I have partial hearing loss in both ears, more pronounced in my left. Good for being a passenger while hubby is driving.

I had both eardrums burst as a child. I am handy dandy at reading lips. Good for when teens mumble.

I hate surround sound. I don't hear low tones. It confuses me. Also good for when hubby is speaking to me.

It does not serve me well with his snoring. Or maybe it does and he is even louder than I hear.
