So today I had a hearing test.
Turns out we were right - since having Aiden, my hearing has done the impossible - it's gotten better.
The difference is relatively small; about 5 decibels change in the threshold, at the exact frequency range of a child's voice. But for a measurement that's been unchanged all my life to suddenly improve? That's significant.
Nifty, ain't it?

It actually leaves me wondering if anyone's done formal research into hearing changes in new mothers, with or without hearing loss.
I remember reading an article in Scientific American showing that female mammals became much more competent at a wide range of things after motherhood. :-)
I see you friended me. *grin* I might humbly suggest that you might find
memegarden interesting. She is a member of both our extended communities and has also recently had a baby, though a little less recently (by a few months I think) than you.
is this maybe part of a neuro-hearing issue rather than cilia (?)
Body: Hey, we're having a baby. That's neat.
Hearing: Yup.
Body: I bet it would be cool if you could hear the baby better when it's crying, you think?
Hearing: That would be useful, definitely.
Body: I think something could be arranged....
LY,
