As an adolescent in Fayette (Maine), I had great fun helping out our neighbors with summertime tree-pruning parties. FWIW we had few power issues during winter, and our winters frequently featured 4-6 feet of snow cover.
Yes, when I saw eg Golang people use table driven tests like this, I was wondering why nobody seems to have told them about generating these tables automatically..
to be honest, you;'d have the same issues with that said magic wand and normalcy, because hearing aids do amplify sound and allow you to hear everythig.
You'd have the same issue, if not more, with background noise, group settings and context acquisition
Processing input is the hard part, if you're already having issues, that isn't going to go away
If they've been deaf from infancy, basically the entire hearing center of the brain is non-existent. So they'd be hearing sound, but processing it into meaningful content would not happen, if at all. So basically, its like having a cacophany of sound that you can't filter and process...
As for others, one thing hearing people, particularly monolingual hearing people, don't understand very well is that hearing != understanding. Just because you hear a sound doesn't automatically equate to it having meaning. The default for many people is to just SPEAK LOUDER and slower, which does not help in the vast majority of encounters
