I was in my apartment washing the dishes. I was not wearing my hearing aid which made the sounds of the rushing water and the clanking of the plates duller and softer. I saw my boyfriend leave the apartment, saying he'll be right back. I continued washing the dishes. A few minutes later, I heard my boyfriend's voice. Since, I have no concept of where sounds come from (I have trouble locating sound sources) I thought that perhaps he was outside the door to the apartment and he needed help getting in. I opened the door, and he was not there. No one was there.
"Hey."
I screamed.
He was standing right behind me.
He was alarmed by the fact that I did not hear him come in the apartment and walk right by me. He was trying to talk to me from another room in the place, when I thought that perhaps he was outside.
Geez.

ReplyDeleteWithout hearing aids, that happens.
;)
Interesting how a moderate Hearing loss hear without their hearing aids. Me- I can't hear anything without my hearing aids (silent). Never could. Unless a dog is barking next to my ears (which I'm glad I left that ear unimplanted). btw, close distanced very low sounds is muffled.
ReplyDeleteWithout Implant and Hearing Aid, I don't really hear anything. Last night I discovered that a surround system just next to my ear will make me jump and try to work out why I can hear it.... we was watching a film, took my hearing aid out then i could hear banging... I was like huh? then asked my boyfriend and he pointed to the system just not far from my ear.
ReplyDeleteI could see the exact same thing happening to me!
ReplyDeletehaha gives you a fright doesn't it? When I was still living at home, my brother walked into my room and I had no idea. I got the shock of my life when I turned around to find him there!
ReplyDeleteIf that happen to me I will react just what you did. It is a very scary situation. Losing our hearing is going to be a very painful situation.

This happens to me a lot. Fabulous Husband usually waves in my line of vision. There are times he gently touches me, and I jump out of my skin as well, because I think I'm the only one here. Our new home doesn't have floors that vibrate when someone is walking around me. I miss that kind of "clue".
