Hi Julie,

Yes to the ADA and they are in compliance because they have those stupid headphones with earplugs.
You can only educate so much on the types of hearing loss. I think he thinks it’s just me or a handful of people with hearing loss in the area. People understand culturally Deaf better than our whole gray area of loss. That is why I use the term deaf (a discussion we have had here) so often as I navigate through life. Many saw the movie Coda and the one about the drummer which was wonderful but doesn’t help “us”. We have tv series like Little People and The Housewives of whatever state. I would love to see a series or documentary about “us”. We would have to come up with a name for it.

As an aside…I helped my son and daughter-in-law with a 2 day garage sale this weekend and forgot to bring my “I read lips” button. Boy, was that hard. Good thing one or both of them were there all the time with all these people milling around, heads down and turned sideways. It was also posted on Facebook Marketplace so you can imagine the number of people. I was the money holder making change and keeping track of our stuff and their stuff in a notebook. Really hit home with my daughter in law how difficult it was for me. But wow, over 2 grand!
That’s it from me on a busy beautiful Sunday visiting in Orlando.
