Watch Out When You Can’t Hear the Crickets

When we lived in Boulder, CO, there were times of the year when the crickets were noisy at night. When this kept me awake, I would try different sleeping position. On my back or right side of my head against the pillow they were loud. Then I tried putting the left side of my head against the pillow. The result: the cricket noise disappeared. This wasn’t some miracle. I found out during a hearing exam that I have a deaf zone in my hearing. It turns out this is the frequency of the crickets so the chirping was in the lost part of my hearing.
