Hi Lafayette, have you ever wondered how sounds are perceived by someone with hearing loss?  Here’s a nicely written article from NPR with soundclips for you to experience:  https://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2013/04/06/175945670/the-real-sounds-of-hearing-loss  After you listen to the sound clips, you’ll begin to appreciate the challenges the hearing impaired face.
