I met a go-go boy in Bangkok many years ago who was partially deaf. I took him out for dinner the next evening and he showed me a newspaper ad for a hearing aid. He was thrilled when I bought it for him because it was a lot smaller than the one he was wearing.
Donatella- I can if its music i could hear when I had more hearing. But some music I can hear although not the full range of it- classical is good. R & B, some rock but most music today I can only hear as noise- the instruments don’t differentiate. If it doesn’t have a strong melody and a heavy bass, it’s just all noise to me.
Not surprised about your friend and your mom. I was the same way until I was forced to get a hearing aid by close friends. It took me a year to get used to “hearing” again- the brain has to be retrained- but one thing I do miss. I used to love the complete silence. I heard no background noise. It was quite beautiful.
“God forbid your food touches theirs. Nowhere else outside new York do they go after that divider with such speed and force!!!”
Nah, it ain’t that dibs, it’s cuz when the cashier get’s carried away and adds your potatoes to the previous customer’s yams at the checkout, then she has to stop everything and yell ‘VOID’ a coupla dozen times, thereby shutting down the whole line.
and dibs, you got your stereotypes backwards. It’s lazy-ass white people that don’t bag groceries.
Does anyone know India, the Puerto Rican singer? Holy Moly, that woman can sing. Or could sing. She has this pull out all the stops singing style that is electrifying but that poor girl will sound like Froggy in a few years. A complete screamer, you rip up your vocal chords.
