Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 A man feared his wife was not hearing as well as sheused to, and he thought she might need a hearing aid.Not quite sure how to approach her, he called thefamily doctor to discuss the problem.The doctor told him there is a simple informal testthe husband could perform to give the doctor a better idea about herhearing loss."Here's what you do," said the doctor."Stand about 40 feet away from her and in a normal conversationalspeaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet,and so on until you get aresponse."That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was inthe den. He says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away. Let's see whathappens."Hope you all enjoy this as I did. My husband wears hearing aides and his name is Jim so we really had a good laugh!! In a normal tone he asks, "Honey, what's for dinner?"No response.So the husband moves to closer to the kitchen, abou! t 30 feet from hiswife, and repeats, "Honey, what's for dinner?"Still no response.Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from hiswife and asks, "Honey, what's for dinner?"Again, no response.So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away."Honey, what's for dinner?"Again, there is no response.So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner?"(I just love this.)."Earl, for the 5th time, CHICKEN!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
