How to Fake Your Way Through Hearing Loss Without Looking Like an Idiot

[Hadriel Sam]

Okay, maybe you don't hear quite as well as you used to;  Tinnitus 911 Review so what, who does It's only natural to have a little trouble hearing after all your ears have endured throughout your lifetime. But that doesn't mean you have to run out and join the ranks of hearing aid wearers. You're not ready for that, and who can blame you So, as a fellow hearing loss sufferer, I'll share some strategies that I have employed to help cope with a little hearing loss without succumbing to the pressure to buy hearing aids and, more importantly, without looking like an idiot.

1. Small Groups: Sometimes it is difficult to understand everything people say in a small gathering, such as coffee with guys. It is embarrassing to make a comment only to have someone fire back, "I just said that." I've found that you can eliminate or at least reduce that risk by being proactive, that is, firing first. Whenever a new topic is introduced, try to be among the first to speak. Get your two cents worth in at the beginning of the discussion and you'll have contributed to the conversation without accidentally repeating what someone else said or otherwise misspeaking.

2. Watching TV: Let's say you want to watch a movie with your spouse. Hearing is more important than seeing when following the plot of a movie. Of course, it would be easier to just turn up the TV loud enough to hear and understand it comfortably, but that would give away your position. So what do you do Subtly experiment with how loud you can get away with turning up the TV and stop there. Yeah, you still won't hear as well as if you turned it up where you wanted to, but it should be enough to fake your way through the movie. And be sure to keep the requests to ask what they said to a minimum, once or twice at the most.

3. Asking to Repeat: It is really difficult to fake your way through a one on one conversation without looking like an idiot. Let's say you're at a family get together and your new, soft-spoken daughter-in-law strikes up a conversation with you and you're not getting it. You ask her to repeat and she does but you still didn't quite understand what she said. Now you have a dilemma, you could ask her to say it for the third time, but what if you didn't get it the third time either My advice: punt; smile and nod and hope the rest of the conversation goes better. Successfully faking your way through hearing loss in a one on one conversation is nearly impossible. I've found it is easier to stay at home and avoid those functions.
