Kateweb, it took me about two hours to create a transcript of that video. A simple thank you would be nice.

You can be tried twice for the same murder, but only if it has federal interest. You can be tried once in state courts and once in federal courts, however, the ammount of red tape to go through to try someone twice is so cumbersome, it is very, very rare. One man in Texas was tried for the...

Re: Re: Trande [(Trade)] your TTY for a CapTel First of all, I'm not a girl. I'm a guy. Second of all, how quick it would take if you get the captel phone depends on your telecommunications access program. Contact them, for more information. Third of all, with which VRS did you apply for...

Deaf Rehab What, that it doesn't exist? You should still teach people to communicate in a visual medium. There is life after Deaf. Speech therapy, Cued Speech, Sign Language, and written English should all be combined in one's rehabilitation.

HA Video Transcript (Male Voice) It's easy to take sound for granted, until you lose it, due to a serious hearing disorder. Thankfully this tiny hearing aid brings back the music. (Clip of Beethoven's 5th symphony) (Electronic music plays throughout) Loss of hearing causes a serious handicap...

That's exactly right. One of my friends is Deaf, and she has a Hearing nephew. He's only 2 years old, and he can communicate very, very well in sign. What's wrong with raising a Deaf child the same way?

That video is really cool. I really liked it, because of the content. It shows how an adult can benefit from a CI to really improve life. One thing I didn't like was the fact that the doctor neither signed nor used Cued Speech. I understand he is a doctor, but if he is treating so many Deaf...

Stupid STUPID! You need to give the baby a form a visual communication. If you want the baby to grow up in the Hearing world, fine, but teach the baby something. Don't depend on the cochlear implants for everything. What if his auditory nerve goes bad. Are you gonna' give him an auditory...

Trade in your TTY for CapTel Well, I'll PM you, but I'll also post the information here, for everyone to see. Trading in your TTY (Teletypewriter)/VCO (Voice-Carry-Over) for a CapTel (Captioned Telephone) is easy. Contact your telecommunications access program for more information. If you do not...

Boom Car Actually, that's not how the CI (Cochlear Implant) works. The CI does not depend on the "good hair" inside the the cochlea. The CI depends on the auditory nerve that connects the cochlea to the brain. The is designed with people with non-fuctioning coclear hairs in mind. That's right...

Inner Ear Hearing Loss Oh, so it actually has no use for someone who is stone deaf, due to hair loss in the cochlea or a malfunctioning auditory nerve, right? Well, I understand how it would make the sounds louder to hear them, but I don't understand how it would make them clearer to understand...

Wow, I watched the video. That was a lot of good information, but I don't understand how that's supposed to work for people who have lost the hair in their inner ear (very common) or who do not have a working auditory nerve (not so common).

I have a Hearing Blind friend, that watches a little too much TV. Anyway, I asked him, "Nader, why do you always watch Sanford and Son and all those old shows on Nick at Nite, TV Land and Me TV. Isn't that boring?" "Well, Taric, I don't know what the new shows look like, but I saw at least a few...

DeafBlind TV I was talking about TV for DeafBlind with a Hard-of-Hearing/Sighted friend of mine. I figured that any TV programs broadcast verbatim, simulcast over the radio, could be DeafBlind accessible, as long program has closed captions. By the way, how do you watch TV? Do you listen to...

Collated Text If your concerned about UAs (User Agents), such as screen readers, or dynamic braille displays, being able to diplay closed captions, create a collated text transcript. Here's an example of a collated text transcript of a clip from "The Lion King" (available at [DVS]). Note that...

Access My main reason for captions is to make VLogs accessible to people with disabilities. For example, a Blind, DeafBlind, or Dyslexic person may find it difficult or impossible understand a VLog with open captions, or no captions at all. Open captions do not help, because the information is...

Speech Therapy You're right, that statement may be hard to approach. However, you could go about it a completly different way. Many Deaf people know absolutely nothing about Cued Speech. One of my Hard-of-Hearing friends was absolutely shocked, when he saw it for the first time. At first, he...

Post-Implantation Education This education is easily available. First of all, many ESL (English as a Second Language) are easily available at any college, and a growing number of ESL classes are free. Your local government, public health department, department of education or school district can...

Enjoy! I do enjoy! Wow, I love your videos! Thanks!

Vanity You're right that there is a vanity aspect, but it's an improvement aspect as well. For example, some of my Hard-of-Hearing friends would like a life without buying batteries or having to take a hearing aid on and off. Only one of my friends has a rechargable processor, and it's only...
