Ever noticed the wave of calm that descends when you switch the fan off from high speed when it has been necessary (to prevent misting up) whilst negotiating/pulling out at a busy junction when it is raining hard and visibility is poor?!

This seems to be the case with people who are profoundly deaf. My wifes late uncle was profoundly deaf and only had one eye, but his observation was way better than most people with full hearing and eyesight.

You have perception beyond your years.

I hope I never end up buying a used car from someone who has refused to use the aircon on principle...
