A 'bit deaf'

I joined in a recent thread by a lady (or woman!) whose husband's hearing was bad, but who wouldn't admit to it.
Its been slowly working its way into my head that I'm always telling grandson off for mumbling, and that at work, if someone asks me something as they're passing, I have to try and guess what they said. blush
When I went for a court hearing, the judge was lovely, but once he opened his laptop I couldn't work out what he was saying because only the top of his face showed over the lid.
In short, I think I'm a tiny bit deaf.
Is there anyone else who may also be just a touch deaf?

"now I have to phone the docs so they can refer me for hearing aids. "
That's what makes me delay doing anything, MissA. Family members nag me to get hearing aids.
There are so many other things I ought to phone the docs for, more tests to arrange, etc. I need to prioritise.
I've already got a hernia repair soon, get that over first.

It does seem to be a bit of a palava, fennel.
I'm the first to just leave things if I consider I'm too busy.
Hopefully you'll include sorting out your hearing when you've crossed off other things from your 'to do' list.
