<P>Actually, you are right, but they use a machine called a TDD. The number listed in that statement was not the TDD number. Without this it would be impossible unless there is a third person to help out. I work with the disabled, one is partially deaf. I also once had a deaf roommate that used this machine when calling, and could only call numbers with this machine as well. Also, the City Council should always use a translator for the deaf because it is more likely a person will watch it on TV rather than go to the City Council meeting in person. Thanks.</P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;Actually Donovan, a hearing impaired person can use a telephone relay to call others.&nbsp;&nbsp;We work regularly with the Idaho School for the Deaf &amp; Blind because of my son's hearing impairment, and we receive calls occassionally from our sign language teacher who is completely deaf.&nbsp;&nbsp;How it works (I think) is that they call a middle person and type in a message which is transmitted to that person.&nbsp;&nbsp;The middle person calls the number the person wishes to connect with and speaks the message to that person.&nbsp;&nbsp;That person then responds, and the middle person types the message back to the original caller.&nbsp;&nbsp;You would have to have the equipment to do this, but it is possible, and I know many deaf people do it.&nbsp;&nbsp;Just fyi,
