    County office and VP issue

    Yup I thought about what I did overstepping boundary. Personally, County goverment should be treated same as all level of Govt (Federal, State, County, and City) and County HR should have exact same requirement as Federal Govt related to ADA law. Guess what!! County offices are sitting on Large...

    County office and VP issue

    Remember that TTY are really obsolete and VP are very popular. I do know very few deaf still using TTY because they were unable to afford ISP or no ISP available in their area (Rural area). Mobile Phones with VP apps are godsend to use but it relies on good signal on location basis unless they...

    County office and VP issue

    Reba True. I AGREE that is hard to see him not getting VP. I agree that I put HR into defensive mode. I would own it up as my fault for screwing it up. HR should be the one who have information on ADA law. I believe IT made wrong assumption about VP as Captioned Video Screen. Actually, I...

    Best "alerting" systems.

    I use sonic alert and its more reliable and flashing sequence are noticeable than Alertmaster. When I moved into big home, I noticed that my Sonic alert had issue because house wire was more than 50 ft long and it tend to lose contact with receivers. Sometime receiver flickers for no reason. I...

    Hacking N5 CI rechargeable battery??

    It depends on individual insurance. In most cases, HR of Employer decide that. They do that to save money. I had an issue with Aenta insurance that they don't cover for DME like parts and battery. Sent from my SPH-L720 using AllDeaf App mobile app

    Pissed at Cochlear Americas over parts pricing

    Yes, that's how you feel about $40 microphone cover. I can compare Dr charging $200 for couple of asprins. So Basically, the cost of parts is exorbitant. It's wrong for them to charge so much for little things. I have two rechargeable batteries that last me all day too. I believe that they ran...

I was told to use my Home Insurance to cover...
