no, i'ts not nice. infact, it's rude and uncalled for. why the need fora hearing dog?
It is very degrading of your boss to do that and u can file a discrimination complaint against him.
Where in the ADA documents that states such rudeness might not be nice
Actually, I told that person, the next time I come, I'll bring my hearing dog so the dog will nudge me when I'm being called from a distance. He never heard of a hearing dog and asked me if I really had one or if there's such thing. No, I don't have one but I could get one if it's that important to respond to a call from a short distance. My directional hearing really works, eliminating sounds from behind and I like that setting. I was wondering if I could find a dog that will recognize, "Turn your hearing aid up" and have the dog to run to his office and rub his butt on his carpet.
... My directional hearing really works, eliminating sounds from behind and I like that setting....
don't understand what you mean by the bolded text/ could you explain? thanks.
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 hearing aid will try to reduce background sounds like noise. If the sound reaches the front before it reaches the back, then the aid will know it's coming from the front and will not filter it.
Document what happend and file a complaint against your boss to his/her boss.
Try to get it resolved with the company first before running to nearest lawyer's office.....
Yes, because this isn't really so much an ADA issue, as simply an issue of a rude and insensitive boss.
Is it nice for a boss to tell you to turn your hearing aid up in front of workers. The workers laughed of course. That's embarrassing. Perhaps a hearing dog would help.
