Man, am i losing my hearing?


I gotta get my hearing checked!

I swear i hear things as well as i used to, but as time goes on i feel i have a hard time distinguishing what is being said. Seems like i am having a hard time making sence of what i hear.

Ive recently started seeing a new girl, and i swear she mumbles from time to time. She has been giving me crap about it latley.

I'm only 28, my hearing was excellent back when i was in the military, but it has been a while since ive had a test.

Whats the point in spending thousands on a stereo system if you cannot distinguish the subtle nuances anymore?

AcK!

Anyways,

Havent talked to you all in a while, been too busy with the car and the new girlie. Looks like i might score a free 14lb Vortech Supercharger for the ol Mustang. Will have to redo the fuel hoses and fuel pump, and it will void my warranty, but an extra dyno'ed 184+ RWHP? Crap! That will put roughly 394-400 horses at the wheels!!!!!!
How could i turn that down? hell, i bet i could pull a low 12 second 1/4 mile in this altitude! maybe low 11's at sea level!

or maybe that is a bad idea? ROFL

Yo dude, I went through the same type of hearing problem when I was in
my late 20's/early thirties. It seemed to be at its worst whenever
dipthongs were used in a sentence (essentially, diphthongs are vowel
combinations that can be both difficult to ennunciate, as well as hear). I
went to a number of hearing specialists who confirmed that this was
happening (along with the sage advice that I was geting older) and it
seemed to level off by my mid-thirties. But what a load of crap I took
from an ex-wife and several ex-girl friends who swore that I was just
not listening.

Today, I have a much different, but related problem. Just about a month
ago, I had some spine fusion done and one of the screws not only broke
but ricocheted inside my spine, puncturing my spinal cord, and causing
spinal meningitis (system wide blood poisoning). On those rare
occasions when I am reasonably lucid, the last thing that I want is to
hear anyone ... so I guess it balances out.

Be well, Rich
