Compare and contrast loss of hearing


For the last couple of weeks, the phone on the left seems to ring from the right.
I know a couple of friends who lost hearing in a ear - one due to wrong medication as a child. Looper technology.
In Facing the wave, the author write 'Because he could hear, he knew he was alive, no dreaming'. In the 'Shouting Wont Help' the author talks of an elderly British woman kidnapped in Africa and without her hearing aid. Blindfolded and no way to hear, she was kept away from that privilege of knowing she was alive.


As a child, when our school was getting ready for a meet, the convent sister asked me to get a plate or so I thought. I also reasoned why would she need a blade and got her a plate from cafeteria. Some one else’s. It was close to lunch time.
A word filled up might lead to funny incident or a mixup but what if you had a whole day’s notes in gobbledy gook.
‘Song without words’ is the unusual story of a person who spent most of his life deciphering the world through many layers with what he call lyricals – the stages of guessing the right word.

The stages are poetic but if every piece of info you receive is to be through this process then it can be harrowing than the impossible finger writing the letters.
