Last time I went for a hearing test, the Otolaryngologist politely asked why I was there, and I honestly told him because my wife made me do it...:)
He didn't even miss a beat. Just kept writing, didn't even look up and mumbled something that sounded like "Unhhhggh..."
Actually I forgot to mention...the doctor told me that the fact that people constantly were telling me to turn the TV/radio down and that I was always asking people to repeat themselves was a classic indication of hearing loss.
