WHAT HEARING PROBLEM

This is a post on my Facebook 5 years ago.  I cannot resist sharing it here on my blog.

January 13, 2013
Is this a "senior moment" or a hearing problem? I had a delightful lunch with Chelle yesterday. She had met me in Tulsa to go to my CT Scan. I had misunderstood several things people were saying to me and my daughter kept murmuring under her breath, "miracle ear, miracle ear". As the waiter approached our table for the third time, he said something and I burst out laughing. My daughter immediately knew I had not heard clearly what he said. Quickly she handed him my menu and said thank you then to me: "Mother, the waiter said 'Do you want me to take your menu' What did you think he said?" and I replied "Do you want me to come home with you?"

  1. Well, was he good looking? Was it a hearing problem, an old age thing or perhaps just wishful thinking?

    1. I am sure he was good looking but more than half my age. My story was funny but your comment was funnier. LOL

  2. Have you gotten a Miracle Ear since? I have misheard some things myself, none half as funny!

    1. I don't want to spend money on a hearing aid because everyone I know that has one doesn't use it for very long. They are very, very expensive.

  3. Are you sure your daughter heard correctly? Sounds to me like he was hitting on you.

  13. Now I can't stop giggling - ears that hear are good to have.
    I do wear my new ones now and again. I find I'm enjoying any tv I watch more now I can actually understand what they are saying :)

    1. Cathy, I rely on closed captioning unless kids and grandkids are here. They hate it. I don't see why.

  18. Well, it’s now 5 years later. I’m wondering how your hearing is doing? I think sometimes I should be tested but every friend I have that got a hearing aid lets it home in the drawer. I just tell my Grands to speak louder! Bob and I are getting accustomed to saying! “What?” to each other.

    1. Ron used to accuse me of speaking badly and I used to accuse him of being deaf. Seems we both had a problem. LOL I would say my hearing is still poor but it is rare anyone is around to notice.

  19. I was here ages ago - unable to comment from home for some weird reason. I do an old lady bad hearing joke constantly at work, by saying What I thought it was out loud. Like: "You want me to Whack you? Ok hold still" When they want a rack.

  20. Oh my gosh! That is so hilarious! I hear better than my husband and often have to repeat things for him since he often forgets his 'miracle ears'.
