Hearing Aid Tax Credit Attracts Record 113th Co-Sponsor

Sunday, February 7, 2010

Washington, DC, January 26, 2010 – Hearing Aid Tax Credit legislation in the
House of Representatives (H.R. 1646) shattered previous co-sponsorship
records when Rep. Tom Perriello (D-VA) became the 113th Rep. to co-sponsor
the bill on January 21. Less than a year after introduction, the legislation
surpassed co-sponsorship totals achieved in the Republican-majority 109th
Congress (ending in 2006) and the Democratic-majority 110th Congress (ending
in 2008) – both of which peaked at 112 co-sponsors at the conclusion of each
full two-year session.

Challenges at work

By Ozinabox
February 5, 2010

The other day, I was talking to one of my deaf friends, and the subject came
up that he was planning to continue to attend school. This was after the
fact that he’s almost finished with his MBA. His aspirations were bigger
than anticipated, so he decided to pursue another degree in Management
Information System (MIS). I encouraged him by telling the story of a hearing
friend who graduated with his Masters and got flooded with offers from
different companies even though he was not actively looking for a job. But,
my deaf friend had a different version of the situation. He said that his
particular degree was basically useless without the other, and that
positions like the one my hearing friend got (who is now a project manager
for a technology company in New York) were the kinds of jobs that most deaf
people couldn’t obtain easily.
