Perhaps you or your husband should try to get a job with a company that 
does pay benefits.
  
Check out the laws regarding PL 94-142.  The school district is 
obligated to provide your son with a "free appropriate public 
education."
  
Try the Community Chest (or whatever it's called now) office for a 
referral to an agency that might provide a hearing aid.  However, those 
little machines do not bring perfect hearing.  As another caller has 
said--it just bombards the ear with sound waves.
  
And everyone in the family should learn sign language.  It won't hurt, 
you will make some interesting new friends, and it will definitely help.
