Can you hear the beep? 👂

An audiogram measures something extremely useful: the quietest pure tone we can detect at different frequencies.

But:
Detection ≠ Attention ≠ Understanding

Real hearing means extracting a voice from noise, recognising incomplete information, localising sound, adapting to change — and doing all of that comfortably and without unreasonable cognitive effort.

My new HybridMind42 article asks a simple question:
Are we measuring hearing loss, or measuring enough of human hearing to understand what a person actually needs?

The audiogram isn't the problem.
Don't break the tool. Define its proper boundaries.
