Approximately 15% of American adults (https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/statistics/quick-statistics-hearing) (37.5 million) aged 18 and over report some trouble hearing. The evidence is clear that early identification and diagnosis leads to better outcomes. There are many places that you can do an initial online hearing screening (https://www.phonak.com/hearingtest/29dfj0/welcome?Brand=Phonak&Country=US&Language=EN) for free, but if you have any doubt, see an ENT doctor, an audiologist, or a hearing aid specialist. If you are an appellate lawyer dealing with hearing loss, let me know about your experience. Special thanks to Kelley Hoffman for voiceover work on this episode. The oral argument was a simulation of ... kind of ... what it sounded like to me, but it's very hard to replicate what I hear. And in case you were wondering, the OA still went well, and my client did prevail on the appeal.

Dineen is the founder of the Florida Appellate Procedure Blog (https://floridaappellate.com).
