I never dreamed years ago that losing your hearing would be such a handicap. Boy can it be frustrating. Especially young girls on the phone when they call to tell you of a dentist or doctor appointment. They talk with a higher pitch voice and they talk so fast it's impossible to make out what they're saying. I use the wife as an interpreter or just let her make the calls. I tell them my problem and to speak louder and slower and it works for about two or three words and they're right back to their fast talking. Geez, or they repeat themselves without raising their voice. I tell them you can repeat yourself all day long. but until you raise your voice I CAN'T HEAR YOU. It does little good. So fell'as, those of you that can still hear, do all you can to keep your hearing. And you guys that have responded, thanks for helping me out on choosing a pair of muffs. It's appreciated. BCM
