That’s a damn good point that hadn’t occured to me, and that definitely speaks to the privilege of being (mostly) able-bodied. That said though, wouldn’t a hearing loop or similar achieve the same purpose without the headache?

A pair noise cancelling headphones would have an even better effect, and only one person needs to use them in this scenario.
Edit: Sorry I’m still quite surprised you’d expect blind people to wear a hearing aid?
