I would contact them. This is a perfectly valid reason to not do jury duty.

Meredith Crosby :
That is scary and valid and i see you. I’m so sorry. I do believe a dr could give you an excuse- just on what this is doing to your mental health.

Tiffany Lee :
I am hearing impaired as well. Id suggest getting a Dr note. Jury duty was doable but very hard with my impairment. I wouldnt be able to do it again.

If they can’t accommodate you, this could be a good reason to be excused. Good luck ❤️

You should 100% be able to get a doctors note to get out of it. Very valid reason to not have to be a part. 🤍

Girl, contact them! The masks are taking away the only way you can be sure to know what is said, and that is something they need to know! It’ll be ok!

Fill out an exemption. Given your work, it would cause financial hardship to be chosen.

If you get a doctors note they’ll usually excuse you from the rest of your jury duty. I don’t have hearing loss, but I do have a medical issue that1/2

If you just call them, and tell them you are hard of hearing and don’t know sign language, they will pardon you.

girlifanwaytoomanygroups :
This is such a valid reason to cry or feel upset, and I think that contacting them and bringing a trusted friend or family to help you get there

orange corgi :
it is the expectation that all members of the jury have access to same level of information so you having hearing aids affects that even if u (1)

Southernmess513 :
You can ask for accommodations doll. They can provide you special seating and you could even request to be excused by your doctor I think.

On the summons there should be a website you can visit and a way to email them. Definitely send an email regarding this.

have you tried to contact them for an exemption? You'd have to call them unfortunately but if someone could help you that could work?
