[QUOTE]
"Imagine listening to a concert with a friend with normal hearing, and
suddenly they're playing quietly. You see that they're playing, but you
can't hear a thing, so you turn up the volume control on your hearing
aid, and the orchestra comes back to a loud passage and... 'Ayyee!.'
That's why people say 'don't shout!' when they're wearing hearing aids."
-- Brian C.J. Moore
