Your husband and I could be best friends because I also have poor hearing and can do the same thing with motorcycles with a pretty high success rate.
We can sit in the same room not talking. Then one of us will think the other said something and yell “Huh?”. The other will loudly reply “What?”. Then that’ll go on for several minutes until we both smile and nod.
😂 that happens sometimes with TV voices. He’ll think I said something and I just look at the TV like…“Yeah that was them.” He does wear hearing aids, which work well 95% of the time. That 5% when they don’t work can be ROUGH.
I consider myself hard of hearing, but only at certain frequencies. I can hear lower (bass) sounds much better than mid range sounds; high pitch sounds hurt like a mother!
I have a very bad sense of smell - not sure if it’s technically anosmia but if not it’s close - but the few things I can smell, I can smell very well and usually identify pretty quickly.
I can identify make and model but NEVER the year.
But my mostly-deaf husband can identify motorcycles BY SOUND (or lack thereof).
There are generations. Like the same body style for several years.
