As a part of my request for reasonable accommodation last year, I asked for a session with fellow managers to discover how and when my SSNHL affects them at work, a year later we're finally bringing someone in from the state. It is going to be offered to everyone at all levels of the department. I'm late deafened with some hearing remaining in one ear. On Tuesday I'm meeting with the trainers to customize generic 1 hour training. What would you want added or emphasized to help you in your own work? Thanks in advance.

Im late deafened. Totally deaf in 1 ear. Severely deaf in the other. I just had the fire department show up at my apartment door. I took a shower. So- no hearing aid in use. Went to bed. Apparently I didn't turn off the sink and it was flooding the apartment below mine. I never heard the water running. I'm told the man in the apartment below had been pounding on the ceiling. I didn't hear that either. It doesn't make sense to use a phone app to detect running water while showering. I feel terrible. I am this man's neighbor from hell. He isn't the happy type in the first place. I don't know how to fix this. Should I be looking for a ground floor apartment? Has anyone else dealt with something like this?
