I only hear on one side too (quite handy liking a lot of old music that was only in mono
). It was simply a virus years ago. It has it's inconvenience but I like to be able to see what's around me. I had a slight loss of vision too in one eye more recently which was more scary! At least with sight I'd be able to watch movies with subtitles and get around.
Big question, would I miss porn more than music
We all adapt to any difficulty but I'd imagine it limits you far more not being able to see at all.
