I did not know that rain make pitter patter or that birds chirp chirp. Could not believe it when I first hear it with HAs. I was ---> WOW!!
 
I remember when my parents told me to try to breath quieter because I breath pretty loud in the stores. :lol:
 
Did you know that diesel engines idle pretty loud. When I wore hearing aids, I could hear it idling next to my car. It sounded like chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug....lo

The wind. I didn't hear it until I was 17, and had canalplasty. (reconstruction of the ear canal)
Shoshana, I used to be able to do a dead on imitataitoon of the emegency broadcast system with the feedback from my hearing aids.

Yes! Wind make a 'whoosh' 'whirling' noise. I imagine in my head that this might be what a ghost sound like.:giggle:

I didn't know the air conditioner in the house made a sound until I had my first HA. I was in my room then I heard this vibrating sound and I was like "HUH?". I asked my mom about it and she said it was the A/C. I can't hear it anymore though so it doesn't bother me.

I also didn't know cats purring made a sound until someone made a comment that my cat was purring loudly. At first I was like "The cat is sleeping, it's not making any noise." They said that the cat was purring, they could hear it. Before that, I thought it was just a vibration thing that cats did when they were being petted. (and now I've got vibrating pussies stuck in my head! :rofl:)

Crazy! I can feel kitties purring but did not know it make sound. I'll have to dust off my HAs and try it out.

I have ringing in my ears sometime and I ask kids if they can hear it. They cannot. :giggle:

There were too many complaints from the American public about sonic booms. Flying at the speed that produces them is now limited.

:ty: I've always wondered. It was in the early sixties while I was living as a child near Tinker Air Force Base (near Oklahoma City) that I recall the sonic booms. Boy, they would rattle windows but we became used to them. :giggle:
 
Yes, he's kidding. It's only in Disney movies where butterflies and hearts and flowers move around with full orchestra accompaniment. ;-)
