This blog post resonated with me particularly because my grandfather was almost completely deaf, and I never really thought about how much of an impact his hearing aids might have had on his life. I only knew that if your conversation bored him he would switch them off and ignore you!

In this very moving post, Deaf Girly writes about hearing things that most of us would ignore, like our boss' phone ringing, and how amazing it was for her to be able to hear these things for the first time. Have any of you found a piece of technology which has had such a profound impact on your life?
