to<BR>present at the DB-Devision meeting. Janice: can you please add me

Anjelina, Scot has some good point. I was only<BR>> going
to add that maybe you should have the blind services evaluate you
on<BR>><BR>> mobility and hopefully the mobility instructor can tell
the agency whether<BR>><BR>> or not you can safely cross alone or
need aids aor assistence. Maybe a<BR>> guide dog will
help.<BR>> All these things can be worked out with counselor.<BR>> Well,
let us know how you do.<BR>> Hope you have a wonderful Sunday.

welcome to the list.<BR>> There are a few things that come to mind,
though what those are<BR>> depends on the circumstances of the
crossing. For example, when you<BR>> are at a street where there is
light traffic and no stop sign, you may<BR>> be able to compensate by
turning your left ear to face the right side<BR>> quickly and then
back. Obviously, if the sound becomes louder in your<BR>> left ear
when you turn toward it, the vehicle is on your right side.<BR>>
Granted, this assumes the cars are moving more slowly since you're
on<BR>> a street corner with less traffic.<BR>> For more busy
intersections, you may find that due to your slight<BR>> hearing
loss, you will still be able to detect surges in traffic, so<BR>>
this may not be such an issue. Though with surges, you may also
find<BR>> the same method above will be enough to get you to where
you need to<BR>> go relatively safely. However, I'd recommend before
just using this<BR>> method, that you go with someone who has enough
hearing or vision to<BR>> the corners you frequent and try to
determine whether you think a<BR>> crossing is safe or not.<BR>>
I'm sure others can give you some tips and tricks as well, these
are<BR>> just some inicial thoughts.<BR>><BR>> Happy
Saturday!<BR>> Scott<BR>><BR>> On 4/17/15, Anjelina via nfb-db
