There’s a “hearing impaired” TikTok’er from Ireland whose life changed after he was fitted with a hearing aid. He was suddenly able to hear MORE sounds, and many of them were a complete surprise. For example: Scratching.
He scratched his face and heard it. He also heard the sound of butter being scraped onto a bagel for the first time. He was also surprised to hear a noise coming from his drain and had no idea that fires make sounds.
