After 65, the high frequencies go first, so birdsong and children's voices fade, making conversations in a family gathering feel like a muffled radio play and that is a deep loneliness. Government schemes like ADIP can subsidize hearing aids up to 70%, but the good digital ones still cost ₹20,000 upwards out of pocket. My own life contradicts the loneliness, though—my weekly adda at the Gariahat coffee house with my old college friends, where we shout and laugh, keeps my world wonderfully loud.
