What??? What did you say?????
I am so deaf from listening to first, my husband's rock bands when we were dating in the'60's (need I say more...remember the "long versions" of the 60's songs), then playing my Contempory Christian music (esp. Supertones, DC Talk, Newsboys) LOUD in our van. Aimee' wears ear plugs when I play my music. Then the girls will laugh at Terry and I talking loud to each other 'cause we can't hear. Gads, you got to keep a sense of humour.
I think I lost 30% of my hearing at an "Allies" Concert in the '80's and the lead singer then was the "Butterflies and Kisses" guy...what was his name? Memory is not so good either.
2J...don't sweat it, honey, if they got a problem with you because of your hearing problem, then THEY got a problem, not you.

BTW, hey everybody!

I know you're right. I need to just tell people I guess, but it's awkward when I'm with a bunch of people I don't know to just come out and say "Hey! I'm deaf as a post and if you say something and I either 1. ignore you or 2. answer you inappropriatly...just REPEAT what you said!" LOL
