I think it was in second grade when, without explanation, a teacher guided me to a room where another kid had headphones on and was holding up one finger or no fingers in response to something. I thought it was a radio and we were supposed to hear music. All I heard was this beep so I never lifted a finger. The lady examining me sure looked puzzled. Good thing I wasn't transferred to a school for the deaf!
