	My grandmother is virtually deaf due mainly to neglect, on
her part during her teenage years, of persistent ear aches. She now
will tell anyone listening that your ears are Quite important. She
is an extremely intelligent person having been a book reviewer,
college instructor and author during her life, she now feels left out
of most conversations that she does not lead unless you spend special
effort to make yourself understood. I was not aware how bad she was
until the past couple of years. She could not even listen to tv without 
the volume turned way up. I installed a set of headphones for her so
that she could listen to the boob tube, which I always took for
granted. Now she can hear it for the first time in probably over ten
years.
