Fred and Mort are the “Beltway Boys”. That’s the way they think. The hinterland is another story. They live in a cacoon, I think.
Howdy All...Went to the VA in Temple to have my ears tested. Yep, I’m pretty hard of hearing. I wear hearing aids already. I had heard of some ex-military fellows who were really hard of hearing, the VA tested them, sent them to ENT, They were further tested and found an operation would help them. It did. My hearing is on a curve, from low sounds, up then drops on the other side. It may have something to do with the nerves and bone structures, so, heck, I’ll give it a try.
Till, you are so correct about that Beltway mentality. Ugh.
And, it sounds like you’ve made an important decision about some surgery, if I’m reading your post correctly. Please keep us posted as to how/when etc.
