Hearing "banana"

hearing
This is something I most people never have to think about...the hearing "banana" and the frequency of certain letters. The X's mark Lily's hearing ability.

But this does explain why Lily liked the bagpipes at the springtime parade and the sounds of a piano and also why she can't hear f s th - sounds also impossible to lip read because just air coming through your lips...

Since the news - we have been speaking, reading directly into Lily's "good" ear, talking louder, and she has a loaner hearing aid (until the new one comes in) but she has only worn for a few long stretches.
