Something else to consider: Being hearing impaired would be a distinct advantage in going to a Vegas casino. The few times I have gone to Vegas, it took several days after returning home to stop hearing ringing bells and Elvis singing "Viva Las Vegas" in my head.
No, no, sir, it has the opposite effect.
For me, lights, colors, movement, are "noise," and sometimes it gets too "loud," leaving one with headaches.
Fortunately not lingering ones, but they do happen.
The only "special accommodation" I've ever requested, in job interviews, for example, is that the interview be held in a small closed room, or barring "small," a conference room. There's not so much "noise," so much distraction, and so one can pay attention to the person doing the interviewing.
The
worst interview I ever had was with the dean of a college; I had made the same reasonable request, but for some reason she ignored it, and the interview was held in her office. Her office, in the manner of college professors who think it's cool, it's hip, it's trendy, it's with it, to work among clutter, was in considerable chaos and disarray, things heaped from the floor to the ceiling.
That was a very "noisy" office, and I got confused easily, and flubbed the interview.
And one Hell of a headache before it was even over.
Too much stuff, as one desperately scrambles around, trying to decipher what is important, and what is not important.
