In this case, this hypothetical situation, what if I said no hearing aides would be able to amplify your hearing? Would you still choose to lose hearing knowing you would never hear another thing in your life? No music, sweet words from a loved one, the sounds of waves on the beach, birds singing...Nothing.

Still choose hearing?

O dear! That would be HARD! 😖 I was kinda banking on the hearing aid to cushion the effect of hearing loss.

Yes, I'll still choose hearing. 😔 Then I will watch people's faces and read their lips to understand what they are saying.

You know what this also means? I have noticed that people lean on other senses when they lose one. Somehow our bodies have a way of making up for the loss of any parts. So I'm sure my other sense will pick up the slack and I may end up honing my other sense to somehow detect sound.

🤔 Don't ask me how? Lemme think first 😄

It is true that when one sense is lost the others become keener...Let's hope we never have to find out though right?
