Yes, aging is definitely no fun. I am 77 years old and I am losing my hearing rapidly. My wife is 71 and she wears hearing aids when she goes out mostly. So, you can imagine what kind of conversations we have while watching TV. Just the other night I thought she told me to "stand up" so I stood as quickly as I good, I thought she saw a spider or something. Well, she really said "shut up" so when I stood up very fast she thought I was really mad and one thing led to another after that.

I am basically home-bound, so I have decided to try a a pair of those over-the-counter hearing aids from Amazon just to keep peace in the family. Wish me luck every one or I am a dead man....See ya, I hope...Bill

Oh my gosh so sorry as hearing loss isn’t funny but you gave me my first chuckle of the morning! Good luck.

Oh, my goodness @willie23 I hope the OTC hearing aids do help!
I wish I could get my husband to try them. I have a severe to profound loss but he, as he has aged, is not hearing very well and he knows his hearing has diminished. He just brushes me off though when I suggest he try some OTC hearing aids. I guess I need to try harder but knowing my husband I doubt he will change his mind.
