Wow, you’ve got it right….our case has the other half of the story….he’s been sitting around for years compensating for his hearing loss. Finally gets the hearing aids and the TV can come down to a regular volume….problem is solved for him and turned over to me !! For years I complained the TV was too loud, now it’s at normal volume I discovered I can’t hear it so I’m asking the “keeper of the remote” to turn it up a bit please. Ain’t getting old fun😀😀
Great analysis,Fred. You ve really captured the slippery slope into Old, whatever s the first body part to go.
I don t have a wife or even a husband, just a dog who does tell me what he decides I need to hear. Repeatedly until I get it. Whether it s a treat for himself or something past time I m supposed to be doing, he s relentless. It s been working out well but I know I m losing decibels. One of these days I ll get it checked. So many other things ahead of it.
But just be aware, with aging the first biggie is just the thin edge of the wedge.
Love ya, Fred. I spent years getting my husband to get help for his poor hearing, but eventually he discovered (!) that it wasn't me, after all. So far, my ears are still working well, but it is only a matter of time until he starts to mutter softly............Been there, done that. Liz

The trick is just keep moving.
A super lesson!
Glad the tumour is not at issue at present & the annual monitoring has started 👍
Thanks, Fred!
Hahaha - I get accused of mumbling all the time, yet my dad still refuses to get a hearing test. He’ll be 92 in August - a true old geezer.
