This is an opinion column by Swann Barrat, who is a professional sound technician in Vancouver. That's why losing my hearing was one of the things I feared the most as a professional sound technician. I didn't know of any other sound technician who worked with hearing aids. I was on tour with Canadian songwriter Jill Barber in 2019 when she saw me change my hearing aids batteries. Their support helped me change my relationship with my hearing loss and allow me to uncover my feelings toward it.
