Correct. A hearing aid or cochlear implant is used to help facilitate the necessary feedback enabling one to hear his/her own voice.

That was no paper cut. Don't look!! Too late...

I believe our parents probably said the same thing when we were kids, too.

Hey, I am just your normal everyday hard of hearing guy. *shrugs*

Oh, spare me this nonsense! What the father did was probably the smartest thing. The kid had a choice. NY dad deemed unfit for not taking son to McDonald's | Fox News

So did I, on CNN which commented on it for several seconds and moved on with a commercial break. NBC news did a little better but lasted some 20 seconds or so. No wall to wall coverage on this mass shooting pointing out the "evils of guns"? Is it because this shooting took place on the east side...
