My late Mother taught me the valuable life lesson when I was no more than 7 or 8 years old...
While at the hearing aid service (to fit my eldest brother with hearing aids) I was given a set of ear phones to wear that dampened sound -- closely replicating what hearing loss was like for my brother.
To this day I recall that experience to remind myself that unless I am in another person's shoes I have no clue what they may be going through at any given moment.
