Hi

How to make the move from oral with sign child to sign only adlut. My reasons are as follow:

1 poor lipreading skills

2 the new zealand health system took my hearing aids away so what I can hear is limited the new audi that the system is funding is a pain to say the least:roll:

3 listening takes a lot of enery as I other condions including cerebral palsy, depression, pstd

4 sick of being told that i dont sound deaf

5 tired of test after test to just be they are not the same

please help im at my wits end
 
I don't understand why they took away your hearing aids?
 
Are you saying that you are in jail, prison or at home where you can not go out that your hearing aids are taken away from you? I guess that you are having problem with hearing people who work with you trying to test you and think that you can hear but you can not hear. You were upset about the kind of conditions that is happening on you for being Deaf and handicapped. Am I right? Also I don't understand what you mean by oral to sign language child to sign language adult. you have to give me clarification on what you mean by that. I meant to say that you are talking about yourself or someone who is oral but graduate to sign language from child to Adult, is that what you mean? :confused:

Basically in a universal health care system, the government rather than your personal physician decides what sort of medical care you're eligible to receive. If the government deems certain benefits "too expensive" or otherwise not worthwhile (such as costly life-extending treatments for an elderly person) then you'll be denied those benefits regardless of how you or your doctor feels about it. It's a horrible system that's failed to one extent or another everywhere it's been implemented, and I hope to God that Obama fails in his plans to bring such a system to America.

I only want to know the actual, concrete, literal reason he had hearing aids taken away.

I understand Mountain Man that you don't like socialized medicine as you have now told me twice.

If we could, the rest of us asking would like the OP to tell us the reason. :wave:
 
State pays for hearing aids. Last time I went to my audi he took my hearing aids from me. State funded heath systems don't work they are painly hard to work with. I have an speak e-z body worn aid that I own the microphone doesn't work. The other problems with the body worn aid is that the volumle control are on the bottom of the aid and that it uses 4 tiple a batterys and if I want to able to hear I will be going though battery like theres no tommorrow.

My question is how do I go from day to day oral dealing with people to only dealing with people in ASL

I have an audio processing disorder and tinntus so badly that at times I'm profoundly deaf and I have a testable hearing loss of 20% and my ears are non stop ringing and sore. the eardrums them selfs are painfall and fell blocked the audi says they are are not. :liar:

First you need to move to the United States.

New Zealand uses NZSL and not ASL.

Are you saying that your hearing aids is a loaner (borrowed?). if it is national healthcare, I suppose they do treat it as it is theirs. Although the stuffs we get that is funded by the gov't is ours to keep so I don't know if it works the same way where you live.

Are you sure he didn't take it because it need to be fix? Sometimes I have go for days without a hearing aids because it is being fix. Maybe you misunderstood what's going on.

I am not sure if you are in prison but someone mentioned prison. Is it because they don't allow any electronic devices?

But yeah, learning sign languages is cheaper and easier to deal with. So I agree with you.

I have cerebral pasly as well. So I need to use a one handed sign laugage. ASL has a one handed abc so I spell out what I need to say in Asl. NZSL is two handed and I only have use of one hand

I can't help that. You won't be understood, so you might as well keep up your speech skills.

Once you had them, and you did say people say you have good speech, you only need receptive sign if you are truly too deaf to hear and you can't read lips.
 
I remember when I was in school, I did have an FM system specifically for schooling. It wasn't mine at all.

So I wonder how your country treat hearing aids. Do they let you keep it or borrow it?

Yeah, kind of like what the HMO's and PPO's are doing here in America! And we pay them to do it.:roll:
 
I don't really like insurances either... but I can't understand the life of me why doctors will refuse to treat you because your insurance told them no? if you want to pay big money, then give it to them.

My only concern with the gov't is that they will be forced to control the pricing of healthcare (or cost of living), which means medical factory workers will be paid less (you gotta do what you can to control the pricing of healthcare), wealthy will receive less (after taxes on businesses and take-home), etc.

and it would like you can't climb up the ladder for better treatment where the gov't feel it is not neccessary. Or a marxism setting.. it gets nowhere. Same thing day in and day out.

Sure people have the option of paying out of pocket for health care the insurance company denies, but the majority of people who are enrolled in HMOs and PPOs are enrolled in those programs because they are lower income. So they not only can't afford fee for service insurance, they can't afford to pay out of pocket for medical costs, either. They kind of have people over a barrel.

The whole purpose behind the HMO and the PPO was cost effectiveness. The reason that the programs became so popular was because they advertised themselves as being a way to contain the rising cost of health care. It didn't work.
