ABSTRACT
An ear is for listening, and for the lucky few, listening to music is their job. But an ear is for much more-lose your hearing, and besides not hearing music, you lose your connection with other people. Hearing is the sense most related to learning and communication, and is the sense that connects you to ideas and other people. Helen Keller, who lost both her sight and hearing at a young age, said that hearing loss was the greater affliction for this reason.
