Regardless: I hope you will be able to live large despite your loss of hearing. Why would your lawmakers ban protection?
Thanks! Yeah it's really not debilitating. Things sound weird, but otherwise I'm entirely functional. I'd prefer to hear, but this really isn't life-altering.
re: earplugs, it makes sense for the general population. One really should be able to hear the surroundings for things like horns, sirens, etc. It doesn't jibe well with "what if you go deaf" because we can still drive, but it's kinda a fringe population.
