    When my spouse turns on the TV, I generally put my headphones on. Then she walks into the kitchen and says (and I quote) ā€œĀ .Ā .Ā Ā ..Ā ,Ā ,Ā .Ā !ā€ ā€¦ and expects not just an answer but a cogent answer.

    Weā€™re still discussing expectationsā€¦

    My last, $5K, aids crapped out almost exactly on their five year warranty date. What a pain they were, molded earpieces did not vent sweat so speakers crapped out, replacement vented ones allowed feedback; focused toward your guests and blocking other noise baloney; slowing car to stop and a railroad noise roared up from behindā€¦. Older brother just got some also pricey ones and we had a hilarious time when he called and tried to get his to work with the phone, and his wife had to get involved with the effort. Let me know when they differentiate a wifeā€™s voice. Digital, humbug, not what I learned in a Bell Telephone Laboratories class in 1967 re. A to D, and D to A.

    When my wife turns the TV on, I usually turn my hearing aid off. I enjoy my quiet world.
