Deaf...just another curve ball

You made me laugh out loud in public!

A goodly part of hunting to me, is playing "What's That Sound".
I can surely feel your loss. While I have no experience with your options, believe me when I tell you that I feel what the hearing loss would take from me. I have tinnitus, and that takes some of my sensitivity from me.

I wish you the best that the Lord will allow. Godspeed your (how else to say this, though it makes me giggle,) return to your senses.

Jeff,

Sorry to read this.  Keep us posted on progress.

Sorry about that.  the good thing is you can drop the word "huh" from your vocabulary.  When I take my hearing aids out that is the first response my wife gets when she says anything.

Jeff: Wow, I just saw this thread. I'm so glad you are taking it in stride with some humor. They say laughing is good medicine. "email me don't call me"; "sorry to hear this"... you guys are bad! Well, worst case scenario will be on our next long drive together (Quebec/ Denton Hill, etc.) I won't have to tell you stories all the way there and back again.
 By the way, a gal at the Hearing Aid Shop in Wolfboro, NH, by the name of Jessica Williams, is worth the trip. I have her adjust my hearing aids once a year whether they need it or not. Meanwhile, stay close to the A/C and if you hear anything you better duck.  BW

That Tom Phillips stick deal has me thinking.  Going to need a new system when I'm on the poling platform and you're on the bow of the boat with your back to me.  Maybe I can get a long cane pole or something and poke you in different spots to let you know where the fish is.

A cattle prod works well, or so I'm told....   :D

Sorry for your circumstance.  I have to carry small stones in my pocket when I'm hunting with my buddy in CO.  I hit him with one to get his attention.  Its kinda funny and we laugh.  Its cost us an animal or 2, but I love it!

That cattle prod might just shock my hearing back!

Now, THAT...that would be a holistic health approach me thinks

I'd rather stay deaf  

You seem to be rocking right along. I have always enjoyed your post my friend

I guess since you are "taking it in strid" I know you have an ecollar to train dogs, so Mrs. Tippit might just need to know this. I think they have a range of one mile.. Bob

I've already felt the effect of the training  collar in my hand...don't think I want it around my neck.  Anyway being deaf has it's rewards on Honey Dew Lists
