Everyone who wear HAs can relate to #2. I don't know how many times I've smiled and nodded and didn't understand a word they were saying! What is even funnier is when the person speaking realizes that you don't understand them so they start yelling. Most of the time it isn't that they are speaking too low, it's that they don't enunciate clearly.
Several of them :) Especially the last one :) I have a mild to moderate hearing loss, and my hearing aids sure helps :) Keep on making videos, Emily :)
Thanks for this I can relate to all of these, lol....sometimes even before getting my device! 😂 I've had one sided deafness all my life, since birth. In the last decade, Mr Peres disease began lying tricks on me....and in 2022, I was diagnosed, and in 2023, the hearing in my one good ear went south in a hurry. It's been a distressing and testing last 4 years, between Covid, my divorce, and losing my hearing to the point of having moderately severe hearing loss! What a freakin' whirlwind it's been! But it's all good, and now I finally have a hearing aid for the one good ear. ( Just not ready to go for a cochlear implant....which, ironically, was offered when I was in grade school, but was so new and unproven and expensive. Insurance didn't cover it, my mom wasn't gonna Kay for it, and the family ENT echoed what many docs said back then-- she'll be fine, her right ear has compensated well for the loss of inner ear function." Wow. Things are so different today! And I'm glad to see where we're at now with the technology and better understanding of the hearing functions between the brain and the ear apparatus! Other kids don't need to suffer what I lived through. Funny thing, I've always been a lip reader being unilaterally deaf, just didn't realize it until Covid/masks, and losing most if my one good ear occurred! It's crazy, but I've embraced and accepted this now, at 60. I made it most if my life on one ear, and now that I know what's going on, and now with a hearing aid (still learning it and retraining my brain, lol), I know I will integrate and overcome this part of the journey. It's all good! Thank you for sharing this humour with us! ✌🏼❤️✨🌻

Correct! I want to add, I think mustaches are the worst 🤪
