Hey Ken, Sorry to hear of your family's health challenges... you'll be in our prayers. Although hearing aids can be problematic and are expensive, they're essential. My dad started suffering hearing loss about 20 years ago... bought a hearing aid and refused to wear it. A few years later, Ma talked him into buying a better one and he refused to wear that one. Now, he's all but deaf and is suffering alzheimers/dementia. We've talked to doctors (and rely on our personal experience) and have come to the realization that dad's not being able to hear has accelerated his condition. Specifically, not being able to hear, dad was less and less inclined to try to take part in conversations. He'd just sit in his chair and stare at the tv (although he couldn't hear it). With his lack of hearing, he has basically isolated himself into his own little world and is no longer in touch with reality. Most days, he doesn't even recognize me... sometimes doesn't recognize ma. Sorry for the long dissertation, but I can't stress enough, the importance of keeping everyone in the family healthy. Hope someone else doesn't have to experience the things we've gone through the last couple years. Sorry I can't recommend a specific brand of hearing aid, but it's extremely important that you find one! All the best... HTH! ...D

Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
