    Hard of hearing, need advice

    Wirelessly posted (Backberry) Yep, that's what the big stick is for... Keeping people in line. Speaking softly gets people to move closer to you. Of course, if you are in charge of the meeting you can set some ground rules at the beginning. Be up front about the rules and be flexable.

    If that is a concern for you, discuss it with your doctor. You may be able to get some extra MRI scans done now so they won't need to ask for them later.

    Annoying ignorant hearing people stories
