I Have the same problem.....too many gun shots...high levels are gone..... but if conversation is clear and well spoken I hear every word clearly...... my kid talks clearly but thinks that blurting out a statement from 3 rooms down the hall is the same as being face to face....and of course there is never a warning that the sentence is coming....so I miss the 1st 3 words entirely when she bitches about my hearing I tell her to get me aides for my birthday, Christmas....etc.....tell her they only cost a few thousand $$$.....she shuts up. The car is the worst place for high freq hearing loss as the road noise really compromises voice clarity. My hearing hasn't gotten any worse in 20 years so I can't justify wearing aides.....hell I'm just getting used to reading glasses.....which I need to see the sights clearly on my handguns.....getting old sucks a bit.

Not a word about Shay. This concerns me and I'll send Grace (my friend) an email to check, once again. Grace is also caring for her husband who is fighting a bout with pneumonia. I hate to be a bother, so I'll go slow with this. Thanks for asking and I'll let everyone know what I learn.

I have had the other problem with my daughter. Though she's better now, she used to talk really fast. I was always telling her to SLOW DOWN cause I couldn't understand what she was saying. She has gotten much better about speaking more slowly. I think it's a combination of college and being in a leadership position in her sorority made her realize she needed to be able to communicate effectively. She tells me she's going snowmobiling up in the mountains this weekend. Ought to be fun, what with all the snow we've gotten in the past week.
