LOSS

- Hearing. For
most of your life, it's as natural as breathing. You listen without
thinking. Converse with ease. Wake from sleep to the subtlest
of audio cues. Yet little by little, things have changed. You
realize how often you have to ask people to repeat themselves.
How exhausting it's become to attend a meeting. And how the TV
