<laugh> I bet I know which ear she's deaf in - the one she cocks when you are talking?
That's me.

Being partially deaf is great for a few reasons. Firstly, when I genuinely can't hear, it is funny half hearing and making up the rest. Secondly, I have a great excuse to not listening to she who must be obeyed. Thirdly, I sleep on my good ear, so have a great night sleep every night :)

<laugh> My dad, who is 87, is really quite deaf in both ears now, and can't hear without a hearing aid. The batteries keep going flat, but funnily enough they seem to go flatter quicker when my mum is talking to him.

I know what level to pitch my voice at when I talk to him, but my mum is always demanding to know why he hears a question from me about Saints, but has no idea what she is saying when she is issuing him with various instructions.
 
As long as you are entitled to a NHS aid, you can get the railcard - really good value.

30% off for you and 1 adult and I think 2 children. All journeys peak/off peak. Sometimes even more with special offers.

From memory, I just sent a photocopy of my NHS battery book off with the application. I have perfect hearing in one ear and about 30% in the other.


EDIT: found the link to eligibility

Thanks for that.
I don't use the train often, but every little helps, as they say.
Will look into getting it sorted.

When father in law was still alive, my two sons would be talking to him then mid sentence start mouthing the words without actually saying them out loud, before speaking properly again.
After watching him fiddle with his aids a few times, they would wet themselves laughing when he went into swear mode at his useless effing hearing aids.
He never seemed to twig that when they stopped talking properly, he could still hear the to in the background.
Kids. Bless them, the little "tods" as he would call them.

Thanks for that info. I'd prefer a bus pass but I'm going to investigate.
 
If you only read this forum one might think that all Saints fans are over 60 (except Onionman junior)

Onionman Jr has just picked up his OAP bus pass. He only looks young because he's lived a virtuous life (just like me; I'm actually 107).
