NPR Article

I was searching Google for hearing loss blogs when I found this NPR article that talks about hearing loss. What's so interesting about this piece is that it added soundbites of what it sounds like when you have hearing loss, which is really cool. It was spot on. It depicts what I go through when I am trying to hear things without my hearing aids and even talks about recruitment, which is a weird phenomenon where as sounds get louder, they quickly go from being inaudible to painfully loud. And it really hurts and is uncomfortable. I thought this site was interesting so I've added it below so that people who don't deal with hearing loss can see what people who have to deal with go through and maybe help them understand.
