My selfe within . . . .

My selfe within a nanosecond after getting connected to tech support and again I hear a voice speaking from India or some other foreign country that I have a real problem communicating with because I canât understand them.

I understand, and I sympathize. Not only do they have a strong accent, but they talk fast. I can seldom understand all of what they are saying. That's why I prefer Chat.

This is how I imagine what the Trump haters look like every time he tweets or passes another bill. LOL

Reminds me of the typical Trump supporter as each new revelation comes out.

I have even asked to be transferred to someone that speaks English as a first language and they do not do it.

I'm deaf and have to compromise the condition with hearing aids. Can hardly use a phone anymore so got a Caption Call device to monitor conversations. Even now I have to ask he caller to slow down and speak more clearly. Most try to cooperate but the caption errors are sometimes comical in the context of the conversation.

Anyway, you might try a similar tactic when you have to speak to these folks who use English as a second language. Slow down, E-N-U-N-C-I-A-T-E.....

I have a better idea. These jobs need to be filled by USA citizens who speak English that can be understood by the average American. Maybe these greedy companies will finally come to their senses.

Who is this? Kara, Tara, Karen? O.K. I am probably the only one who has this hearing disability, but I still have to ask the receptionists to speak slowly and clearly into the frigging mic. I guess remedial speech is not part of Common Core Curriculum. Some of our native English speakers are not much better on the phone than the foreign help-line techs. I prefer email and chat when it's available.

Good suggestion and I agree with you.

I too suffer from loss of hearing but with the newer 'aids' that I bought at Costco, I can connect to my cell phone via bluetooth. I now can understand 90+% of most words on telephone calls.
When it comes to listening to the TV thats a different story. The people on TV news and weather try to talk as fast as possible and then my comprehension goes down fast.
