My Aunt’s hearing got so bad that even a hearing aid didn’t help. Helen Keller was asked if she could pick one sense to get back which would she choose. She said “I would choose hearing. Blindness separates you from the things of the world but being deaf separates you from other people.” I remember years ago when I had a deaf girlfriend, the thing that split us apart was that I really wanted to get back to the Great Pacific Northwest and she really wanted to stay in Wichita where her family was. In Seattle she would have no one but me.
