This is funny, or I think it is, I go long periods without hearing aids since my first set back in 1984. Someone always does it, they start talking

They are talking and while their lips are still moving they quit making sound and I think my batteries just went out and start messing with them.
The last set I had came with a remote control and when the S.O. starts yammering on about how I don't listen I could just slip my hand in my pocket and mute all that yaking. Smile and nod smile and nod..
