Can you repeat that please...slowly. AND DON'T SHOUT!
Do you remember Uncle Staveley in Peter Tinniswood's "I didn't know you cared"? He was the lovable old geezer who repeatedly said " I heard that, pardon!" Well I've been a bit like that for a time now. I do hear that something is being said but not hearing what has been said. My hearing test today has confirmed my suspicions i.e. that I have lost the ability to hear high frequency sounds. This is the frequency range that carries all the consonant sounds, the esses and tees and pees that make speech intelligible. I have to go back for more tests in a couple of weeks and then hearing aids will be programmed for me to try out.
The good news is that Marilyn's hearing is fine so she has no excuse not to hear me...whereas I can honestly? say " I didn't hear you my precious" :)
