Hi Everyone
I'm following up on previous messages about a list for people who are blind
and also have a hearing impairment. Thanks to those who contacted me offlist
expressing their interest in such a list.
I have now set up a list on Freelists called Bhi-L. You're welcome to
subscribe to it by sending a message to bhi-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with
the word Subscribe in the subject line. You should receive an email asking
you to confirm your subscription, and then you'll receive a Welcome email
with a bit of general information. I'm the list administrator, but Freelists
have apparently made changes that prevent administrators from manually
subscribing people, so you will need to subscribe to the list yourself.
Please understand that this list isn't intended to duplicate or replace
other lists that focus on the needs and experiences of people who identify
as deafblind (in the sense that they have no usable hearing). There seems to
be a growing number of people who are blind and also have a hearing
impairment that benefits from using a hearing aid or cochlear implant, and
there doesn't seem to be an existing list where these topics can be suitably
discussed in detail. Hence Bhi-L.
Please feel free to subscribe or forward the subscription information to
anyone you think may be interested. And please also contact me if you have
any questions or if you encounter problems subscribing to or using the list.
Cheers
Bruce
