EVIDENCE of being deaf with Hearing Aid device

[Cloggy]

.. CI doesnt prove me anything yet....

CI... why would you bring that up in this thread?

That is where you are just being absurd.

Can you work as a bank teller? Can you work the cash register at Wal-Mart? Can you take orders up front at McDonald's?

The above are simple jobs that doesn't require extensive education yet we deaf people CANNOT have these jobs simply because they can't communicate orally with hearing people. Heck, even with all the tricks I learned all my life, I CAN'T do those types of work.

When you become honest with yourself and accept that deafness is a handicap AND we can't do anything except hear. That's the truth I'm trying to preach.

I hate to kill your win fragmenter but I work at mcdonalds and do work as the order taker at times when we need a person there. You need to realize not all people can be easily "handicapped" with deafness. I know for real that deaf people can do anything that a hearing person can do except hear. BS about us not being able to do those works because you apparently never done them. And where in the world should we accept the "handicap" statement when we all know its not a "handicap" or a "disability", but as a difference.

DEAFNESS IS A DIFFERENCE THAT IS UNIQUE NOT A HANDICAP OR DISABILITY!!!

Fragmenter you are down shooting others that work at these companies so now shut the stupidity of whining up. I love my job at mcdonalds and other of my deaf friends work at resturants too.

oh, oy oy! this really takes the cake!

Uh, my fiancee was hired at McDonald's partially because she was deaf. They have a fairly high number of deaf customers and they didn't want to go through the hassle of writing everything too. So they hired my fiancee. She was also hired for other reasons too, of course.

I hate to break your little winning streak fragmenter, but I work at Mcdonalds.
I love working there and there are days that I am needed at the front to take orders and a lot more and may not always understand them but I get help.

DEAFNESS IS NOT A HANDICAP OR DISABILITY BUT YET IT IS A UNIQUE DIFFERENCE FOR US!!!!!!!!!!

Calling Deafness a handicap is like tell others that a blind person cant manage to walk alone even if they have a cane to help them. We have sign language and as a matter of fact I think others here might agree I am right that our deafness is not a handicap or disability because it only disables our hearing. How can that handicap us when we have eyes, hands and a mouth, our voices might not always work nor may some of us use them. And again I will state that DEAFNESS IS A UNIQUE DISABILITY.

At first you're wrong, then you're right.

Way to go!

deaf people can do anything that a hearing person can do except hear.

and that is the CRUX of their disability. Not being able to hear IS disability.

Fuzzy

 

[Audiofuzzy]

You don't have to be a teller to work at a bank, you don't have to be a cashier at Wal-Mart to work there, and you don't have to take orders at the Drive-Thru to work at McDonald's.

No, but if they need someone SPECIFICALLY for this you (the deaf) are out...

Fuzzy

 

[deafmedicalpoet]

oh you say uh?

and that is the CRUX of their disability. Not being able to hear IS disability.

Fuzzy

Fuzzy did I just see you take my words out of contents and by the way the way you look at your deafness is your way but some state its not a handicap nor a disability. Really reread my post and think uh?

I dont call my Cerebral Palsy I have a disability but I view it as a unique difference in my life.

[deafmedicalpoet]

uh??

No, but if they need someone SPECIFICALLY for this you (the deaf) are out...

Fuzzy

Oh really?? who says? you?? its discrimination if people dont give us the fair right to have a job just the same as a hearing person, I mean our ADA laws will not allow us to not get jobs, because we can really benefit their work environment a dreat deal..

Ever think of that?? Really you need to see that!!

CP and working at McDonalds. I'm impressed.

I thought handicap means to reduces the amount of things that we can't do, but how is it that deafness being a handicap when we could do almost anything expect to hear?...I think it should be " deafness is a disability " instead of a handicap...

I don't think it as a discrimination even my own father thinks I can't do many things, often I hear him say " you can't do this because you can't hear " and the sad part is, he hasn't given me that chance to see if I could actually do the job!

It's ALL about giving every deaf person (s) a chance to see if they could actually do the job, rather than thinking they can't do it...

You're right about that not being discrimination. It's called prejudice, or pre-judging.

She does a wonderful job there. She is proof that she can be deaf and have CP and work at McDonald's, and she's working towards being a computer hardware technician in college.

I am 100% sure she can be a good computer tech. She has one "normal" hand and can walk normally, so she's not totally paralyzed by her CP. Her counselor and head interpreter keep telling her deaf people can't be a computer tech, but the instructors and I don't see any reason why she couldn't. She's the first deaf person to go for that at our college.

I agree with you there.

Huh? You DO need to say more because this post doesn't make any sense.

thanks

You are surprised uh? everyone is when a person has ataxic spastic hemiplegia, RADS, type 2 diabetes, seizure issues, ADHD and Autism works at Mcdonalds and is deaf too.

Ataxic Spastic Hemipelgia is the kind of Cerebral Palsy I have. In short definition means unbalanced weight on each side plus gets muscle spasm a lot (which I can tell you now is just as painful as either having a surgery or giving birth to a baby, plus last up to 3 hours).Hemiplegia is meaning one side of the body (its my right side that is affected, my left side is normal) RADS is a similair problem to asthma.

I am the only one at my work to have all these problems and I do great.

..... everyone is when a person has ataxic spasmatic hemiplegia, RADS, type 2 diabetes, seizure issues, ADHD and Autism works at Mcdonalds and is deaf too.....

I am getting more and more impressed.

 

[deafmedicalpoet]

oh yeah

I am getting more and more impressed.

really? I am a poet at heart and wrote a lot of great poems some even won awards, I am starting children's books. I do alot of drawing and scuplting plus in summer I do chalk murals. I do digital photography and a bit more. What else do you want me to impress you with??

websites? photo shoots?? artwork?

And I dont need to worry about having to lug a CI around to do all these impressive things!! I may have a HA but it barely does anything for me.

PS remmy Cloggy that Dan is my fiance ok?

Now you see my bold quote from Harlen Lane. Thats what I meant by this, people should change their attitude and accept to learn ASL, no matter whether you like it or not. Their parents are not deaf and need to be openminded about their Deaf children's alternatives and Deaf Literature and many more that relates in ASL before forcing or conforming them because they are ignorant and believe everything that audists and CI radical people say while they dont have very positive outlooks that we Deaf people can do anything except hear that involves ASL itself. Scoffs

You are missing my point here SM. Children, deaf and hearing, need to learn the language of their family. To generelize things, lets say most hearing parents of deaf children use English. It is difficult for adults to learn a new language. Children need accurate role models for their family language. Their family language is NOT ASL.

Why would you want deaf children to struggle with learning ASL from hearing people who often are not good models of ASL?

no language in = no language out
