RTO rules for hearing impaired people in India?

Yes, your daughter will definitely drive one day once time will permit her. Nothing to worry. She is still very little, there are many ways to go forwards in her life and with time there will come more facilities with more developed technologies. Let me wish her all the best! What is her name, please?

Did you have admitted any speech-therapist for her? If no, please start do for this to develope her speech as long as she can.

As far as i feel no technology has been perfect yet for hearing impaired. With Hearing Aid used/Cochlear Implant fitted some1 may hear something better, but the level of hearing depends on the degree of hearing loss. More loss in hearing, less benefit from those. So it depends on her degree of hearing loss. Whats her degree of hearing?

For me, i used to wear hearing aid in school times till class 7-8. Then stopped using them since i found no special benefits from those - only disturbing noise, can't differentiate the sonuds. Since then, i have been gone without hearing aid. I only depend on Lip-Reading as far as i can. And with strangers i speak first. Some ppl can understand, while others can't my speech. In that case i use gestures and/or use notepad+pen.

Please keep posted with ur queries. i'll help u with my best. After all we are from our own "City of Joy". Where do u stay? I'm from Gariahat-Golpark.

Dzire is a vehicle with waiting, which in-turn means that it has demand. So free goodies are totally unlikely. You would be able to extract basic stuffs like floor mats, mud flaps etc.

Unlike discount, free accessories generally vary from city to city.  Check for discounts (if any) & free accessories with other dealers locally (Kolkatta may be having many dealers).

Thanks for the detailed post. Her name is Rai. Yes she is currently undergoing Speech Therapy session. However she has profound hearing loss almost 80% in one and about 70% in other. So she has been administered Hearing Aid as of now and is under observation. In case she does not respond much to the aids she might go in for Implant. I stay off New Alipore.

Anyway I think I am going too much out of topic and is kind of hijacking your thread. Thanks for all the info and the encouraging words. I will surely be in touch with you for any assistance I might need in time to come.

Going back to the topic from which Dealer will you be proccuring the new Dezire?

@ Tathagata

Please don't feel hesitate to discuss in or out of the box. Since this forum is open to all kinds of discussions, u r welcome to discuss on any topic.

Like ur daughter i've profound loss in both ears - 80% in left and 90% in right. I'm too old to experiment with new technologies on my ears. But ur daughter must have undergo implant, i have heard there are many kids who got implanted in those ears from their very childhood and have improved their hearing and speaking. So Rai has a good chance. By the way, who is her speech therapist? I may know him/her by any chance!

Anyway, i have booked for my Dzire from Auto-Hitech. Just got allotment last week. Hope to get delivered early next week.

U own WagonR i think. What do u do?

Thanks a lot Mr. Sarkar. Your words gives me a lot of confidence always. Till such time I was having feedback and knowledge from people who are not hearing challenged. Having your views on this issue certainly helps us regain confidence about Rai's future. Wel, she has not undergone implant as of now as she is using hearing aids for last 4 months or so. She is having her therapy at Mr. Chandan Saha's facility at Prince Anwar Shah Road (Opp. Taltala Ground) and he is of opinion to keep her on aids for some more time as she is showing some response with them. Ulimately if the aids do not serve purpose to the full extent she will go in for an implant some times down the line. We only hope that the aids works well.

Yes I own a Wagon-R the first generation one 2001 model. I am a working as Manager-IT in a manufacturing unit.
