Him indoors is deaf. Can’t hear a thing without his hearing aid. Before he puts it in in the morning I have to repeat everything loudly many times to make myself heard. Any background noise during the day, radio, taps running, he doesn’t hear me and I have to keep repeating things.
Now my hearing is borderline. Don’t actually need a hearing aid yet. Can hear most people ok just the odd person who mutters I will ask to repeat. I can tell they are muttering as their lips hardly move when they speak.
But HE is a muttered. And when I ask him to repeat I get the eyes raised, the tuts, the exasperation. I think that’s a damned cheek considering how patient I am with him,
Is it too much to expect of the male of the species?
