Wife gave me fits for ignoring her when she was talking until I visited her at work. She put me in the hearing booth, looked at the printout and exclaimed "you really cannot hear".

She was a nurse in a paper mill, so now she has hearing loss also. The neighbors think we scream at each other from anger and do not understand our hearing problems. "Get the kids in the house quick, they are at it again!!"

Shotguns, industrial noises, wind noises in cars and other things worked together to remove selected frequencies. Certain frequencies are heard just fine while others I cannot hear.
