Has anyone else faced this? It is asthough each time I cope the head changes things to try to push me to fail.

This year I was assigned lunch duty. Another teacher was willing to take the duty because he knew of my problem. I was willing to teach his extra class. The principal was quite mean about it and would not change my schedule and now I have terrible ringing in my ears. Do I have any legal rights? 2) Because of budget cuts and schedule changes, I recently was told that I would be moved from the middle school to the elementary school. I do not feel that I can teach that level/age because of my hearing loss. The older students are much more understanding, mature and can deal with my impairment. Do I have a right to demand an accommodation of staying at the school? 1) I am a tenured hearing impaired middle school Social Studies teacher who wears hearing aids.

With more students with mild losses being identified and receiving services, I find myself unable to trouble-shoot hearing devices. I would love advice for this and for other communication problems that occur from time to time.
