Man, am i losing my hearing?

I gotta get my hearing checked!

I swear i hear things as well as i used to, but as time goes on i feel i have a hard time distinguishing what is being said. Seems like i am having a hard time making sence of what i hear.

Ive recently started seeing a new girl, and i swear she mumbles from time to time. She has been giving me crap about it latley.

I'm only 28, my hearing was excellent back when i was in the military, but it has been a while since ive had a test.

Whats the point in spending thousands on a stereo system if you cannot distinguish the subtle nuances anymore?

AcK!

Anyways,

Havent talked to you all in a while, been too busy with the car and the new girlie. Looks like i might score a free 14lb Vortech Supercharger for the ol Mustang. Will have to redo the fuel hoses and fuel pump, and it will void my warranty, but an extra dyno'ed 184+ RWHP? Crap! That will put roughly 394-400 horses at the wheels!!!!!!
How could i turn that down? hell, i bet i could pull a low 12 second 1/4 mile in this altitude! maybe low 11's at sea level!

or maybe that is a bad idea? ROFL

Hey Slappy, I also have a loss of hearing that effects me especially when I'm among too many people talking with ambient noise in the background. Sounds like they are mumbling. It makes going to bars and other social events a bit of a "pain in the butt."

However, it is a great justification for playing your stereo loud. It doesn't seem to affect my critical listening sessions.

Does your new girlfriend mumble all the time, or only after a "doobie"?

Go see a specialist; your complaint is usually the first one that is heard from people with a hearing problem. Up here your visit and treatment would be free. I sure hope you have insurance since medical treatment sure is expensive in the land of the free! Good luck. BTW I have tinnitus so I understand how hearing problems sneak up on you.
