Hello everyone, I'm wondering what is the best from all Live Transcribe apps out there? Is there any app that can be used from lap top (for classes, conferences, and so on)? Any specific info and comparison between apps would be highly appreciated. I'm interested to go back to school (and if...

I had the same question. I am thinking to go back to school and I don't know what to do when professors speak with their masks covering their lips. I was wondering if Live Transcribe is helpful. I tried to download it on my lap-top, but to no avail. Does anyone know what's the best option...

My audiologist told me that my new hearing aids can be paired with Iphone. But I can't download Otticon On App on my Iphone cause I have an old model. The solution is to update my Iphone to IOS 9.3 and up, but that has become difficult also. I downloaded IOS 9.3.5 on my PC and when I try to...

I went to school while working and I had for four years a 13k loan. Now my loan has been reduced to 2500$ only and I hope to erase the whole amount in this month :) I am not sure what kind of education you might be thinking about (on what level?) but I've pasted an illuminating article on what...

I finally landed a job with the Department of Education, full time, permanent. They said one moment I will have to use phone too, but they will provide the appropriate accommodation. It's hard to have a good resume when you are hoh (since a very few employers use to hire ppl with impaired...

Same condition with me. For emigrants is much worse not being able to hear in the US. Anyway, we should get used with the idea that we are not the center of the world and what we desire for the world means nothing. We have to try to improve our lives, but first of all we have to be patient...

This British guy in US would have been already dead. But in Germany (one of the few countries in the world where order is strong) police are taught neither to punish you on site, nor to take revenge on you. He beats the police and the police after the incident ask him how he feels. In the US...

You may get a kiss from other members in this forum. This is how it goes :kiss:

I am a janitor (deafies are supposed to be good in that position). I have been storage assistant and have worked temporarily for the government, through some programs for disabled students. I look forward to apply for some PHD (I won't let them know I can't hear), cause intellectual life...

13 years have passed, I never found a good position and I have been isolated from ppl, cause I am given jobs where interaction is not necessary. When I have free time I write (and I hope one day to see money coming from my creativity :) I really wish you were more lucky than me with career and...

I appeared with hearing loss when I turned 20. Had I appeared with hearing loss when I turned 18, I would have been more lucky cause I would chose dentistry (abroad you don't need BA prior you chose medical school and, definitely, you aren't going to pay 200k to become a dentist) or any other...

Dentist. I am the deaf one, but I have the impression dentists never listen to me.... they just put you fill a form and expect you open your mouth. If you want to speak, they know already what you have to say. Hence, I find dentistry a good fit for deaf people.

I see that this website is not updated, the last 1 month. Any other website where deafies/hoh can look for jobs?

more recent stats from Gallaudet. http://www.disabilitycompendium.org/statistics/employment/2-3-civilians-with-hearing-disabilities-ages-18-64-living-in-the-community-for-the-u-s-

They helped me with an internship too, but just for 4 months :)

Seems helpful...

Only the rent is cheaper, one bedroom apartment 900$. When they make you a janitor, cause that is what deafies are supposed to be good at (in my company we are three deafies, and my two MA degrees did not enable me land another job), 900$ rent sounds very expensive. You will have to work...

I have spent 40k in US education and the only thing I hope now is to disappear from here and find a cheap place, cause being underemployed or doing jobs for 10$ an hour in NY is considered a kind of punishment... you will have to share your apartment or hold two jobs (and, definitely, you should...

I have been in 7 interviews, none called back. I guess employers prefer other kinds of disabilities to hearing loss. Communication is a must and poor verbal skills seem to annul all other achievements of a job candidate. Some deaf friends fill IT and on-line positions (working like 10 hours a...

Thank you! If I have any news, I will update this thread.
