[QUOTE="Steely, post: 448779, member: 3301"] Star - I know EXACTLY how you feel - exactly. The person who cannot hear has no idea, the impact it has on their loved ones. When I went to visit my dad back in Jan., I walked into the kitchen and it was freaking charade. My dad talks to my mom. No answer. Then he talks to her again, in a louder voice. No answer. Then, again, louder - and she says - what, what did you say??? OK really? "Mom, Dad said "where's the salt?" I yell even louder. OMG this went on for almost 30 minutes before I said - STOP! Mom, TODAY, we are going to get you hearing aides, or I cannot stay here. This is madness! She still forgets to wear them, and the minute she says "what?" I am like where are your hearing aides Mom, please put them in. Otherwise it is an entire day of her either flat out not hearing me, or saying "what" all the time. I can imagine how happy you must be to be able to communicate with husband again - YAY!!!! And I bet, like my Mom, you are probably happier than he is:) [/QUOTE]
