Hearing loss. Have them write about their experience and hearing loss.

I was morse intercept for three years, I have bilateral tinnitus and hearing loss. I receive 10% compensation for the tinnitus. That comes out to around $131 per month. I now have hearing aids. the aids, batteries, and parts are free for the rest of my life.

Good documentation is important, so is patience, persistence, and a friendly and helpful demeanor.
