Dear terracottalily

Thank you for your interest. My ultimate coup (using your exciting word) is for every public venue eg. town hall, theatre, lecture hall, place of worship, etc. to have a fully-functioning induction loop or infrared system and for the staff to know what they are and to service them well.

A subsidiary objective would be for me to be crowned Induction Loop King and to feature on a high-value UK postage stamp alongside Edward Snowden, and labelled 'Champions of the 21st century.'

Perhaps you might tell me if you have similar objectives?

No, I'm not Finnish but I know that country quite well. I've visited it many times in the last few years for conferences and work. There are relatively many people in SF with Usher Type 2 and 3. I appeared in Tuntosarvi magazine, which is a Finnish publication for deafblind people.

Thanks for your encouraging response. It would be good if you could join in the campaign. I suggest you join/make contact with Hearing Link, who campaign for people with hearing loss. One of their campaigns is for people to promote induction loops. You may wish to email Sally Shaw at [email protected] Good luck and I'd be delighted to hear of the response. Of course I don't know in which country you are. Colin, Hove.

Dear ushersyndrome!

The reason I have gone AWOL is because I have so many commitments and, shamefully, it is difficult to access emails without my reader, who is not always here.

I have been a member of the RP Fighting Blindness. Is that what you mean by Foundation Fighting Blindness? I'm afraid I don't know about Foundation Fighting Blindness. I will private message you and you are welcome to email me if you like!

I have a lot of urgent things to do, so would you mind if I come back to you in a week?

Colin, Hove
