I find that some of the stuff I write doesn't make any sense - even to me! It happens more frequently now, and I'm wondering when I'm going to have to stop posting on a2k. What a frightening thought!

welcome to the club :wink: Exclamation

perhaps we should form a special group within a2k ?
what would we call ourselves : "the challenged ones" or do we call ourselves proudly "the senior brigade " ?
my problem gets worse when i post in "deutsch anyone" or send an e-mail to german friends .
that's one of the reasons i usually don't use caps - or i use caps only .
i was never any good at typing and at least i now don't worrry about caps/no caps - got to make life easy Laughing

I have gotten used to the fact that I wear glasses all the time. Have done so for many years, starting in my middle forties. Now my brother (the audiologist) is telling me that he thinks that I might be ready for a HEARING AID!

On the bright side..................Did you know that some of the hearing aid manufacturers are marketing to the baby boomer generation with aids that come in all sorts of cool colors, attempting for people to perceive them as a fashion accessory! There are also gizmos that will work together with the hearing aid as a bluetooth with a phone or even an MP3 player. I am filled with complete ecstacy!

Phoenix--

I went to an audiologist to have my hearing tested. He said I needed hearing aids--both ears--but the wax had to be removed first.

After the wax was gone....so was my hearing problem.

Rub your fingertips together just behind your ear. If you can hear the rustle from the fingerprint ridges rubbing together, you probably don't need hearing aids.

I can hear it if my fingers are touching the back of my ear, but no sound when not touching.

hbg, Your hearing will improve dramatically if you rub two $1,000 bills together, and you won't need that horn.
