I can't understand most of the "No Hearing Loss" track. I am hearing impaired.  It's hard to understand a fast female voice. Couldn't you have at least printed what was said here? That would be a great help!  Larry Jenkins

Hi Larry, Here you are.  I know how frustrating it is that closed captions or text version of spoken news reports are infrequently used, even in a story for the hard of hearing!  The above is from an emily dickinson poem: “Hope” is the thing with feathers - (314); “Hope” is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all ---And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - And sore must be the storm --- That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm - -- I’ve heard it in the chillest land - And on the strangest Sea - Yet - never - in Extremity, It asked a crumb - of me.
