My everyday problem

Everyone has their individual problems they face everyday. One of theproblems that I have is communication since I’m hearing impaired

Solution Sources

Many solutions can be found simply using the internet

The internet would be the fastest way to find any solution

Solution information can be found using a wide variety of search engines, social networking sites, and government sites

The information I will be looking for mainly will be any type of technology that will assist me in effectively communicating with everyone

I will also examine other people’s solutions with the same problem to see if they will work for me

When evaluating information that you have researched, be sure to follow these points:

① Always check the date the information was published. You want to make sureyou have the most current information.

② You also want to make sure the information source is real, there are many sitesthat people publish false information.

③ Try to stay focused on the specific thing you are seeking information on beforemoving on to the next thing.

Possible solutionsFor phone communication there are a few alternatives:1. Relay service - You type to a 3rd person while that person talks to the other party2. SMS/Email – Text messaging and email are my personal preferred method of communication with everyone3. Videophone – While this technology isn’t very common yet, it is growing more everyday

For in person communication:1. Interpreters – Interpreters work very well when there will be various speaker or in a large group2. Reading Lips – This is my preferred way of communicating effectively with non

hearing impaired persons

Conclusion
