Reading articles at the Social Security website is quite large. I have so many options and each option calls for a different treatments. I have so many questions and not sure what I can do and can't do. How do you guys go about finding an expert to advise you on SSi and SSDI? Perhaps a layer can...

I can't figure this one out. Even though unemployment isn't income, when you apply for unemployment and claim that you are able to work and then apply for SSDI and say you're unable to work, how does that look? Could they deny SSDI due to you claiming your able to work and draw unemployment?

I 'm wondering about the politics of Obama on disabilities. I've read that Obama did something good for the disabilities and wonder what they were. Can anyone list comparisons on disabilities between McCain and Obama? Would have McCain done better on the politics of disabilities than Obama or...

I got a copy of my hearing test. Please help me determine the chances of my hearing being: "* Average hearing threshold sensitivity for air conduction of 90 decibels or greater". 75 db at 250 80 db at 500 95 db at 750 105 db at 100 105 db at 1500 105 db at 2000 It was also written at the bottom...

I can handle the waiting period. What I wanted to ask was, is it wise to draw unemployment and then ask for SSDi. Will the Social Security hold it against me if I drew unemployment? I see messages of conflict on other websites.

Unemployment rules are mighty confusing. I can draw unemployment if I'm physically and mentally able. The Social security office tells me to draw unemployment first and live off that and then come see us to file for disability. If I draw unemployment, then that will tell the social security...

AHHH creative question. I have DSL. So, if I can use the computer on line through DSL and also use the regular landline phone, then you can't call the same lindline phone to listen to your messages. I guess the regular relay services would be the best way to call your own answering machine.

Webtel ~IS~ the online relay for both voice users on both ends. No typing- Two voices. One voice is captioned. Captel is the phone that does everything automatically. One number to call on a two-line Captel. Two numbers to call on a single-line Captel. I'ts like a mini-webtel built into the...

Sort of but let me put it in another way. OHHH! now you got me thinking. I wanted to say that I do have the feature where you call the number of my answering machine and order it to play back messages. I have only one line and it would'nt work if I pick up the phone to call through...

Mine isn't the kind that uses that type of listening. I have the simple answering machine that plays messages out loud. The Captel phone has a feature that allows you to put the mouthpiece to the answering machine and have them to listen/relay for you. I think the phone reverses the earpiece to...

How do you use the WebTel to listen to what's left on your answering machines?

I wanted to add this: clipped---------------- 2.08 Hearing impairments (hearing not restorable by a hearing aid) manifested by: A. Average hearing threshold sensitivity for air conduction of 90decibels or greater, and for bone conduction to corresponding maximal levels, in the better ear...

I'm looking into drawing Disability from SS after 30 years of full time employment with lots of credits. I hear at 70 decibels under 250 freq. I hear 80db at maybe 350, 90 at 400, 100 at 500 and the rest is off the chart. I'm wondering what 90 decibels means at the SS website? Below I posted a...

Good idea!!! Next Time I'll go Blah blahblah.. I might get asked to stay overtime. Thats the problem. The bosses have so much ego power over you in small ways that can't be seen.

I don't get upset over things I can control, because if I can control them there's no sense in getting upset. And I don't get upset over things I can't control, because if I can't control them there's no sense in getting upset.

I can talk. I may sound terrible under stressful conditions or sometime when the moon is funny and my kidneys makes me hear funny, I'd rather not talk. My problem is: I don't know Sign language. Seems like the hearing world tells you to either speak/hear or watch/ASL. I'm caught between the two...

I saved myself time and trouble by telling him, "I can't turn it up. It's turned up all the way". They walk away with embarrassment like they wished they never said it. Just look at them in the eyes and say, " It's turned all the way up, whats next?

I will be laid off after 25 years at my company. I'm server-Profound hearing loss with strong hearing aids. I will need to withdraw all my 401K at this time. I understand I will have to pay taxes on the withdrawal as well as a 10% penalty fee. I've heard that the social security offices might be...

It's a hearing aid with two microphones. The main one in the front and another one in the back. The one in the back are faced behind. If the microphone in the back picks up sound BEFORE it hits the front microphone, then the hearing aid will know that the sound is coming front behind. The...

I know this is an old message but I'm wondering if I could discontinue my ISP and get a touchscreen phone that will allow me to connect to my iMac via touchscreen phone. I would like a voice plan so I could use webcaptel but I could do without voice plan to save $$$$. What are the capabilities...
