@judyca7 I understand your frustration with the public in general not getting how to communicate with us. I’m learning to advocate more for myself. For awhile my husband would say my wife has hearing loss but I’m saying it myself now. The other day at the initial hospital sign in I said I had hearing loss and got out my RemoteMic to hear better and he gave me a pager so I’d know when registration called my name. I was impressed. If I hadn’t told them I wouldn’t have known they had pagers. It would have been helpful to have a sign. The other way I advocate for myself is using the latest assisted listening devices. It’s like having my own wheel chair rather than try to find a venue or garden that provides one.
