Hey, when the time comes, don't be shy about stepping up to the disability bar just cuz you're not profoundly deaf.
Hearing loss counts. It fouls up your day in a lot of ways, even if it isn't severe.
I have lived with two dear friends as they lost their hearing, and got to see upfront how infuriating it was, to have an invisible disability that non-dis people would repeatedly forget about, and fail to accomodate. Grrr.
