Meagan asked:


For a few weeks I had a really horrible sore throat and sinus infection or something. Now that I’m getting over most of that I’ve noticed the hearing in one ear is a little off. It’s pretty much like once you get out of the pool after being underwater for a long time and it’s clogged up. But it doesn’t go away. Any ideas as to what it could be?

If a person wears glasses or contacts at all for seeing far the DMV restricts their license with a “corr. lenses” mark even if their prescription is very minor.
So why then do they not restrict those who wear hearing aids? In fact profoundly deaf people who don’t hear anything at all recieve no restrictions on their licenses either.
I’m wondering why.
P.S: I have nothing against Deaf people both my parents are Deaf. I’m just curious.
