A pair of deaf old buggers

Steve and I both have hearing problems, Steve's are made worse by his refusal to wear his hearing aids unless he is going out.

We both need a referral to the hearing unit.

Steve received a letter in February saying an appointment would be made for him, so I chased it up today as the letter had been filed without an appointment being made.

I have enquired about the telephone appointment I am expecting but was told that at my age I'm not a priority!

When you go with him to the hearing aid appointment ask again. You never know.

I'm 50 and I've been a hearing aid wearer for 20 years. I'm now at the stage where I really struggle with the phone. Always amazed me when the hospital audiology department phone you or require you to phone them as so many deaf/hard of hearing people struggle with phones. The last time I had an appointment there the audiologist came out and called me by name. Good job I took my daughter with me or else I'd never know it was my name she was mumbling.

Walking with a list on.

Y'day I had to take my stick to lean on when I went out, today I don't need my stick but I can't walk in a straight line. Nemmin...
