How can I tell if I have hearing loss?

Can I get approved for disability even though I just recently got diagnosed?

With diabetes and degenerative disk disease

If you are disabled, what activities do you engage in?

If you are on Disability, whether it's physical/ mental/ health related, what activities do you find yourself engaging in during the week? I'm on a fixed income and find it hard at times.

How do I spell relief?

Taking out my hearing aids after a long day

Serious question: How do blind people know where to find the braille?

Do you have a physical or mental disability?
