[nfb-db] Cardtronics Question

[Delcenia Brown]

Hello Eric,

I am glad you have enjoyed your first workshop!

I hope I have understood your question correctly. Are you asking how does a 
personwearing a hearing aid listen at the general session?

I have very little hearing in my right ear and I wear a hearing aid in my 
left ear. One can request to use the wireless fm system while at the 
convention.  They require a small deposit to hold until you return the 
receiver after  you are finish attending what you planned to attend. I 
picked up the fm system on Tuesday and did not return it until the banquet 
was over, At this time they return my deposit.  I was able to use the 
hearing device (FM system) during the workshop, deaf blind seminar  and all 
general session and banquet.  The NFB will provide ear bugs, of course a 
person with a hearing aid could not use. I usually carry my own headphones.

The headphones that I carry go with my pocket talker.  A pocket talker is 
not wireless. It comes with a 15 feet cord with microphone attached to the 
receiver with headphones. I wear the headphone and others with speak into 
the microphone. The pocket talker is good for one on one conversation or a 
small group meeting.

I hope this answer your question. Good luck!
Delcenia

I enjoyed my 1st Deaf-Blind Division workshop "I CAN'T HEAR THE WHISPERS! 
(SSP) WORKSHOP"
I'm the father of 2 blind teens with more recent hearing loss, thus I'm a 
relative newbie to the hearing component of the equation - therefore please 
forgive me if the answer to this question is obvious.
After listening to the Cardtronics presentation during the general session 
am wondering if anyone could clarify how the voice component of the ATMs 
will be accessed by blind individuals with hearing aids.
Thanks for clarifications in advance,
Sincerely,
Eric Vasiliauskas
