I have similar hearing loss, though mine is from bad genes. I can’t hear movie voice tracks at any volume. Higher volume just increases the noise. I can piece together conversations, mostly from context. I can’t even listen to stock reports on the radio since I can’t tell the difference between ‘up’ and ‘off’.
I had graduated from college just before the summer of the first human lunar landing. Several of us similarly broke ‘graduates’ went to the apartment of the only person we knew who owned a color TV to watch, even though images from the moon were B&W. It was a once-in-a-lifetime event.
My wife and 3 yo daughter drove from Indianapolis to FLA to watch the launch.
We were back home in time to see the landing on tv.
Yes - quite unforgettable; as we had neighbors in to watch as well.
