This is for sure! I work in a school as a teacher trainer. Even though I am performing at the top of the charts with my implant, I still have problems with synthetic speech. The announcements over the loudspeaker are not clear enough for me but I also know that they are not clear for the normal hearing people as well. Anyway, when I went to one of the assistant principals to ask what the announcement had been, he tried to send me off to my officemate to get the info from her. Finally, I had to tell the principal what happened and he stood up for me in front of the AP. The AP had also said that he shouldn't have to go accommodating each individual. By law, I am supposed to have the pertinent announcements written down for me so that I do not have to run around asking someone else to tell me what was said. That's just degrading. When the AP was told this, he replied that he told me that he would tap me on the shoulder to make sure I could lip read. Ok fine, but what does this have to do with announcements?? Some people just don't get it and never will. Living well and happy is the best revenge!! N24C 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 You know - this subject is a very important one and worth discussion. So far the comments have been excellent. I'm sure everyone has run into a similar situation and no matter how much we try to ignore the rudeness of others, it takes us back to the insecure moments of dealing with hearing loss before the CI. We are all very sensitive when it comes to that. I would never suggest to someone who wears glasses yet uses a magnifying glass on occasion that this is wrong. Yikes.. what difference does it make. For anyone who is using a CI and finds themself needing to lipread in noisy situations or requesting any other assistance, we don't need to feel ashamed. Lipreading is an art. A long time ago, I said that we should go to congress and have a day declared as " Deaf for a Day Day " where no one spoke, only moved their lips and no volume was allowed on televisions. I suggested that businesses conduct that day with earplugs. I wonder how long these people would last. Even if we did this though, I'm sure the message would be forgotten in just a few hours so I just think if the possibilities and smile. Even though the CI has made my life much easier, when I know that I'm going to be in a large noisy crowd that could present a test of my ability to hear I wear a button that says Please - I can hear you better when you Face Me.

The great irony in this repeated accusation from Sue is that I was actually defending Armour against her claims that any T3 medication was hard on the heart. When I questioned her about that, she started making suggestions about things I should do to insect life in my posterior. Yet, I am the one accused of rudeness. So, indeed, where were you when Armour was attacked, and the likes of me were left to defend it? Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
