Living With the Hard of Hearing

Hello can you hear me
Speaking louder is key
Make sure they see your lips
Talk slow and clear

TV is too loud
Barraged by too much sound
Silence cannot be achieved
Not even a thought can be perceived

Words misconceived
Offense received
Information missed
Miscommunication persist

Effects the young
Effects the old
Problem is ignored
Wishing their hearing was restored

Assistance they need
To help them succeed
As their hearing fades
Thankful for hearing aids

What? Seriously, you hit the nail on the head with this. And thanks for the information on the meds, I’ll talk to my vet about them. John
