Deaf: Special Phone and their Relay Server!

I just wrote another blog about What kind of phone or phone server do you use? on my other blog for the deaf. Yes, I do have another blog for the deaf that is A Heart for the Deaf. I don't write much on that compared to this BoldLion's blog.

I would encourage you all to read that blog that I just wrote. Please do try to understand from us, deaf how I had been dealing with phone problem. I do hope that my deaf friends will comment on that blog too how they too had been dealing with phone problem. I am looking forward to learn more from them.

I would also encourage you all to use relay when you are calling your deaf friends or clients. We do need you all to to dial their special relay phone number first before dialing their phone number. That will help us a lot in a great deal and cut down a lot of frustration and redheaded hot temper too.

I shouldn't be having redheaded hot temper, but I do confess that I did when I am facing a lot of phone problem too. I know that isn't Christ-Like of me. Please do help us not to lose redheaded hot temper. Please do forgive me.

Now, I do know that some of their phone server is automated that you don't have to dial relay server phone number first. But that isn't true for every case. That does vary to what kind of phone and phone server they do have. When I do get my CapTel 800i, you will not need to dial relay phone number because that will be automated.

If your hard of hearing or oral educated deaf friend, like me, does use CapTel phone, please don't talk way too fast for them because it doesn't caption that fast on their CapTel phone as fast as you are talking.

I do believe that this will encourage one another when you do call your deaf / hard of hearing friends in the right way.

If you do have a friend who is hard of hearing or does have hearing problem and a lot of problem understanding on the phone, and I would encourage you all to tell your friend about this wonderful CapTel phone. This CapTel phone is made for us oral educated deaf and for hard of hearing. I am so thankful for this wonderful technology too. The Lord is so good.

Here is what I wrote to Wilson Daily Times and someone edited it for me.

Please pray for the Deaf School in NC!

Some of you know that I was born deaf in 1964 due to German Measles. I am oral educated (can talk) which I am very thankful for. I didn't learned to sign until 2003 because I was so hardheaded and didn't want to sign. Now, I do sign for the deaf people. On the other hand, I am not that fluent at it, but I still am learning more as I sign with deaf people.

I just want to write this blog because I am concerned that the State of NC want to close both deaf schools in NC. One here in Wilson (ENCSD) and other is Morganton (western part of the state). Both of this schools is not an oral school for the deaf, like the one I went to in St. Louis, Mo. I am grateful for these two deaf schools that can teach deaf children to learn to read, write and many more.

State of NC think that deaf kids can go to public school or have them to go to the Governer Morehead that is for the blind. Governer Morehead school aren't equip for the deaf but equip for the blind. There are some deaf there, if I am told correctly.

Public school aren't equip to educated deaf children who only sign and doesn't talk at all. We can't put deaf kids in public school at all. They will not be able to learn there with normal kids who can talk.

Please do pray that we the deaf people will win the case to keep both deaf school open. Also visit my other blog that is A Heart for the Deaf. I do have a lot of posting about what is going on with the link to Wilson Daily Times. Take your time to read them and pray for them.

Education is very important. We can't afford to cut the budget of education like this at all.

A Heart for the Deaf,
