'WHAT DID YOU SAY?'


Avid readers of me blog know that the saga of my hearing loss is never ending.  A few days past another chapter was written and want to share it with all of you lovely folks sitting in the dark reading.

A visit to a hearing centre was ordered by the specialist visited in Honolulu.  Doctors always want confirmation of what a patients complains of, it so small wonder that hearing loss would rank right up there as a most testable problem.

The lovely lady who did the test was very good.  She spoke 'loud' and made one feel right comfy at the thought of spending some time in the 'sound proof booth'.

MOI will spare you all of the gory details, it will suffice to say that the instruments at hand in the booth did a most excellent job of documenting just how deaf this old geezer is becoming.

The lovely lady who performed the tests confirmed what this old geezer knew adding more details to ponder.  The left ear is still doing well, whilst the right ear is a loss cause.  There seems to be nerve and conductivity damage.

The good news is that this old geezer will more than like get a brilliant hearing aid for the good ear.  Any boost is a good thing.

There are times this old geezer feels just like the bus driver in the film bit featured.  So much of what is said is missed, or heard incorrectly.  I will tell true, the filmed bit is a giggle, even if the language is a wee bit rough.
