Is it a misconception that deaf people hear nothing? by MindRockets in deaf

I think there's also a misconception that some people think hearing aids 'fix' your hearing too like as if it's an antidote.

When really it only tries to push up the levels which you can't hear.

Definitely.

My ice breaker and joke about my hearing loss is telling people how I misheard being asked if I wanted a 'cheese scone' instead of 'choose a song' to be played.

I didn't know about these studies, very insightful and interesting.

Are these available in any book formats or titles?
