-- deaf not watching captions
Some deaf people do not watch captions even though
these are turned on the TV. Their reason is that
it is hard to follow the captions and the action
shown on the screen. This was posted on a tweet
today.
-- priority: hearing aid or social life
A social service agency refused to give a
deaf man $7,100 to allow him to purchase
a hearing aid, but gave him $10,600 to
spend on his social life needs. It didn't
happen in USA but in Australia. The
deaf man's family is angry about it
and would not touch a cent until
this issue is resolved.
-- Seattle could require captions on public TV sets
Seattle may require businesses and public facilities
to turn on their TV captions - if the city government
passes the bill. Hope it does.
