On the dark days, and I’m not speaking of whether or not the sun, so capricious in the far off foreign land to which I fled before anyone in the solar system imagined there could be such a thing as President Donald J.
I don't know anyone, young or old, who doesn't use the subtitles function. The rolling pin function should be used on modern producers who induce their directors into creating today's Cinema Incomprehensible.
I am deaf in the left ear, and high frequency loss in the right. I have the best hearing aids available courtesy the VA. (Artillery ears)
I only wear the hearing aids when I am going to a doctors appointment. They are a pain, and a couple of times one of them would dislodge and fall out. I had a man chase me through the market a couple of months back as one of the hearing aids fell on the floor.
I use headphones for watching TV. Bad thing with them though is that they block out other sounds like the telephone. But I don't have a cell phone, and my landline (home phone as the kids call it today) has caller ID, and 99 % of all calls are from an Indian or Philippine call center, All calls go to messaging.
Well, John, the oldies did warn us not to listen to that rockenroll at a million decibels and here we are decades later with the truth crapping all over us. Please tell the missus that I am having the same conversations with Him Indoors about getting his hearing fixed - I may take up the tip about a rolling pin to the noggin.
I had wondered if it was a failing soundbar, Virgin Media or modern acting techniques that made dialogue undecipherable. So now I know. Subtitles - great idea.

This was a rather beautiful and poignant piece.
Very kind of you, Charles, and much appreciated.
