Default I hate being impaired...

I have a slight hearing impairment. L/R being 7%/5% respectively. So far, the 3 things I looked into doing are negatives because of it, its really pissin me off.

I got a phone call from USA Trucking.. so I might see what they can offer.

This dude at my office can't hear out of his left ear. He wears his headset for his phone on his right ear. If anyone wants to get his attention while he's on the phone they have to get in his face and start clapping or jumping up and down and stuff.

What is hard to hear? 7% should be just some letters or parts of words, correct?
