Background Noises Are Annoying!
Apr 19, 2025This topic came to mind because of a conversation I had with my mom, the church pianist. I asked her one day why she plays when someone is praying or towards the end of the message but the preacher isn't done yet? She replied with, "It's soft music though. Why would it bother you?"
I don't think she realizes that when I am trying to understand someone speaking, the best environment for me to understand most of what is being said, is where they is no background noise at all. My hearing aids have to filter it out and thus making my eyes strain even harder to understand the words.
Hearing aids make sounds louder but they don't make them clearer. So any noise while someone is talking is more distracting for us than possibly a hearing person. Be mindful!
