After sixty-five, the softer sounds go first, like a child's laughter or the rustle of a saree. It makes you lonely because the world shrinks to only loud noises, and you start to nod at conversations you cannot follow. Here, a basic hearing aid can be ten thousand rupees, but with a government scheme card, it may come down to two or three thousand. I know this because my mother now asks us to repeat everything, and the cost of her medicine means we are still saving for that aid, yaar.
