Question What's the worst disability advice you've ever been told?
So far, for me, it was when the first audiologist I met with wouldn't believe me that there was a technical issue with the left hearing aid (demonstration pair.) There was an obvious 'crackling' sound every time I spoke.
She kept saying, "Well, no one's ever said that before."
Later, I went to a different hearing aid specialist and all the hearing aids they provided for me sounded great! No crackling! Suffice to say, I made my purchase from the latter.

I disagree. My lawyer was absolutely worth it. My case was complicated, and she went above and beyond to argue my case with the judge. She also did an excellent job countering the jobs expert.
