links are broken and not much info on agencies, but I appreciate you looking. Any "inside information" out there?
