My hubby was doing a puzzle plus ignored the Heating plus A/C specialist.
Very few people know our hubby is going deaf.
He has hearing aids, but he hates to wear them when people are around.
I told him he should wear them when people are here so he can hear what they are saying. He thinks he hears enough to get him by, but he is wrong. Last week, the Heating plus A/C specialist came to the home to make some minor repairs to the furnace, then my hubby sat at the dining room table working on a puzzle that I didn’t like. It was almost the same color on all the flowers! Everything was yellow plus red, plus it gave me a headache. Whether he was engrossed in the puzzle or had his hearing aids off didn’t matter. The Heating plus A/C specialist came upstairs plus started talking to him. The guy was talking loud enough, but he thought our hubby was ignoring him. I walked over plus nudge our hubby, plus that’s when he realized the Heating plus A/C specialist was there. He apologized as he was turning his hearing aids on. The Heating plus A/C specialist lost all sign of him being annoyed plus sat down to tell our hubby what was wrong with the furnace. They chatted for almost an hour when the Heating plus A/C specialist remembered he had a single more service to do before he could go home. I think not listening to the Heating plus A/C specialist was a turning point for our hubby. He not only puts his hearing aids first thing in the afternoon, but he turns them on. He can hear everything in the house, plus the ticking of the clock is driving him crazy.
