Thanks. My hearing's like that - it's blissful when I have a stuffy head and can't hear so well. My h often tests me by whispering to me from the next room and I always hear him..... and he can't believe it. I had to get a dr's note saying I have above-average hearing in order to get a double-eared headset at work, otherwise the noise of working in a call center is overwhelming to me if I have one ear open to it.
