Besides being washed over by a wall of white noise sound in the room, the 
inability to hear parts of conversation is one of the first indications of 
high frequency hearing loss, just like you probably can no longer hear that 
high pitched sound that most TV sets emit.

Differentiating between "s" and "z", "t" and "d", "f" and "v", etc. becomes 
more difficult as high freq hearing loss progresses.

Fortunately, the frequencies involved are too far above the piano range to 
affect tuning.

So, you _can_ be a deaf piano tuner... ;-}}}
