Happy 34th, ADA!

Yes indeed, it was 34 years ago today that the Americans with Disabilities Act became law. I don't have too much time to devote to this, but we've sure come a long way and still have a long way to go. By now you've all no doubt gained somewhat of an understanding of personal experiences on the matter. But what I will say is that now is most certainly a good time to be visually impaired. I suppose that now is also a good time to be hearing impaired, but I don't yet have enough experience to make a definitive statement like that. I am very impressed though with my hearing aids. My father brought by some cleaning supplies for the hearing aids, which seems to help out. I more or less have yet to find an accessible user guide for them, although Apple seems to have an entire page or 3 on their website which is dedicated to made-for-iPhone hearing aids. I don't know whether others are discussed or if other types even exist.
