Well, in my mom case, she thought My sister and I wouldn't need it because she felt hearing aids and speech therapy would take care of communication issues. Because we were severe hard-of-hearing in both ears, We were communicating with her ok with the help of hearing aids but it was very hard. I am not profound deaf but it sure does sound like I am without my hearing aids. I am not sure how many people understand what it is like to be severe hard of hearing who depend on hearing aids without sign languages. it seem to me that most people here are profound deaf I can see how difficult it is to communicate with very little sounds. but for me, I had alot access to sounds from my hearing aids, but I just can't make out the words because of the softer sounds (I don't have auditory process disorder because I can pick up words if I can hear it clearly like "Dad")
But that's what happen when my mother depend on technologies too much to solve all her problems.
