[quote=davidcpa] None of these problems have led me to investigate hearing aids. [/quote]

David,

Wondering why???...they are life altering! The new hearing aids can be very unobtrusive and with the advent of computer chips..address several sitations like crowded rooms or phone conversations. If you are having trouble hearing your phone or sirens...it is probably time to investigate them.

I am surprised your wife has not suggested it. I can tell immediately when Bill is not wearing his...it brings out the beast in me...LOL!
