Absolutely nothing to do with anything that s gone on before

But if your hearing gets worse as you get older how come the music in the shops gets louder and louder?

It's one of the inexplicable afflictions that nature bestows upon us as we get older, like losing hair where it should be and gaining it in places it shouldn't be. This could be the start of a very good blog ..............................

I used to work in a care home for residents with debilitating dementia. They never knew their own names, never mind anyone in their family; couldn't remember if they'd had any visitors, seconds after visitors leaving; couldn't remember eating - even with a half finished plate of food in front of them..... so, what I'd like to know ..... Is how the heck were they able to remember to push that buzzer when they needed assistance, eh? Worked there for five years, no one was able to answer that question.....

This takes me back to a previous blog of mine when I questioned 'Selective memory'

[wellman2 in reply to jandan]

I think that goes along with legs because stars never seemed that steep before

When do you stop looking chique and get the mutton dressed as lamb look. Used to be OK but daughter doesn't live here anymore. I realise the Gaga wig says I have not grown up but that was for a reason!

I think they play all the boom boom music the children like the noise would not be so bad if they played real music as loud as they liked and we can sing along with real tunes.

[wellman2 in reply to Hidden]

I d probably scare all the customer s away if I started singing still they might pay me to go away could be a little earner.

I was feeling quite giddy and unwell recently and went to see my GP amongst other things I asked him to have a look into my ears.Nothing wrong with them all clear.I insistead that there was and so he made an appointment for me to see the nurse and he gave me a prescription for olive oil to be put into my ears.Nothing wrong Eh?Off to see nurse one week later ,she takes a look into my left ear,completely blocked right ear has an amount of dried skin building up.Bless her she tried to clean them.but failed.''How long have you been putting olive oil in?''

Me ''One week''.''Should be two weeks'' she says''Sorry but GP made the appointment'' says I

Off I go home for another two weeks,back to nurse and she flushes out the dry skin and removes a solid lump of wax about the size of half a peanut.''Thank you nurse'' says I ''Goodbye and thank you'' HELLO HELLO you have left your hearing aids behind''

I hadnoyt used them for three years after a similar mishap

Because of my age ,I have been advised to put olive oil in my ears every two weeks to remove debris

TURN THAT DARN TV DOWN.

[wellman2 in reply to KingoftheCocktails]

Bet you could hear that music now

[KingoftheCocktails in reply to wellman2]

Would agree as in asda today and it was blaring out..

Because as you get older your hearing though perhaps not quite so good becomes much more sensitive to loud noises. I think this is biological. I have found this to be so true.
