Dilemma

Ah.
The last sentence may make me say something small and gentle. Or even with a bit of humour.
Else I wouldnt personally.

It is possible she is waiting for an appointment?

No she doesn't hear me even 1:1 in a quiet room. I always have to repeat myself. It's wearing over tea and a chat.
At a meeting yesterday she had no idea what was going on as various speakers asked questions. It was in public so she couldn't ask for a repeat of a question or a statement someone had made. That's what prompted me to write this post. Surely she must know by now?! I'll not say anything unless she asks me. She lives on her own and has done for years so has no one close to discuss this with.

It’s a difficult one. I started losing my hearing some 25 years ago and I’m not sure how I would have felt if someone had brought it up. Does your friend hear ok when you’re talking one to one in a quiet situation?

I wouldn't mention it .
People can be touchy when it comes to things like that.
She's probably aware of it .

Do not bring it up unless she asks you.
