We are all of us impaired, one way or another. My best friend through college had exceptionally good eyesight. I was constantly astounded the things he could see. Often times didn’t believe, until I got closer and sure enough. He had spotted what was a blur at best if not totally invisible to me. Doug went through Marine OCS wanting to be a pilot and flunked out because of his poor.... vision.
I nearly sold my rig a dozen years ago because of tinnitus. At first thought it was my system and went crazy trying to figure out was it tube ringing or what? When it eventually became apparent it was my ears I was crestfallen. Quit listening. For several years. Then, surprise! Quite by accident discovered it was caused by long term high doses of ibuprofen to cope with sciatica.
Once a Teeter, PT and weight loss eliminated the need for the pain killers the tinnitus gradually went away, well not completely not always but more or less gone.
The thing of it is, its like my buddy Doug. Compared to perfect you will always come up short. So why put yourself through that? Keep going that way, what’s the end game? Whatever it is you can be sure its pretty damn dismal- and then you lose. Or you can say hey, what I can hear, might not be what the next guy hears but it sounds pretty good to me.
Might as well. You do not want to be the next guy anyway. Trust me.
