That's just weird. I'm looking into going back to school, and if I want to have accommodations, I have to provide a copy of my audiogram as part of the application process. I can't imagine some bureaucratic douchebag refusing to give me my records.

I'm a Family Advocate and the founder of Georgia Family Rights, Inc. I work with families who have been falsely accused of child abuse.

OMG! If it wasn't available, I wouldn't bother to watch TV at all. We just changed from Comcast to Dish, and I've noticed that on Dish EVERYTHING is captioned, while Comcast has some channels that aren't. I've only used CC for about 5 years, so I never had experiences with it before that.

A tap is okay, stomping so it feels like I'm being set upon like a herd of water buffalo gets to me at times. :eek2: My mother is hard of hearing herself because of medication - she has tinnitus, and I understand that all that ringing can drive a person seriously batshit.

I was bullied all through elementary school, and my life outside of home was a literal living hell. I was very careful when my children were growing up to make sure that they were neither victims nor bullies. If I saw one of my former tormentors today, I would not even acknowledge their...

I was just about to suggest this! :cool2: Last week my son SHRIEKED in my ear while I was wearing my hearing aids, and I had to take them off for about 3 days. I just couldn't stand to wear them for a while. Definitely unpleasant. My mother is a SLP, and she's the one who explained the...

Not everywhere.....but at enough places...... Because you expressed a willingness to answer questions. Then people asked, and you refused to answer. Um... NO. But I spent all day today wearing $5500 hearing aids. The man is still fiddling with them to fix them so they can help me. I...

Ew. That is all.

I am a Family Advocate and work with families in Georgia who have been falsely accused of child abuse. False accusation happen far more often than most people think.

I use those little sticky rhinestone things that are sold to "bling" cell phones.

I'm hard of hearing.

I hope I'm not the only person here who remembers what it feels like to be 7? I just can't imagine fighting with my child over what my child wanted or didn't want attached to his or her body. Granted, I've never been in that position, either as child or parent.....and thank God for that.

Personally, I take a permissive stance on alcohol. The way I see it, if I say my child can have a drink, then that's my right. Also, if I tell another parent that giving my child a beer is okay, then that should be good enough. I really don't care what the law says (and I'm in Georgia), I'll...

The cop's refusal to communicate in writing remind me of the TSA guy at the airport refusing to do anything but SCREAM at me.

We always had a "family bed" when the kids were little. For a brand new little one, you might consider sleeping in a recliner with Baby in your arms. That's what I did for the first few months.

<<<<<<<hug>>>>>>>

No, I understood. But you mentioned alcoholics calling people and my BIL came to mind. If I were you, I wouldn't let people take advantage of me - just don't answer the door....

I think a CI takes away any residual hearing in the implanted ear.....

My husband's brother not too long ago got seriously tore up and call all the family and told them my husband was dead. But I digress. Why not just don't answer the door if you're not in the mood to lend? I decided long ago that just because someone's at the door doesn't mean you have to go...

I was bullied and abused at school. It's a terrible situation, but we don't know the whole story.
