Saturday afternoon at about 2:00, I put in earplugs to simulate a bilateral conductive hearing loss. When I initially put them in, I was working on homework in the dining room with my roommate, Ashton, who was on the phone with her mother. Prior to putting in the earplugs, I could hear her mother’s voice through the phone. Once I put the earplugs in, Ashton’s voice became muffled and I could no longer hear her mother’s voice at all.

A lot of stuff makes sounds that I never noticed before until I didn’t hear them, like my own footsteps on the tile floor, or my cat who I talk to a lot and he meows back in response.
