For Naisho: When your HA/CI battery runs out

naisho said:

For deafs who had oral:
Let's say you don't have a backup battery and your HA or CI battery runs out.

Did you ever suddenly feel like using oral totally sucks?

I have this happen to me before. When my batteries die and instead of having to explain to hearing people why I went voice off, I feel like just saying "I don't feel like talking right now."

Why does it suck for you to have your batteries run out and no longer have access to sound? Even though you have fluent ASL, do you find yourself dependent on/in a jam without your HAs?


I'm curious about why you bolded that statement, because I thought that with ASL, you would just shift seamlessly from one mode to another and wouldn't experience that frustration you mention.

[nevermind: orig. question was relevant to another thread]

[Naisho explained that the other thread is only relevant to those who are oral-only, not for those who are also ASL users and moved my questions here. ]

dunno: I thought you were both an ASL user and oral, Naisho -- my mistake. Didn't realize you were oral-only. )

Still, I'm wondering if being both oral and asl-user makes a dead battery a non-issue.

That's weird... as if Grendel started a new thread....
... what's the point of this.??
