I have an audiologist appointment later. I'll officially become hard of hearing, a new identity.
I wonder what new things I'll hear when I have hearing aids.
They won't help me hear the things I don't listen to. Decades of working in a cube farm trained me to cut out background chatter. It's not that I don't hear it. I just filter it out.
I wonder what else I've filtered out of my life.
I hope you get a chance to check your filters #today
