Hearing Information

www.usanetsol.com asked:


Basically, The traffic light was green, the pedestrian tried to cross the road but I didn’t stop. The officer pulled me over and gave me a citation. Now, I lost the hearing letter so I need to find out when and where I see the magistrate.

Does anyone know? The citation was somewhere around Worcester, MA. Thank you.

I really love acting, in spite of the fact that it is a difficult and cutthroat industry, but I think I have the right kind of temperament for it. I have thick skin, and I’m dedicated to what I love.

I also suffer from a hearing loss, and I’ve been mainstreamed (I’ve gone to a public non-deaf specified school, no deaf/hearing impaired only classes or support groups). I really want to act, but I’m unsure if I will only be able to the special tv episoide as the “deaf girl” (if that, because I don’t know ASL, don’t idenfity w/ deaf culture). I want to do work in this industry becasuse I love it, so how would I overcome typecasting, and be able to do the diffrent roles I want to? (The difficulty of getting a job in the first place put aside). When I say diffrent, I would like to know how I could get non-deaf/hearing impaired character roles, since (obviously) there is more roles under that out there.

Please help, I really am passionate about this, and I want to be an ACTRESS, not just a tv role whenever a girl from a hearing impaired family gets killed on law and order. I’m very serious about this!! I have an appointment set up w/ the ear doctor to see if I can get smaller hearing aids, so that it’ll be less of a obstacle to overcome.

BTW, I suffer from moderatly severe hearing loss, and the damage is in the nerve endings of my ear - meaning that it could only be fixed w/ stem cells.

I have my first audiology appointment on the 4th and I’m nervous about hearing what I’ve already known all along. The nature of my job required that I use headphones, so I know it’s becaue of that, and I will get compensated accordingly, but I wonder if my hearing loss will only get worse, or if it will stay at what it is. What kind of hearing aid did you use? Any suggestions for the future? (I don’t listen to loud music, in fact, I prefer silence =)
