I can't believe I haven't posted yet. This is me and my twin brother about 14-15 years ago: And no, we haven't changed a bit so you don't even need a recent picture! :P

Yeah, that's right. The University didn't put forward nearly enough accomodations for me, and most of the time didn't even realise that I couldn't hear. I will make it very clear that I will need extra accomodations this year. That's in America, right? I am not sure all Universities here...

Yeah, I think that's right. I have/had a written notetaker who then transcribes it later, I don't see the notes during the lecture, I am concentrating on listening and lipreading the lecturer, so I get the emailed to me.

Supposedly notetakers in every lecture and a personal loop system (where the lecturer wears the microphone and I wear the reciever)

I imagine it's more common in America? May be a long way to travel to attend University next year :P
