My Patients Almost Never Report Difficulty Hearing Nature Sounds (E.G., Birds, Bubbling Creeks) During Their Initial Consultation. Does This Mean They Can Hear These Sounds Or That These Sounds Aren’t Important To Them?

Every patient is different, of course, but we would be surprised if patients with sensorineural hearing loss readily hear nature sounds such as animal vocalizations (birdsongs, insect stridulations) or geophysical sounds (wind, rain, thunder or stream sounds).
