This only makes sense if Art's hearing or Art's listening
environment is so atypical that no other person's hearing or
listening environment would be relevant. IOW, it suggests
that Art's hearing has become vastly degraded due to his age
and personal activities, and that his home audio system is
full of masking noises and distortions.

hear.

Note that Art can't comprehend of any other individual
having the same serious hearing problems that he has.

Agreed - given that retail outlets and manufacturer's have
strong economic incentives to give people favorable
preconceptions about the products they sell.

At last Art correctly perceives that one of the benefits of
DBTs is that they can help identify and reduce or elminate
the effects of preconceptions.
