Illuminated - Hearing Aids - BBC Sounds Poet Paul Farley faces up to the fact that it’s time to address his hearing loss.

If you know someone struggling with their hearing, Paul Farley's poetic journey will help in understanding what they're going through. I hope there's a transcript for people who can't really hear audio & haven't made the transition to super phone-streaming hearing aids.

Illuminated - Hearing Aids - BBC Sounds Poet Paul Farley faces up to the fact that it’s time to address his hearing loss.

A surprisingly lovely documentary in which Liverpool poet Paul Farley comes to terms with his hearing loss and the prospect of hearing aids. Also great to hear such Scouse phrases as “made up” and “give it a swerve” in a BBC doc. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
