Frankly, I wanted to tell the whole gang to pounds sand  I didn’t travel 3000 miles for a bowl of  soup. Where is the nearest submarine sandwich shop Bubba ordinarily, I don’t have a big problem spouting off. If I am not happy I have no filter generally….. ooooooo well happy Friday fellas off to the old grind bob

So Bob, Did you; Eat, Drink or Wear the Soup??🥣

Well, I’m sure the right thing would’ve been to just eat the shit and say nothing then go right out the Dunkin’ Donuts for a nice dessert… Bob

i got my new ears yesterday. it is amazing what i WAS NOT hearing. 

tv volume is now in 9, yesterday morning it was on 32-34.

i hear the furnace, hot water heater, and refrigerator turn on and off. 

and the floors in the 94 year old house creak as i walk around. 

i can also hear cars driving past the house from inside too.. 

on the bad side, i can no longer ignore she who must be obeyed because i did not hear what she said....

it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Good luck with that...  TJC...  Glad you can hear again, sorry about what you will start hearing in the near future.  Hope you are not surrounded by ''Progressive's"   :)

No hearing aids yet, but in a crowd or at a social do I can't hear the person next to me, just mumbling noise and O end up sitting there as a anti social arrogant dick

 

I usually end up our side with the few smokers left in Australia we're I can have a good yarn

I usually don't go we're there's crowds now as it is just awkward

I have a pair of "sound amplifiers" because at the time you could not get "hearing aids" off the internet. They have four settings, speech/noisy room/outdoors/automobile & road noise, just cant remember which one is which. Setting one two three or four! Go to the men's room and stand between the petitions or walk thru a narrow hallway l get alot of feedback noise. Doctor said the left ear was the worst one from driving with the window open for so many years.    .....Hippy

With my hearing aids I can hear ALL the background noise BUT NOT the conversation!!!!!!

my problem was the opposite. background noise blocked out close conversations.

they are currently set to block background noise around 50% so i hear everything about equal.

not really. hearing aids help you hear better....but if your ears are dead, hearing aids will not work. for that, they need to do implants.
