I have a Panasonic EZ48VP DVD/VCR combo unit which I purchased either in 2011 or 2012. Said DVD recorder/player has the ability to generate its own closed captioning. I only found this out a month ago :-(

Sappstter, Don't give up;keep trying. I was fitted with new hearing aids this year and have had 3 adjustments already. The hearing aid specialist put a probe around my neck which connected to a computer. The computer was able to calculate usage statistics (I have 3...

I wanted to be a lawyer or R&B singer. My speech problems (stuttering) and hearing problems cancelled those dreams. I'm retired now. Now that I'm an adult,I'd like to be an investor if I ever hit the lotto. :-) LOL

Doing all that pushing and deadlifting and making claims for physical disability. He's in big trouble now. I'll be glad when his claim is rejected! He's a scammer.

I bought a CapTel 840I about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Regarding wi-fi,I couldn't get a consistent connection even though my router was only 1 1/2 feet from the phone. (?) Had to use an ethernet cable (supplied) to connect phone to router. One problem with the phone involves the caller id. It never,I...

Podiecat, I bought a CapTel 840I 2 1/2 weeks ago. I previously had a CapTel 800. Even though the 840I has an answering machine,it doesn't have true caller id,as advertised. Neither the CapTel 800 or 840I will show a caller's name,phone number,and time of call. They will only show...

You're welcome,Vacation Guy. Glad to have helped you.

I don't have experience with Ensemble,but I do own a Captel 840I. I previously owned a CapTel 800. Some of my friends were a little pissed having to dial a routing number with the CapTel 800. The CapTel 840I will caption both outgoing and incoming calls but I'm constantly pressing the...

I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian. (Eat eggs and milk) Never could eat as much meat as most people (gave me gas) and made the switch way back in 1989. It did improve my endurance somewhat,probably due to increased glycogen (muscle sugar) storage. In my 1st marathon in 1977,I "hit the wall" at mile...

This is Reba's 2nd thread on this issue. These extremist Muslims believe in killing all "heretics". (Non-Muslims) As I said on the other thread,the international community needs to put radical,I repeat,radical Islam in its place once and for all! These murderers need to be hunted down and...

I'm an Orthodox Christian. Thanks for starting this thread,Reba. These extremist Muslims want to kill all "heretics" (non-Muslims). The international community needs to put radical,I repeat,radical Islam,in its place,once and for all! The radicals need to know that if they commit murder,we...

My father (88 years old) is a civil rights veteran who participated in the original March on Washington,August,1963. I still think there's quite a way to go. Among the United States "Fortune 500",if black Americans are 12% of the population,are there approximately 60 black Americans in that...

I'm HOH (wear 2 hearing aids) and sing with my church choir. (Eastern Orthodox) I was discovered quite by accident. I was at Bible study at a member's apartment and saw some sheet music on her piano. So,I let out a few bars. The choir director (priest's wife) said a voice as good as mine...

I'm a Civil War buff. I'm not going to say that that flag should never be flown. Also,symbols change over time. Some people fly this particular flag only to say that they're proud to have been born in the South. I have no problem with that. I know this response might sound a little...

I'm an ovo-lacto vegetarian. (Eggs and milk,but no meats or fish.) Diabetes is very prevalent in my family and I hear vegetarians are less likely to get diabetes.

I have both Google's g-mail and a Yahoo account. I like Yahoo Mail better because it has unlimited storage and is easier for me to use.

Interesting,Grummer! Here in VA,I see quite a few whites with adopted kids from Central Asia and East Asia. What's wrong with adopting some US kids for a change? Years ago,I did know a married Orthodox Christian deacon. He and his wife (Greco-Americans) adopted an African-American girl...

Years ago,the choir director (ordained reader) refused me membership in my church's choir (Eastern Orthodox) after seeing me wearing one hearing aid. Reader didn't think I'd be able to keep up,myself being HOH. A few months ago,I was at Bible study. Seeing some sheet music on our host's piano,I...

I had quite a few: Rolo: Chocolate discs with caramel centers Kit-Kat Nestle's Crunch Milk chocolates (solid-no nuts) Hersey's kisses Milky Way Three Musketeers Mounds (I don't like coconut candies nowadays)

Answering the ? which titles this thread,I decided to see How Merriam-Webster's dictionary defines "deaf" and "hard-of-hearing". Deaf: "lacking or deficient in the sense of hearing" Hard-of-hearing: "relating to or having a defective but functional sense of hearing" These 2 dictionary...
