Studies show that taking photos not only changes the way we experience the moment, but can also change how we recall that moment in the future. When taking a picture, you are relying on the camera to remember for you, so you don't spend much time thinking about it. It removes the engagement and emotional reaction that would help process, and later aid in recalling, these experiences because you have put the responsibility on the camera.
"As amazing as technology is, it cannot compare to what the brain is capable of with input from the eyes and ears."
If you have hearing loss, do you know any other people with the same issues, or who may struggle the way you do? In a recent article, Gael Hannan writes, "for a happier, more accessible life, check out an event of people with hearing loss." Gael talks sense of community, understanding, and new outlooks on hearing loss when spending time with others who identify with this group. "It’s very liberating. I know, because it happened to me."
