A 'bit deaf'

Think I possibly am MissA. The only time I notice it is at work. I'm in a large, open plan office and if someone at the far end of the room speaks to me, I have to put my glasses on to hear them. I know this sounds most odd but if I can see them clearly (and I'm very short sighted), I can hear well enough. But they do mumble a lot!

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?
