[This is from the Silent Talk Conference]

This woman was obviously not able to interpret very well because of her
hearing loss.  She told me so.

If a hearing loss can be corrected by a suitable hearing aid, then
there's no reason why a hard-of-hearing person cannot be an interpreter.
This lady was having difficulty.

As I said in a previous message: she was being used by the hospital to
cut costs, not to provide quality service.
