Bendigo 1,255 Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago After a lifetime of shooting and loud noises it turns out my ears are knackered. 16-17 year old loading on driven shoots and nobody thought to suggest I protect my hearing. Shooting fallen stock in stables and cow sheds. Attending raves and night clubs. Jobs fcked now. Deaf as a post So along with a massive bald spot and my new pair of glasses I'm going for the holy trinity of being a old sad wanker. Never again able to attract fit young women (I was never that good at that anyway to be honest). Anybody else wear em? Are expensive private ones better than the NHS ones I'm waiting for. Bizarrely I can hear geese half a minute before anyone else though! Strange Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 9,761 Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago I wear them. NHS ones are just as good as private. They supply Bluetooth ones now with an app. Brilliant. I've also got a tiny box which connects my hearing aids direct to the telly. Since you are obviously getting on a bit. I can give lots of advice on the ageing process. Industrial strength Viagra, wicker coffins, Tena for men, best pills for arthritis and the cost of installing a bidet. I'm always here for you. 1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aussie Whip 4,338 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago An old mate, 86 is always going back and getting his hearing aids adjusted or replaced. You can hear his TV half way up the street, lol. The batteries don't last long. Between that and his bad eyesight he's having a hard time but I think it's more that he's just really old and everything is failing more than the quality of his hearing aids and glasses. I think it's more brain related. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
