My name is not Garp; it's Jonah!
At the beginning of every school year, my Junior High science teacher, whom was my homeroom teacher, too, would explain that cheating was a major no-no. He would go on to explain that he'd had a student who wore an electronic device and, in defense, say that it was a hearing aid. The teacher wised up and caught the student. Since then (and he does not share this tidbit with the story), he would review the file of any hearing-impaired student (just to be sure).
My sister would have him as a homeroom teacher, too. Upon the story's finish, all 29 students would look at her as if she was suspect. My sister related this story to me and I'd not given it much mind. Then, of course, I'd gone through the same thing and, yes, all 29 cast their gaze upon me - an audiological suspect.
Funny, funny, funny hearing simpletons . . .
