    Therapist Refuses To Allow Me To Use TTS Or Other Speaking Aids

    They are assuming that your inability to speak has a psychological origin, rather than a physical one. You need to get a letter from a medical doctor confirming the diagnosis. I am wondering why you have been routed into this kind of therapy, when work with a speech therapist would also...

    Utah father says newborn’s mother placed child for adoption

    I agree that it is not right to assume. However, non-Mormons and ex-Mormons in Utah are generally much more liberal than devout Mormons (this excludes jack-Mormons, who may in some respects still believe, but do not conform to LDS practices). And, of course, the devout are more likely to be...

    Utah father says newborn’s mother placed child for adoption

    In the Mormon scheme of things, women do not have as many rights as men. However, due to their extreme ambivalence about sexuality, this is an exception. Because women are raised to be so subservient, fewer women leave Mormonism. Men are more likely to leave. Thus, a woman who makes a sexual...

    I need to start using Skype

    My daughter lives in California, and I am having real problems understanding what she says on phone. I have discussed this with her before, so she won't be surprised when I bring up the subject. I have an android tablet with skype preloaded on it, but don't know where to go from there. She...

    11 month old keeps pulling her aids out!

    Yeah. And that makes a lot of difference in how motivated parents will be to get her to wear it all the time while awake. If that one is profound, it would make a big difference in brain and language development.

    11 month old keeps pulling her aids out!

    I saw this problem in church this morning, sent the mom the links for the cap, thread and board. Don't know how much of a loss the child has, or why the left is unaided.

    Researchers identify forerunners of inner-ear cells that enable hearing

    Hearing people vastly underrate the sixth sense, which is sense of balance. If that could be restored, it would be great in itself. :cool2:

    The road to be smoke-free.

    Pays for the extra health care costs that smokers have.

    The road to be smoke-free.

    Still doing fine. There are temptations, like when someone else is smoking. However, I was talking to a friend last night, and I found the smell oppressive.

    What email program do you use?

    hotmail/live/outlook. When they tied it to Outlook, it became almost useless. I use Chrome. That addy has been mine for so long, I can't easily change it now. I just discovered that it works better with IE, so I am using IE for e-mail, and Chrome for everything else. :thumbd:

    Question about HoH grandpapa

    Current research indicates that people with age-related hearing loss and Alzheimer's function much better when the hearing loss is addressed. There may be concerns about money, but body-worn hearing aids are rarely stolen from residents of care facilities; they are sturdier and less expensive...

    What is most hated candy?

    I definitely do not like peeps, candy corn, atomic balls. I just don't like any candy that is nearly pure sugar. I used to get Mom "Queen Anne" brand chocolate covered cherries, because her name was Annie. :D And I still like them, in moderation. Samplers are fun. I prefer dark...

    The road to be smoke-free.

    Still doing fine. Have gone through some emotional crises that would have gotten me back smoking other times. I wonder if some of those crises were intentionally generated????? Son seems to have more respect for me. And I am being more assertive with him.

    Virtigo again?

    Do you have any meclizine? Over the counter, sometimes special order at Wally's pharm. Dr. ever put you on a short course of prednisone? Been eating too much salty food?

    Where do the Hard of Hearing fall on the Hearing -Deaf Spectrum

    The problem is with labels. Many people would rather see labels pinned to everyone and everything. It makes the world more comfortable for them. They refuse to see people (including themselves) on multidimensional continua. Instead of D/h, I can describe myself as having a 55db loss...

    HELP! How to remove Windows Server immediately?

    That took a long time to resolve. Glad you are happy now. :wave: I have been known to go downtown and buy another rebuilt for $100. That is the cheap and simple way to fix it. :D

    Our Puppy loves hearing aids!

    I have had that problem, too. Dogs just love the taste of earwax. Gag. No serious harm, the Siemens ITE's were just recased.

    The road to be smoke-free.

    Still vaping 0 nicotine. I have some with nicotine available for emotional crises, when I might otherwise have a cigarette (but if I did, it would only be a few puffs before I would start feeling sick, so why light one?). Yesterday was like a soap opera with everyone around me, starting at...
