Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 People, ALL people, hearing or deaf need to remember SAFETY around trains. When I was growing up we were taught to STOP, LOOK< and LISTEN. Now if you're deaf, the STOP and LOOK will be sufficient. You don't cross a street without looking both ways if you have any sense about you at all. Why would you cross a train track without this. What I fail to understand is why anyone doesnt FEEL the vibration of an oncoming train. I can feel the vibration of my lawnmower, my vaccuum cleaner, and my dishwasher. And I don't have my processor turne don when I mow the lawn or vac the rug. Dishwasher is pretty quiet. People are just not PAYING ATTENTION to what they are doing, and some of them die because of it. The Original Speaking for myself, there are days that I really need the silence, so I don't use my processor. Trying to keep up with everything is sometimes so stressful, I'll tell my husband it is a 'no hearing apparatus' day for me. I really do love my CI 95% of the time. On 5% of my days, Silence is Golden. Ignorance is bliss. I was also very saddened to learn of Miss Deaf Texas being hit by a train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
