Pluggers by Rick McKee for January 26, 2025

I’ve got the kind that are bluetooth enabled. I was streaming Pandora during the Christmas eve church service my family dragged me to last month. Bob Dylan was singing “You just kind of wasted my precious time” at maximum vollume during the altar call. I love my hearing aids!

“I think I might have hearing loss.”

“Really? What are the symptoms?”

“They’re a cartoon family on TV.”

Henny Youngman, 1968

The kind you don’t want!

All I know about hearing aids is one has more options today then 10 years ago ;-)

Ron Regan joke

The first hearing aid I bought was really great, except the noise reduction circuit would pick up high frequency sounds, like car keys jingling, and convert them to BLASTS of low frequency noise.

The problem with hearing aids is they don’t do much good when they’re in a pocket or on the table. Which is where my spouse’s usually are.

My hearing is just fine, according to the audiologist, thank you very much. However my wife strongly disagrees.

Two old guys sitting on a bench:

guy #1: “Windy today ain’t it?”

guy #2: Naw, it’s Thursday.

Guy #1 : “Me too, let’s go get a beer”.

I have had “behind-the-ear” hearing aids for years. I have never seen the “in-front-of-the-ear” model worn by the Plugger with the purple cap.

waaayy too close to home here. :P

Three old men talking…"Windy isn’t it. No, it’s Thursday. So am I. Let’s get something to drink.

The one with the hatl and hearing aid is wearing it backwards, unless dogs would need to wear them that way…

Before I got hearing aids I had some of the most interesting conversations (still do, truth be told). One of my favorites was a radio commercial for an airline touting its superior customer service, which included “the perfect ferret for every meal.” Of course, it was CLARET, but Ooooohhh the mental cartoons!
