I'd agree the fuzzy analogy is better since a hearing impaired person may think they understand but they don't, sometimes totally wrong.
I recall reading that vowels are easier to hear than consonants or maybe it is vice versa? "Hello how are you today" may seem like "Hll hw r tdy" which to the hearing impaired person may seem like "How am I tidy?" or something totally incomprehensible but their brain makes up something close (incorrectly) by filling in the blanks.
The Monty Python sketch "I'd like to buy a hearing aid" feels like what I go through daily when trying to communicate with my mother.
I showed it to my mother thought it was funny, sometimes when she thinks she knows what I said but it's not even close it's like the sketch.
