Just kidding. "Elderly," "old," "over-the-hill," and "youth-impaired" are labels I bear with pride as I dodge Dr. Jack Kevorkian.
As Jenni says, the insult is all in how the idiot uses the label.

Sorry, even if you are just kidding. I know I will be old too one day. Elderly is something I picked up from church. Which usually mean someone who is wiser.
it just that people will think my hearing must not be so bad, if they related my hearing loss to hearing loss due to age. And then I get frustrated that they don't seem to understand and is using the wrong method because it is the same method they use on people who lost their hearing due to age but had many years of hearing.
