Had to read this several times. Wasn't sure I was reading it correctly.
Amplification is not intended to benefit the rest of the world. It is intended to benefit the wearer. If the wearer does not increase their ability to perceive and discriminate sound through amplification, then the chance is very great that it will only cause more confusion and misunderstanding.
Were it not for precedent lawsuits, the ADA would not exist, and if it were not for lawsuits filed under the ADA it would never be enforced. Sounds like you have had a bad experience with attorneys and are projecting.
If those "others" you speak of need to see some sort of amplification devise being worn before they are convinced that the deaf person is making an effort are very misquided and ill informed. An FM system can't correct that.:roll:
