I tell ya that shit gets real old real quick when you tell people you have a hearing loss. I should know I’ve bring at 50% all my life. I’m no snowflake but that will grind my gears PDQ. I stopped telling people for that reason.

I have only started wear hearing aids in the last 5 months. I’ll wear them after work ( when I remember to put them in). It sucks taking them out at night when you go to bed. It hits home how much loss a person has.

It’s ok mate. Hamish is one of my best cobbers. He’s just poking a bit of shit at me. It’s what we do.

But I agree. I didn’t realise how deaf I was. It pissed my kids off, my missus and I didn’t realise the cognitive strain it put me under. I’d be exhausted after work...the strain of listening to people took its toll. I thought I couldn’t hack it but once I got my hearing sides it made a massive difference.

Yes I read down n figured you must know each other. Im past taking that sort of comment now, guess the older I get the less time I have for crap like that. Yes the difference between wearing and not wearing aids is....massive.

Yes I get you on that.

I can’t believe what I can hear now. I often think there is something wrong with my truck, or my dishwasher or the washing machine but it’s just it’s normal noise. I didn’t realise my heat pump made a beeping noise and or how much I had been lip reading people...often with embarrassing consequences.
