"Not being able to see isolates you from objects. Not being able to hear isolates you from people" (Imanuel Kant)

Hearing fulfils several purposes; it is essential for verbal communication not only do we hear words but also the nuances in tone which often determine the exact meaning and for the acquisition of speech.

Because they are larger, can accommodate bigger batteries for longer life and larger amplifiers for maximum amplification.
