Newly elected Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., has described his severe hearing disability as causing him to hear the voice of the teacher from the "Peanuts" cartoon when listening to people speak, the New York Times reported.
Fetterman suffered a stroke in May 2022 while campaigning for Pennsylvania's open Senate seat, causing him to have cognitive issues, including a problem with auditory processing.
The senator, who is in the hospital after experiencing lightheadedness Wednesday, has also struggled to adjust to life in the Senate, given the challenges of recovering from his stroke and the need for technological tools to help him conduct conversations with staff and colleagues.
Fetterman has to carry around a closed captioning device that types out what is being said to him so that he can have conversations, since he cannot fully understand the spoken word on his own.

Does he see dead people too?
Old Joe said it..........his wife will make a great senator.
And I haven’t anything at all from Dr. Oz since the Election.
Linus had a thing for Miss Othmar!!!
See sees D voters.
His constituents are lame brained idiots so what does it matter anyway? His leftist Latina wife can spoon feed the communications by proxy.
“ And I haven’t anything at all from Dr. Oz since the Election.”
Perhaps Oz moved back to New Jersey.
Ironic he’s still smarter than Kamala Harris go figure
Who cares?! The people of Pennsylvania wanted him, so give the people what they want. A competent, smart person? Hell no. Move alone folks, nothing to see.
“since he cannot fully understand the spoken word”
Well, we knew that beforehand.
That’s what the overhead paging system at my job sounds like.
Does he shake hands with invisable people too??
Are they disembodied voices?
Guess it’s better than not hearing voices at all.
Sad the voters put him in office with his condition....
Joey Part II.
Sometimes the speakers at drive through lanes at fast food joints sound like that. ;-)
Say what??
I would disagree about PA residents wanting Fetterman.
Explain to me how Biden got more votes than Obama and Trump got more votes in 2020 than 2016.
Good riddance to that scumbag.
DJT was stoopid to get involved and back him.
> And I haven’t anything at all from Dr. Oz since the Election. <
I’m guessing that this great Pennsylvania resident moved back to New Jersey or Hollywood or wherever. What a trash candidate he was! And voter fraud aside, you certainly have to be a trash candidate to lose to John Fetterman.
Thank you, Mr. Trump. And thank you, Mr. Hannity. Both of those guys endorsed Oz in the primaries. He was the perfect fit for Pennsylvania! Not.
