Hey all, I made this blog so I could document my journey as a deaf person in a transitional phase in my life where I have to make some very tough choices. My self employed business of working on and fixing computers is just not enough income to cover my bills and other such needs. So somehow I have to come up with some other ways of earning income.
I went to a lot of corporate sites online and filled out apps and uploaded my resume. I went to uscellular.com, I went to Verizon, I went to Costco online, since a lot of physical locations managers are no longer a major part of the hiring process. A lot of it is done online and on a different level.
So I have started doing this and it was mentioned to me there is a case worker at the medical clinic I go to when I visit my General Practitioner. So I make an appointment to see this case worker, maybe he can give me some ideas on what to do. I believe it was a 60 minute session. I had notes I made, and a letter from my audiologist describing the level of hearing I currently have. I have a service dog, which I use. During the session I am explaining the severity of my hearing to him and he says "you seem to hear me just fine." He gave me some names of some organizations that might be able to help me and helped me apply/fill out forms for vocational rehabilitation.
so, that sort of sets the scene up for what is to come.
