Not forgetting my childhood experiences with hearing-aids, I hesitated purchasing them. As I walked out of that clinic wearing the new hearing-aids, I heard so many birds chriping. I had not known there were so many birds. As ventured into the world of sound, I quickly discovered that refrigerators made a sound, that newspapers rustle when held, that dishes clink, and that the river made a noise. I was able to enjoy the world of sound.
Noises can be beautiful.
However, I came to look at sound differently. I eventually learned that not all noise is beautiful. I must admit that I am still partial to the world of silence. Some are envious that I am not distracted by noise when I wish to study. My quiet world allows me to further develop my intuition and ability to empathize-I cannot hear what people are feeling, but feelings are, by nature, usually felt instead of spoken.
