Who are they and how BS> would I contact them. OVR is Office of Vocational Rehabilitation that exists (I think) in each of the states. They will frequently help with funding prostheses that are necessary to obtain or maintain employment. I'm not sure how to contact them in Boston. But you might call Nan Robbins at Massachusetts Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Boston. 600 Washington St. Phone (617)727-5106. She should be able to tell you. BS> And no I havent heard of SHHHHHH H's> though I think a friend of mine from work may have BS> mentioned it once or twice. I would be interested in that BS> kind of group so if you could tell me how to get in touch There are at least nine chapters and groups of SHHH (Self Help for Hard of Hearing People) in Massachusetts, Bill. The best way to get in touch with one would be to contact the national SHHH office at 7800 Wisconsin Ave, Bethesda, MD 20814. Phone numbers are (301)657-2248 voice and (301)657-2249 tdd. ...
