AboutCordell Vail Expertise I would be very happy to try to answer any questions that you may have about things you can do as a hearing impaired person to find a good job or better your education. I have been working with the deaf since 1996. One of the greatest needs seems to be finding help with getting a better education and employment. To try to fill that need, started a FREE deaf job service web page at www.vcaa.com/deafnews/jobs. You can post your résumé there for free. I am also collecting deaf job information, educational opportunities and vocational financial assistance for the hearing impaired from every state and posting it on that web page. Because the ideal employment for some hearing impaired people would be to work at home, I am in the process of writing a book about that and I also post that information on the web page when ever I find it. There is no cost to use the information on the web page and I will be happy to try to answer your questions here as well.

Expert: Cordell Vail Date: 8/7/2006 Subject: Am I entitled?
Question I had meningitis when I was 18 and it left me 100% deaf in only one ear, I wonder if You know if I am entitled to some sort of hearing aid and If i can claim any sort of money?
Answer I am sorry that I am not qualified to give you advice on assistance. I have worked with deaf people for years but I do not know how they get assistance. I know that there are several government agencies that help the deaf and if you will contact them they could tell you. Usually they are called Health and Human Services in phone book under government listings. If you do a little phone calling I am sure you can find someone in a government agency that can answer that question for you.
