Fatties let themselfs go First of. I work as a hearing aid professional. We got this one customer. My coworker texted me when I was out of store because she didn't know what hearing aids she should order for her. She got a pretty "complicated" hearing loss. The bass region is audible for her, but there is like literally no sensation in the treble region. My coworker made a hearing test with her and she wouldn't even hear treble sounds that are 120decibels loud (thats as loud as if you are standing next to a starting jet plane). The hearing impairment was there since she was a kid (now in her 70s) and she basically didn't do anything for her ears since now. If your brain don't get any sound information it will decrease the numbers of cells processing the hearing. So she can't understand speech right now. She can tell what you are saying by reading lips. I didn't get much more information about this customer since today when she walked in for the appoiment. The first thing I noticed: she was fat. (Goddamnit I shouted inside my head).  Now I have to deal with a hamplanet that has been too lazy her entire life to get her shitty hearing done. And boooy I can tell you she won't accept my hearing aids. I report back when she is visiting for the next appointment.
