Once a month we have lunch , someplace. three months in a row , I had to ask the restaurant to lower the volume on the speakers above our heads. this month all three other fella's said that they did not even hear the music, did not know it was on ! insinuated that I might be a candy ass. 70 minutes later I asked if any of them wear their ears when they are mowing the yard, guess what not one of them wears hearing protection, "no never, don't need too"  2) over 60 , 2) over 65 years old. WHAT !? have a good time with those hearing aids Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency. Neck Ties, Hats and ammo brass, Never ,ever touch'em w/o asking first | ||

A old friend who is a Korean War Vet, jumped out of his mini van to catch his cat, Skippy. The van continued on into a pond. He swore his hearing aid went down with the van. Insurence was billed near 2 grand for a new hearing aid. He later found his old hearing aid in his house. Ginsing and eye glasses would have saved his insurence some money. That and being responsible. | |||

I put in ear buds and play loud music to drown out the lawn mower. | |||

Same thing I do, not sure how much better it is for hearing, but makes mowing more enjoyable. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

Ya, but it's high quality music like Frank Sinatra and Perry Como, not that trashy rock and roll stuff.

I'd rather listen to an old two-stroke lawn mower than Gene Pitney! -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

My memories of hearing aids began in my youth, maybe 60 years back. My grandma had one, about the size of a suitcase. She never bothered to turn it on. So my uncle managed to convince my dad to buy her a new, modern model. Notice it wasn't his money he was spending. So they got it and she never bothered to turn it on, even as much as it cost. She again insisted it didn't work. Fast forward to my wife a few years ago. She kind of mysteriously was going to doctors appointments. Sure enough she bought one for herself. She still couldn't hear for shit. So she "upgraded" to an even more modern model. And I still have to repeat myself at least twice and often as not, a third time. My conclusion, they still don't work. Its just an income source for salesmen that have quit selling aluminum siding or windows. Unhappy ammo seeker | |||

I thought you were going to say he swore the aid went down with the van but he was wearing it the entire time. _____________ | |||
