Valentine's Day!

Let me count the cards I got (don't worry, it will not take long).

Third trip to the audiologist. On to their top man this time. Nice chap. Much poking and shining of lights. I was scheduled to go into Edinburgh tomorrow for a second hearing test, "No need," he said." I can do it here and now". Then he did. It turns out I am moderately mutton. High frequency loss. I struggle to hear sycophants (or sibilants, I may have mis-heard).

Explained it all with graphs on his rinky dinky laptop. Showed me pictures of the inside of my head. I expected a hard sell of ridiculously expensive hearing aids (£2k+ !) but no. He told me the features I should look out for and what type would suit me best. "Do I need one?" I asked. "If you don't think your quality of life is impared then no. There will come a day when you may need to re-assess".

Excellent honest support.
