I used to fish with someone that was hard of hearing on the Bella Vista lakes. We'd be out there at 0600, there's houses all over the lake, quiet as can be, and He'd yell at me when he was talking. "WHAT ARE YOU USING!" "I JUST GOT A BITE!". "DID YOU WATCH THE GAME LAST NIGHT!". The hard of hearing don't realize that the normal hearing folks can hear OK.
My hearing is going downhill, just a matter of time before I need aids.
