I have a friend with NF and he lost his hearing in a similar manner. His condition has gotten pretty bad in the last year or so, but before then had a Cochlear Implant that did wonders for his quality of life. Do you have one or is getting one a possibility?

Probably no more than the rest of the country. I went to HS in SC and took multiple AP and IB exams. They do not let just anyone take these exams, you have to have the appropriate test scores to get into the classes that prep you for the exams. The bottom 20% of students in our state may be some of the worst performing in the country (probably because they are attending some of the poorest schools in our state). But the top 20% are no different than students in any other state.

At my company new employees get the full safety training before they are allowed to step foot on the production floor. LOTO is an hour 1, day 1 type training for maintenance techs.
