Either that, or find a way to keep your hearing aid in. There's a guy in my dojo who has blood sugar problems and is deaf in one ear, and still shows up every chance he gets. Such is his devotion...
It'd be the same as if you went to the Aikikai Hombu- you wouldn't be able to make out all of what they were saying (with some exceptions for those are fluent), but I would think you would learn a lot...
Kanpai,
