I am really having a laugh over this. Better laughing than crying, right? My ex-husband is hard of hearing, although he claimed he wasn't. I think he has ex-husbanditis and when we were married had husbanditis. That is--irk your spouse by making her/him repeat. A sign of disrespect for sure. He didn't say, "Ay? Wot yer say!" He would say, "What's zat?" I got smart and just stopped repeating myself. Let him wonder..... Marilyn

Was he in denial? Did he need hearing aids? Thanks for the review.

Lazy, I think and disrespect. No one else is asked to repeat.

Probably right.
Comment from Thal1959
A charming little entrée into the world of old geezer afflictions. Naturally, the next thing will be bladder problems, so lay in a big supply of "Depends," Geoff. Of course, that leads us to the immortal question... "If an old man pees in his pants, buts doesn't hear it, does he get wet?"

haha good one did you notice the awful Fs gaff in "entrance" was it? Thanks for coming by again, mate. Don't worry have had some times with the incontinence on both ends sadly.

I know the drill. My mind is sometimes my own worst enemy as it often times tries to induce me into a wet dream. To make matters worse, its taunting me with an occasional "muddy" dream where I almost poop in my pants at night. I haven't actually done it yet, but sometimes I think if ISIS cut my head off - they'd be doing me a favor. Oy Vey!
Comment from Irish Rain
I've worked in so many factories, among loud machinery before I went back to waitressing...it really affected my hearing. I got used to 'just pretending'...and hoped I wasn't agreeing to anything illegal, ha ha. Blessings...

Thanks, I started a response to your other review but either my phone or FS was messing me around. We are up to week 7 with my wife in hospital. Thanks again.

Hope she is doing better? Prayers for her...
Comment from ExperiencingLiphe
I've had people come through my line at work, I work retail, and tell me that my voice is too high for their hearing aids or something like that as they adjust their hearing aids to better fit my voice. I thought the guy was being a jerk until the second and third people told me that same thing. lol. I pity my husband when or if he needs hearing aids because I can't change the way my voice sounds. Hope today is a good hearing day

Comment from sunao
Thank you so much for sharing. I did not know that you are hard of hearing. I am glad that you can express yourself through writings. In this modern day and age, people including myself are so used to wearing headphones or earphones. I think that this will cause a lot of hearing loss in the future so I really have to take care of my ears. Thank you for reminding me this. Please keep up with the good work and have a fantastic day

Thanks SIs, I appreciate your kind review. I am not sure if any reward was available on this, but I hope so. Thanks again.

My dad is hard of hearing too. He comes up with some interesting things, that he misinterprets. It makes for a good laugh though! Good poem and dialect.

Thanks Sis. Have a look back at some of the dumb reviews. A new poem is being born out of them.

You're welcome. I'll go check them out. Always great when you can find new material! LOL
Comment from Ben Colder
If I pull the plugs from my ears I hear nothing. Although I have been accused of having selective hearing. LOL. Still laughing, Ah, what ya say!

hey Bro yeah we have all been accused of Selective hearing Loss. I think they are rude. Father in law is in denial he has recently suffered hearing loss. He won't get hearing aids and he reckons the Mother in law is mumbling. Thanks mate.
Comment from Sasha
I sympathize with anyone with hearing problems. I have poor hearing in my right ear but my left is fine. My mother had very poor hearing and would too often pretend to hear me when I was speaking to her. When referring to something I said she often replied, "I don't remember you telling me that." I tried to convince her to stop pretending to hear me but to no avail. She was too proud to admit she had a problem AND refused to wear her hearing aids.

Yes Sasha the olds all refuse to wear their hearing aids. They are in denial and dowanna admit they have lost their hearing. Father in law has recently gone a bit deaf but he accuses Mum in law of Mumbling and will not get hearing aids. Also a tight retired accountant ha. By the way you might be interested to know I am joining you with the rants and raves department. Keep your eyes open for a bit rant coming real soon. Thanks for the great review.
Comment from Thomas Bowling
This reminds me of the woman who thought her husband was losing his hearing. She walked behind him and asked, Can you hear me? No reply so she said it louder. Still no reply. She tries again. This time shouting. Can you hear me.
The husband said, Yes, for the third time, yes.

haha Father in law has recently had a decline i hearing but he is in denial and accuses Mum in law of Mumbling. The old folks will not either obtain or if they have them...wear hearing aids. Some pride thing. Watch out I have a big rant/rave coming. Thanks for the great review mate.
Comment from royowen
Dear Geoff, I'm sorry for your hearing loss, it's usually the intricacy of pitch that is missed the most, I'm one of the fortunate ones, although age may have taken some toll. My hearing is still great. Well done, Geoff, beautifully and amusingly written my friend, well done, blessings, Roy

Here's hoping for restoration of healing Geoff.
