<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I tried Apple&#8217;s Hearing Test, and I couldn&#8217;t believe the results I got. Who would have thought that I was experiencing the type of hearing loss average for people my age? Definitely not me.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first thing the test did was to prove to me that I could indeed hear. Wow! I would have never known this without taking Apple&#8217;s test. I guess the incessant yammering of friends should have clued me in, but I couldn&#8217;t know <em>for sure</em> until I took the test. Amazing!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then the test demonstrated by A + B that I&#8217;m suffering from hearing loss. I would have never guessed it. My wife and kids would probably have guessed it, however, seeing as they keep saying that I put the TV volume too high. At any rate, now I have an excuse for mishearing song lyrics all the time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I plan to use my earbuds to hide my hearing loss. To the rest of the world, I&#8217;ll just look like someone who likes to bob his head and tap his foot to the music. This is going to come in extremely handy during work meetings, or when I&#8217;m having a discussion with my loved ones.</p>
