Interesting.

K so this is the first time I've mentioned this on here, but I'm profoundly deaf myself (this is no joke btw). I have to wear hearing aids, and without them I'm as deaf as a post.

In general my hearing has never really caused me day-to-day problems. The only things I struggle are telephones (put it this way I'd be useless in call centre job!), and places where there's a lot of background noise. Pubs can sometimes be a nightmare for me.

Her essay has answered a coupla things I always wondered about.
If I was to do music seriously and get even semi-big would my hearing be an issue for the journalists who might want to interview me? It seems it would. It's a shame that mine or her hearing would be/is more of talking point than her music.
