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.

PSA:

I recently turned 50 and, to celebrate, my wife told me I wasn't heaing things normally anymore.

I went to the ear people who agreed with her.

I'm getting hearing aids before my mother and before my father in law, both of whom hear much worse than I do, because current science suggests that untreated hearing loss contributes to cognitive decline and dementia. No thank you!

I'll take the bionic parts.

Dozing off with your head on one side while wearing your hearing aids.
Kids - just don't do it!

Ouch!

Hi everyone - thought I would do a quick one of these #introduction things! I'm George, I work in the gaming space handling paid social and general digital marketing for Frontier (Planet Zoo, Jurassic World Evolution 2, F1 Manager 2022, and more!). I'm profoundly deaf with a cochlear implant which restores a considerable amount of but my directional hearing is wack as I haven't gone bilateral.

I'm here to meet new people and explore this exciting space, especially in the wake of recent Twitter events. I have three cats, an unhealthy paternal obsession with Grogu, and lucked out with both ADHD and autism ✌️
