But when I next see my doctor in 2 months time I suppose I could mention it. I know only too well how reluctant people can be to admit that they've any problem, and it would certainly be unusual to have someone at my age experiencing no deterioration at all. <br /><br />As for TV, I'm always conscious that mine should never be so loud as to disturb the neighbours - yet I can often here my downstairs neighbour's TV playing so loud that I can make out every word, and know which channel he is watching. (The neighbour is 20 years younger than I am!)<br /> <br />Btw If you haven't seen it yet I do hope that 'Monsters' is in your 'queue'. Well worthwhile watching.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-24374520478132674212011-05-20T05:05:16.905-07:002011-05-20T05:05:16.905-07:00It's definitely the iPods causing the hearing ...It's definitely the iPods causing the hearing problems among today's youth. However, I fear you have hearing problems of your own. Perhaps your self-diagnosis is flawed, and it's time for a professional evaluation.<br /><br />My father-in-law (Greg's Dad) is losing his earing and refuses to admit it. He has to have the TV blasting to hear it and accuses everyone else of being deaf. I've learned to make sure I speak up and always face him so he can watch my mouth. Someday he'll see a professional... oh who am I kidding. He never will.<br /><br />I love alien invasion films. I put this one in my Netflix queue. It will be at least a year until I see it, as I have 81 other films in the queue. LOLCubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12659801291785890663noreply@blogger.com
