As usual, Doug, your stories would keep an audience’s attention for hours. I laughed out loud at your discussion with the deaf person. Talking to my husband is like that, so I am used to repeating myself, and now almost have to go up to his ear and yell in order for him to hear me. At a Kiwanis meeting one time, I was setting up the TV screen for the computer, and the President of the group asked me something. I told her, and she didn’t hear me and asked again. After the third or forth time, I yelled my answer, and I knew it sounded a bit harsh when the entire room got very quiet and stared at me.

My wife hasn’t had to start yelling yet but perhaps one day soon, given my deteriorating hearing. 😉 I wrote a piece about it once. https://sixcrookedhighways.com/2019/07/10/stable-martial-relations/

Can’t be as bad as my poor husband. In the service he was a translator, and wore earphones all day. He was stationed in Puerto Rico where there is a lot of thunder and lightning. You can imagine what happened when thunder struck the towers. He about passed out from the sound.
Being a roady probably wasn’t too easy on your hearing! 🙂
