Prior to the start of last night’s mass, the priest announced a new technology! The first two sections towards the front will be bombarded with radio wave frequency for the deaf! Besides the usually high amount of radiant energy going through the bodies of the faithful worshipers of the invisible forces by TPTB and pals, users with hearing aides (i.e. Bluetooth) can tune into a reception and hear the sermons better.
“Now isn’t that special!” as the Church Lady (Dana Carey from SNL) would express. It’s not so great because the people are messing around with the sound system. Tonight, the sounds of static (or corn gently popping without butter) could be heard throughout the mass. That’s not cool! So whoever didn’t plug the microphones properly will get their eyeballs gouged out!
I couldn’t concentrate on my passages from the distracting noise! But thanks to my hearing loss, it didn’t bother me that much. Hopefully, I will get an Opticon, courtesy of the twosome. The technology allows us deaf people to “[sort through the noise and understand the conversation]” with either a small microphone on the collar or around the neck.
If there is only a way to test the actual loss of nerves, that could narrow down the possibility that the mind of the deaf may have learned over a period of time to subjectively “tune out” noise, which include normal conversation. Up to this point it’s goes down to what the patient “hears” as loud enough.
