- Article 1: Leader dogs may soon need a ticket to fly
By JERRY WOLFFE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Editor: You better sit down before you read this article. It seems that the Federal Department of Transportation (DOT) is considering a policy change that would allow airlines to require a ticket for service animals in some circumstances!

Note that the article's author mentions a subsequent article that includes a statement from Northwest Airlines that they would not charge for service animals, and a statement from the DOT that their statement was guidance only.

This article is republished with permission from the Oakland Press (http://theoaklandpress.com).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A proposed change in the Air Carrier Access Act might force disabled people to buy airline tickets for their guide and service animals when traveling by air in the United States and overseas.

"The current policy is that you go on the plane with your dog and the animal sits at the owner's feet," said Pat Paterno, manager of media relations at Leader Dogs for the Blind in Rochester Hills. "The Department of Transportation wants to permit airlines to charge for an extra seat or put the dogs in the cargo hold or have the disabled person and service animal wait for a less crowded flight."

Leader Dogs, founded in 1939, has had about 13,000 graduates. It pays for about 300 visually impaired and blind students each year to visit the facility and be trained to use guide dogs, which cost about $38,000 each. Lions Clubs and private donors often cover the cost of providing a guide dog for a blind person.

"This is going to negatively affect thousands of people," said Paterno.

Joan Froling of the International Association of Assistance Dog Partners estimated there are about 25,000 Americans working with assistance dogs.

The proposed changes in the Access Act were first made Nov. 4, 2004, when the DOT published a Notice of Proposed Rule Making in the Federal Register concerning air travel by passengers with disabilities. Already, rest rooms in airplanes are too small to be accessible to a wheelchair user, so doctors often tell disabled travelers to dehydrate themselves before flying.

"The stated goal was to clarify existing rules and make air travel more accessible for disabled Americans," IAADP said in a statement. "However, a segment of that document would have the opposite effect for a portion of the disabled American community."

Rod Haneline, chief operating officer of Leader Dogs, noted, "The airlines talked about this before, and now apparently the DOT has issued proposed rules to authorize airlines to charge a disabled passenger for an extra ticket if the disabled person's service dog doesn't fit into the small amount of floor space directly in front of where the disabled person is sitting on an airplane."

The alternative being proposed, Haneline said, is the team would be separated with the service dog going into the cargo hold or both waiting for a later flight where there might be room for the service animal and the disabled person to sit in the cabin.

"This is not fair," he continued. "The dog is your choice of a mobility tool. You're being discriminated against, in essence, because your choice of a mobility tool doesn't fit perfectly into their seat."

Friends and members of the IAADP have flooded the DOT Public Comment site with more than 1,150 responses critical of the proposed rule changes.

"The issue is crucial to our freedom to travel with a guide, hearing or service animal," Froling said. "We expect the final rules to take effect this summer."

She said DOT first said it was a safety issue and now the airlines say it's a financial burden because they can't charge for a second seat.

If this rule goes into effect, Froling said, "it will make travel unaffordable for many disabled Americans. It deprives us of the access rights we've had for over 30 years and there has never been a complaint from a passenger to DOT about assistance animals."

- Article 2: Internet Protocol (IP) Relay Panel Discussion - Part 1
By Cheryl Heppner
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Editor: Are you familiar with Internet Protocol (IP) Relay? It's a relay service that allows TTY users to make or receive relay calls using a computer instead of a TTY. Because internet-connected computers are much more common than TTYs, IP Relay really opens up telecommunications access to folks who struggle with a standard voice phone.

Here's Cheryl Heppner's report on the IP Relay Panel Discussion at last year's TDI Conference. If you'd like to share this report, be sure to credit NVRC. Attribution information is at the end of this article.

This is part one of two parts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Moderator: Judy Viera
Panelists:
Mike Baer, Sprint
Eric Emmons, Sorenson Communications
Anne Girard, Hamilton
Mark Stern, GoAmerica
Bill McClellan, MCI

Q: How do you explain the rapid growth of IP Relay?

Bill McClellan: Ease of use. When the FCC enabled IP relay, all major relay providers jumped in and developed more and more products. It became easier than using TTY for relay. As the product became more accessible, Instant Message (IM)-style relay was launched, and all kinds of wireless devices could be used. Now a hearing person doesn't have to know how to dial a number and jump through steps to reach you.

Eric Emmons: IP relay became more practical as computers became more common at home, work, when visiting others, and at the library. Computers are more comfortable to use than a TTY. You can get a larger screen that is at a better angle for viewing. There are also more people who use pagers and other mobile devices.

Anne Girard: Call processing is completely different on IP relay. Handling is fast, making less lag time for both the hearing and deaf or hard of hearing person.

Mark Stern: TTYs don't allow people to talk at the same time, but IP relay can. Computer prices have dropped to where they can be bought for as little as $300. The ability to make long distance calls free of charge was also an attraction.

Mike Baer: Agreed with previous speakers. The growth has been so explosive that IP relay providers underestimated how much it would be used this year.

~~~~~

Q: What telecommunication trends are likely to impact IP Relay?

Eric Emmons: Mobile device use will grow more than computer use because of the advantage of being able to take and use them anywhere.

Anne Girard: Hearing people were used to getting a voice call, but now more are comfortable using IM. This might lead them to use more IM to IM communication instead of going through the relay service.

Mark Stern: Some telecommunications relay service requirements have been waived, such as handling 911 calls. There's a trend that will probably lead to making a decision about location-finding on internet-based relay services.

Bill McClellan: More people are able to be in contact more frequently and there will be an explosion of devices with connectivity. So far the FCC's decisions have supported innovation and competition, creating a competitive field with consumer choice of various providers.

~~~~~

Q: At present, IP Relay is not required to meet certain mandates. What standards should be implemented or not implemented?

Mike Baer: Recommends applying telecommunications relay services to all the forms of services, but some services will pose problems. Voice carry over and hearing carry over are impossible right now, due to limitations of the technology. Long distance billing is also tough but needs to be the same as local billing.

Eric Emmons: The FCC has a good reason to waive the 911 requirement. Also if two people are on IP relay and then decide they want to continue the conversation on their own, there is no current solution to do this via call release. VOIP use with IP relay could be possible if the voice part is solved.

Bill McClellan: It shouldn't be about minimum standards; it should be about consumers want. Most standards are being met. Some of the ones waived are technologically impossible to do. Some things done by video relay services could also be done by IP relay. The VOIP mandate from the FCC could probably apply because it's the same technology. Things currently being waived are likely to be solved soon.

~~~~~

Q: If an emergency call came to you now, how would you manage it?

Bill McClellan: MCI's IP relay website informs the consumer to use a TTY to call 911 so the 911 center can get the location of the call. But if an emergency request does come in over IP relay, it will be processed. The consumer will be asked for the city and state where the call is being placed, and MCI will use a database of emergency center information they maintain nationally.

Anne Girard: Hamilton's approach is similar to MCI's in both educating consumers and processing the calls.

Mike Baer: Sprint has tested 911 through the Internet but hasn't yet solved all the problems and thus can't yet support it. It will be available in the future.

~~~~~

Q: What do the consumer and operator screens look like during a call, and how do you handle knowing when to take turns?

Eric Emmons: Sorenson provides users an option. Some people prefer the option that's like Instant Messaging, where both people can 'talk' at the same time. Others want the option of taking turns.

Mike Baer: Consecutive typing has been a selling point because people use it out of habit. Sprint prefers the operator to be neutral and let the two parties manage the call. Some consumers want to remove the "GA" that signals to the other person that it's their turn to talk.

Mark Stern: Some situations have different rules. The death of "GA" is probably coming soon.

Bill McClellan: From the technological point of view, there is no reason why IP relay can't allow simultaneous conversations. Most of the problem in a call with a hearing person is that they are not accustomed to waiting. The challenge is for the operator who must listen, type, and talk back and forth, which requires retraining.

Anne Girard: People with pagers who use IP relay use "GA" much less.

- Article 3: Noise measurements provide false sense of security
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Editor: It's long been common wisdom that the maximum sound level to which a person can be exposed for eight hours without endangering his hearing is 85 db. Researchers at Denmark's Alborg University are now questioning not only the level, but also the way in which it is measured!

This article is republished with the kind permission of the folks at Hear-it (www.hear-it.org)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The global standard for noise measurements underestimates the levels of hazardous noise, providing a false sense of security about dangerous noise levels.

The so-called A weighted noise measurement in dB has been the official standard for measuring noise in the workplace since the 1950s. But these measurements underestimate the power of certain types of noise which may cause hearing loss, according to researchers from Ålborg University in Denmark.

Short noise peaks from rattling bottles, compressed air blasts, and metal on metal noises are among the types of noises that the researchers found the standard noise measuring method unfit to record.

New method needed

The common noise measuring method has three shortcomings:

* Treble noises are recorded at the same levels as base and middle tones, yet treble noises are more damaging to people's hearing.

* Brief noise peaks are systematically adjusted to lower values even though noise peaks can be extremely damaging to people's hearing.

* Noise emanating from a front angle is given the same value as noise from other directions, even though the ear is more sensitive to such noise.

The current method of noise level recording was designed to provide indications of how the noise is perceived rather than how damaging it is to the ears. Because of this, the researchers recommend that new and improved methods for measuring noise in the workplace should be developed.

Melatonin pills may help ease tinnitus

Melatonin supplements might curb tinnitus, possibly by improving sleep, a new study shows. Melatonin is a hormone made in the brain's pineal gland. Natural melatonin helps regulate cycles of sleep and wakefulness. Levels of natural melatonin tend to fade with age. Melatonin is also sold as a supplement. People with tinnitus sense ringing, roaring, or humming sounds in their ears. About 15 million people in the U.S. consider their tinnitus to be a significant problem, according to statistics cited in the new study. The study appears in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. The researchers included Jay Piccirillo, MD, FACS, of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

Subtitles: Deaf to the Problem

An estimated 31 million Americans are hard of hearing, so it seems intuitive that Apple would provide captions on shows like "Desperate Housewives" and "The Office" that it has started selling online. Yet, in a mystery worthy of "Lost," there aren't subtitles on any of the iTunes video products. "We're just shut out," says Maria Herr of Chicago, who is deaf. "I paid $2 for an episode of 'Commander in Chief' and I have no idea what Geena Davis is saying."

When hearing is lost in the brain

Age-related hearing loss is not just a case of the ears losing their capability. The ability of the brain to process sound is weakened as well. Modern digital hearing aids with directional microphones may solve some of these problems. The ears are still crucial for hearing, but preliminary studies in mice indicate that a decrease in certain processes in the brain may make it harder to filter out unimportant sounds. "Traditionally, scientists studying hearing problems started looking at the ear. But we are finding patients with normal ears who still have trouble understanding a conversation. There are many people who have good inner ears who just don't hear well. That's because their brains are aging," said Dr. Robert D. Frisina of the University of Rochester Medical Center.
