The fun side of being nearly deaf

[criticalbass]

For me, life is a near-deaf experience.

I am so deaf I can no longer hear the voices in my head.

Sadly, both of these statements are close to the truth.

Anybody else have something funny to add relating to hearing loss?

A friend's dad is deaf, but he lovvvves bass.
He has an amazing sub system in his truck.
Now if you've seen his dad, he's bald, and loves to wear suspenders. He looks like an old church deacon.

So I'm sitting at a stop light and I hear the thooom, thoom, thoom thoom of a sound system, and I look over and it's his dad! He bouncing all over the place jamming to 50 Cent or something like that.
Awesome.

Huh? Speak up.

Well, I don't think it's very funny but I have to repeat everything I say to GC three times. The first time I say something I get nothing. No response at all. The second time he will turn his head towards me and say "Huh?" The third time ... GAH!!!! ... I get it spit out AGAIN!! ... and he responds "Well, you don't have to yell at me!"

He's gonna wring my neck for telling y'all this ...

So far, I have nothing funny about being near-deaf. Or, half-blind. Or, ----never mind.

Easy to use as an excuse when tuning the wife out.

Many moons ago, I managed a retail store for a major electronics company. I had two young men come in one day to listen to the kickers that our company sold. He spoke of them not being very loud. I mentioned that it might not be a good idea for one to be listening to really loud music as it would be likely to damage their hearing. Even though he was only three feet away from me, he turns and says, "Huh?"

His friend, who was six feet away from me, said, "Dude, I heard the guy perfectly."

At least I made my point to his friend.

Well, BB. That is what you get for "living with the LAW." Now, if you were like the wife and I, we live in an RV and could stay one step ahead of the LAW.

Heh....I just thought of it, but we seem to have the ultimate "bug-out-bag."

Then if you haven't, gitcher young hide to somebody who is expert in hearing meds. There are some advances being made, and you need to preserve what you have. CB
