    That is exactly how I feel and what happens with me, my husband who thinks he is humorous shrugs and says "See and now I thought she wasn't listening to me but now I know she just ignores everyone else too" It is funny and people laugh.

    Deaf father rejected by mother's hearing family

    I think the help that was desired was to confirm what they already knew and maybe someone would suggest something they hadn't thought of. Sometimes help is just conveying ones thoughts that another person is able to affirm the answer they have already decided upon.

    How can you say it did not go up. Last year they said no COLA increase because the increase aka soaring gas prices happened after the cut off date.

    Thank you! I think I am going to go to my audiologist and hearing center and see if I can take instruction on lip reading. Even with hearing aids I miss a lot of words or confuse them.
