The Odyssey of Hearing Loss: Tales of Triumph for Families

My proposal to Paul:
“You’ll wear your hearing aids every day at school for the next
month. Every morning before you wake up, your father will
remove your HA battery or leave it in, according to a coin flip.
He’ll then give the HA to your mother who will give it to you.
Neither you, your mother nor your teachers at school will know if
the batteries are in or not.
Every day, you and your teachers will estimate what percentage of
classroom conversation you’re able to understand. At the end of the
month, we’ll correlate when your HA were working with your and
your teacher’s estimations of how much you understood.”
