New here and I'm starting to commute again ...as soon as I get my bike. I'm harding of hearing but without my hearing aids I'm deaf. In the summer I can't wear them while biking so I have 2 large mirrors that I use. In the morning its easy as traffic is light but evenings means I plan another route to get home or even ride the sidewalks. I usually end up walking a bit but thats ok (nutin wrong with walking!)So I was wondering if anyone else here has this situation?
I'm not, however my father is. He's deaf in one ear (the inside was completely scooped out due to a parasite he caught in the ocean and let live in his ear for the better part of 30 years), so he cannot tell where sound comes from, like if you were to yell "Hey I'm over here!" he would have no idea where 'here' is, and if there are multiple sounds going on, he cant easily distinguish which is which. Anyhow, I digress, he commutes to work with a trailer on his bike even, and he relies on three mirrors, and depending on the street he may walk a bit.
