Here is an update on the iPad discussion that is pertinent to my
near-deafness situation.  I deem the information important in light of
another thread on monaural earbuds.

It is also important to your colleagues, friends, and family who are hearing
impaired.

Apple appears to have a more inclusive approach in their marketing and
sales.  For instance, i can arrange for a One-to-One session with a signing
trainer or a sales appointment with a signing sales rep.  They also include
sales reps who are older and, some are "over the hill".

I found this information about the iPad on Apple.com this morning as I was
looking at it.

Mono Audio

If your hearing is limited in one ear, tap a checkbox to route both right-
and left-channel audio into both headphones, so you can hear both channels
in either ear.


While I was planning to purchase an iPad for traveling and gifting, I did
not expect to use it for my iTunes music collection.  This newly-mentioned
feature may cause me to purchase a 32GB or 64GB model because of that
feature.
