I need some help for my sister in law.  She is deaf in both ears and wears hearing aids.  She finally went to a support group and guess what?  She can't hear what they are saying so therefore can't take notes or participate at all.  This is upsetting to her.  I wonder if you ever had a problem like this in all the time you have been doing this.  I recommended the head person wear a head mike but she said that would be fine but when others speak, she can't hear them either.  She can hear you or me face to face but in a big room with other noises its impossible.  I can't believe this happened to her.  I feel very bad she cannot enjoy the company of others because of her hearing.  Do you have any advice about this?  Even if the entire group was audio taped she can't respond or ask questions until the next months meeting.
