Hmm. Don't you think I'm agreeing with you?

Remember that I've been wearing hearing aids for
40 plus years, due to being the child of smokers.

I don't remember you posting about hearing aids, but maybe you did.
Seems like I read someone posted about it.

How much hearing loss do you have?

I don't have the percent number, but it's about
-50 dB. When I don't have my hearing aids in, I
can hear the computer speaker if I hold it an
inch from my ear. I can hear low notes like the
garbage truck going down the road. I am aware that
people are talking, but not sure what they are
saying. It's frustrating.

I can't hear an equal amount of low and high tones and most of the
beginnings of words w/o the h.aids. When I have them in they are turned
up fairly loud and everything is loud including background noise
(motors, wind, air moving) Everything is jumbled together like one
gigantic mishmash of sound and I have to pick out the voices. I hear
sounds that I've never heard before and don't know what they are or
where they're coming from and have to ask someone what it is.
It's all frustrating.

Yep, that does sound madenning. Wish any thing
could be done about it, too.

I think we all understood her intent to be "reeked".
