I linked to this
hearing loss demo from somewhere else. It's actually a pretty interesting and useful demonstration for folks with relatively normal hearing to know what hearing loss is like. I have a moderate haring loss (far right on the demo), I just fall off the table at the higher frequencies. Some sounds are lost to me forever, even with hearing aids. Coupled with
tinnitus, and my fairly recently developed
hyperacusis, makes life - well, interesting for me.
Anyway, I read various blogs and such on deaf and hearing loss, and came across
this demo on hearing loss. I played all the examples and thought, this sucks! I can't hear shit! My sound card must be broken.
Then I realized that I wasn't wearing my hearing aids. Oops.
Okay, I thought it was funny.
