It was a bit frustrating. My friend actually asked me if I was feeling okay. She said I seemed distracted, so I ended up telling her about the earplug. We were going into the movie anyway then.
Because it was quiet in the cinema, I had an easy time hearing the film. A few words were lost here and there, but for the most part, it was an okay experience. Because I am used to the surround sound at the cinema, I felt like I wasn't hearing that as much and I missed the full effect of going to the movies.
Wearing the two earplugs was a completely different experience from wearing the one. I went to a cardio class at my gym and because the routines are always different, I was having a very hard time following because I couldn't hear what the instructor was saying. I had to rely on watching others in the class to make sure that I was doing the right thing.
After the gym I went to get some sushi at a...
There was confusion when I handed her money because she had asked me if I wanted a drink. She ended up holding a soda cup up. I said 'no thanks' and then she took my money. I hadn't expected her to ask me that because I was taking the sushi to go. It was frustrating and a little bit embarrassing because there was a line of people behind me. I felt very alone and isolated from the world.
When I got home I ate my sushi and then took the dogs for a walk around the block. I ran into one of my neighbors and having a conversation outdoors with the dogs was nearly impossible. I had to tell him what was going on because I really couldn't hear a thing. I asked him to speak up and I depended a lot on his lip movements to understand what he was saying. The whole experience made my heart race. To not hear is very isolating.
Significant Discoveries The discoveries I made about my friend were enlightening. I already knew she did not attend religious services and that she was agnostic, as this had been information that was the basis for many friendly debates in our social circle. I understood her sense of hope and her ability to find joy in her children's joy and learning. I was however not aware that all of her family was
