[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1328693, member: 3099"] Huh? I'm sorry I'm half deaf and can't hear what you typed...:uhwhat: Uh yeah, I've got it so bad that I can't hear some high pitched frequencies at all for the most part. The other day the battery backup for my new U-verse was beeping. My wife came in from the other room and asked what was beeping. I said I don't hear any beeping. She was flabbergasted and said that it was LOUD! The battery backup unit sets about 4' from my desk chair in my office and I was sitting in it. I finally saw the blinking light and figured that was it. When I pulled it out from the wall I could hear it a little. She said that I better figure out a way to shut it off because it was driving her nuts. I think that me not being able to hear it was what was driving her nuts. Guns, loud music, heavy machinery, large machine shops, loud cars, drag races, airshows, saws, grinders, air tools, the list goes on and on and on..... I use Peltor Tactical 6 earmuffs when shooting and hear much better with them on than off. I'll probably hunt with them on this year. For some reason I don't really need a fan to get to sleep unless it's hot. I just listen to the ringing and it puts me to sleep. [/QUOTE]
