Tangential: as somebody with congenital hearing loss who's worn hearing aids since I was a little kid, the pivot to mostly digital communications has been a serious benefit for me -- even with modern hearing aids, there are many acoustically bad (for me) physical meeting rooms and speakers whom I just can't hear in person, but I can hear just as well as everybody else over Zoom/Meet/Facetime.

Interesting. I said the same to my manager a while back in a 1:1. Basically the whole remote/digital thing has been a real equalizer for me. I can do far better now in some ways with communications.
