I didn’t throw my hearing aids away like Broomie but I don’t wear them very often. When I do I usually place them on the anti-noise setting because the little noises drive me crazy. If there was a legal definition of deaf I would qualify but I can hear enough in the low ranges to get by without too many problems. However if there are several people talking at the same time I have to leave as I cannot take that.
