One question, why would a hearing impaired person need a hearing dog if they are not low vision nor blind? Sorry if I offend anyone, but I don't understand why one would need a dog in a restaurant?

most likely because that person has emotional/anxiety issue due to late-deafness.

Sometimes it's not just the restaurant visit itself but the trip to and from the restaurant that a person might feel requires the dog's assistance.

ih? as in "I"?

I just asked my hearing colleague and he said "ee-mahm" :dizzy:

According to the dictionary, it's a short i, not long i "I".

Short i sound like "in".

Many people do pronounce it "ee-mam" and "ee-man" but that doesn't mean it's correct.

Hearing people make lots of pronunciation mistakes. :lol:

There are also regional pronunciations that differ.

ah.... that's probably what he said - "in-mahm"... I am not able to discern the subtle difference.

Not "in-mahm"--it's "ih-mahm."

The "in" was just to give an example of what the "i" sounded like.

Ah, that would explain it. The only hearing dogs I've met are for household chores and such.

Or do the opposite.

Hold an "eat-in."

Contact lots of people who use service dogs.

Call the restaurant for reservations for a large group (don't mention the dogs).

Put an FYI bug in a reporter's ear.

The group, with dogs, show up for the dinner.

Big scene, lots of press. :D

I love this idea....I would SO DO IT!!!!!!!
 
How would the people in a Muslim country feel if a restaurant owned by Americans allowed people to bring their service dogs in?

I just read a blog about how this girl nearly got hit by a police car because she didn't hear the siren. She later wondered if she is losing more of her hearing and mentioned that she was realized how much she relies on her ears (with HAs, she is already deaf) for unexpected suprises like that police car. I thinking that some people are so new to the deaf world that they are not used to depend on their eyes yet. They forget. I think cases like this, they ought to have a dog to alert them in situations like this.

I suppose they would feel the same as they are in this story here. They might burn down the place, too. :lol:

Actually, the American owner over there probably wouldn't be allowed to have such a place in the first place.

Would they have service dogs if they consider them unclean?

I have to take my dog with me as he cry when left at home and the people upstairs complain about. The people upstairs has already made a complaint to the trustees at my condo! This is why I bring my dog to a restaurant.
And I was out shopping and I bring my dog with me so people will know I am HOH and they will not run their cart into me. People are very rude around here, if you do not move when they want pass you in a store they will run you down with their shopping cart. I got feed up with happening . I can't hear a person and they think I am rude for not moving and hit me with shopping cart. This has not happen anymore when I bring my hearing dog.
Maybe people are not that rude where you live but they are where I live.

So, it would be hypocritical for a Jew to manage local non-kosher businesses? There's a few out there. I am looking at you, McDonald's.

Wouldn't really matter because the imans, at least in Canada, issued service animals be allowed in place of businesses. But we still have problem with taxi-drivers, so not everyone listen to the imans.

Not all Jewish people are Kosher. We did not grow up Kosher. I know some Jewish people that would not work in non Kosher restaurant. My mother's brother had store and it was Kosher.

I'm guessing that service dogs aren't popular in Muslim countries.
