old coots and directional hearing impairment

[Ia Hawkeye]

Frustrating isn't it. I have all the problems mentioned, plus, I have balance problems, so no tree stands for me, and I don't see nearly as well either anymore ! Golden years ? Somebody else must have my share of the gold !

I've just been e-mailed this. I don't know if this is something new. I haven't checked it out yet but it is designed to improve deafness and tinnitus. It is nonperscription and it's called
Lipo/flavonoid.  

Anybody on here know anything about this?

[Miss Kim]

Moengo, I thought the same thing when I saw this thread! I live with the man and thought "Hearing problem???? Seems to hear me just fine...most of the time!"

  :confused:

We all get old together. Just get used to it and be happy.

[Moengo]

I'm the same way, Miss Kim...very selective on what I hear my wife say, it's more an acquired talent than an impairment.

[Miss Kim]

:rolleyes:  He gets better and better at it the longer we are married.....  :D

Mickey, I have the same problem. Mine is diagnosed as Tinnitus - constant ringing in the ear caused from nerve damage.  Probably noise induced (guns, saws, mowers, chainsaws, loud noises) Will have it forever - hope to get some help soon, eh?  What???

[Longbowwally]

Yep, me too. I'm 47 and have the same problem. I also have a constant ringing in my years--that's from many years of unprotected ears while riding loud motorcycles, loud music and guns in the stupid days of my youth    ....

[lone hunter]

No Mickey I don't have the problem. But I have found myself surrounded by bugling elk on several occasions. I hate to admit this but one time I actually made a tremendous stalk 180 degrees from the intended quarry. I may be in denial.

They say that when you lose one sense you gain some at another.

As I lose my hearing, I`m waiting for some other sense to get stronger. Hasn`t happened yet. Matter of fact, I`m slowly losing all my sense!

[TXRED]

I resemble most all the above remarks!Lotsa gunfire,loud music,hotrods & motorcycles from early on(tuff neighborhood),to many hours on heavy equipment & chainsaws when it wasn't "Macho" to wear hearing protection has taken its' toll.  

[Charlie Lamb]

Heard my wife calling me just the other day and no matter how far I walked, she just seemed to get harder to hear.  :D  

The walking didn't help my hearing much, but the pain in my butt seemed to diminish considerably! Ah the wonder of excersise.
 

[Tom Leemans]

LOL Charlie!  

[the Ferret]

Tom I have a feeling Charlie's wonderful wife doesn't read these threads      

it's good to have a sanctuary eh?

If I wrote something like that Dianne and I would be having a "discussion" when she got home from work    :eek:

Man it was windy this morning and there were about a dozen squirrels runing about. I had a real hard time pinpointing the noise this morning.
Did see a spindly racked 4 pointer and a yearling doe this morning though

We used to have a saying here that so and so was just talking to "hear his head roar".
Now I don't have to talk, and I hear it roar anyway...
