    Do deaf folks consider themselves disabled?

    This really sets me off when I think about it. And, yes I do think hearing loss is a disability. But really, who wants to define themselves as being disabled? No, I am not disabled, but I do have a disability. Granted every part of my body works and is healthy but my ears. (I hate seeing...

    SS office called, do you think I am approved?

    I figured the paystubs were for ssi but we havent' heard anything from them so we figured they were waiting to see if I qualified for ssdi. Then we would make too much money for ssi. Heard all the backpay stuff gets messed up and sometimes you are better just pulling your app for ssi and...

    Financial help for cochlear implants?

    Thanks, we didn't apply for ssdi or ssi until after he went back to work. Is it 2000 he can make a month or more than that with allowances? Because it is only a few hundred more than that a month. Haven't heard anything on ssi either. We applied in March. I know it takes a while but seems...

    Financial help for cochlear implants?

    Was looking at the hospital site and they have a financial aid/charity department that bases your bills on your income if you have no other insurance so I am going to check that out! Only thing I see though is it has to be a medical necessity, not sure if a cochlear would be deemed a necessity.

    which is better?

    One thing I think is very important to remember is if your child can use hearing aids and benefit from them by learning speech and understanding speech even if he has to look at you to know you are talking to him it is a benefit of hearing. Cochlear implants, once you get them you have...

    medcaid or medicare

    You can still try but most insurances will say you have to have them listed before you can make a claim on them. Doesn't cost extra just have to have them listed.

    medcaid or medicare

    I am not sure to answer your question but if you have renters insurance or own your home, house insurance it is a good idea to tell them the serial # and have them list them as property and if you misplace or damage them say in your home you can likely get it covered. Would have never thought...

    Is sign language Universal?

    I realize the english alphabet is different from other languages but if you were to sign with a person that speaks a different language would you be able to understand what they were saying? Or would the signs be so different that you couldn't even know what they were signing about?
