for now I want to narrow down to the ADA laws to the companion interpreter part. I just want to know if I can legally have a companion interpreter. any tips anyone has? see notes below: ----------- The ADA very clearly states the need for proper communication with hard of hearing and deaf...

I know this topic is old. I did a search "interpreter" and ended up in this old topic. My biggest question is: "in what why is a wife allowed to interpret for you?". how do we draw the line in having a wife to do the interpretation for free or hiring a costly certified interpreter? in most...

--reasonable commendations - case by case bases---??? Here is my case. I go to a senior center but never do well with hearing others (profound hearing loss - rather use, "deaf") and staff that makes announcements and answer questions. One day-a staff told me it was mandatory to come to...

I have the new Nadia S UP with mypilot. The "S" means with the new Spice chip.

Nadia's soundrecover may be worth it alone. I have tried the Oticon Chili but I don't think it would be as good as Nadia.

I'm trying this Nadia S 9 Up myself. I used to be responsible for calibrating high end color printers to match cameras used in very large corporate companies. I've worked closely with Kodak, Fuji canon, Nikon etc and learned how to make printers print the way it's meant to print. My...

Why would I want an Oticon over the Phonak or why would I want a Phonak over an Oticon for ultrapower users. Which are better?

This is the first time I ever heard someone other than me that had clicking problems with hearing aids. Please tell us more about the clicking sounds. I also had to return the aids due to clicking. Some say the clicking comes from the hearing aids and some say the clicking comes from your ear...

I did, once, order Hearing aid batteries online and found them to be a year older than the ones you buy at an an audiologist office. Is there an on-line battery shop that would sell fresher batteries?

Nah, You're not off the topic. Thanks for your reply. This part of my life is over. Well, I mean, as a Christian, I may view as God using the deafs as a sign to the public. What I mean is, somehow, throughout my life, I leave a ~trail~ of mishaps or destruction like angles doing the work of the...

I'm wondering if the Democrats or the Republicans supports the deaf culture. I'm asking who did a good thing for the deaf regarding Social Security and it's benefits and ADA. Who supports better than the other? Is there anything in Obama's new healtcare plan that will benefit the deaf culture?

Well, I guess I sound soooo scared. It's not that. It seems that some SSDi'ers are saying that sometimes it's a one way street. If you don't do things right, you're screwed. It seems to me that I need to prepare myself to the best before I walk in to the SS. I heard so many final decisions made...

I don't know how to sign but wished I did. My parents pushed me toward the "hearing" environment since birth. I combine lipreading with my hearing aids. Please guess the chances of my hearing being: "* Average hearing threshold sensitivity for air conduction of 90 decibels or greater". 75 db at...

Wow! You mean SS trust any doctor's option? I was thinking that SS would assign me a doctor associated to SS. I have an audiologist who knows me very well and I also have a family doctor but all he knows is that I lipread and I have to remove my hearing aids for ear exam. I wonder if my...
