Hard of Hearing?
An older man visits the doctor. "Doc," he says, "I am not here for myself. its my wife. She is losing her hearing, but she won't admit it or come to see you. I came here hoping there's something you can do even if she won't come to see you herself."
"Maybe," said the doctor, "how bad is her hearing?"
"It's bad," said the man, "but I don't know how to describe it."
"I need to know how far away she can hear a normal speaking voice. Can you find that out and come back?" asked the doctor.
The man agreed and went back to his house. His wife was working at the kitchen sink, so he positioned himself at the far end of the kitchen, about 30 feet away, and in his normal speaking voice said, "Honey, what's for dinner?"
No response, so he moved up 10 feet and repeated, "Honey, what's for dinner?" (20 feet)
No response, so he moved up 10 feet and repeated, "Honey, what's for dinner?" (10 feet)
No response, so he moved up 10 feet, and was standing right behind her and repeated, "Honey, what's for dinner?"
His wife threw down her dish towel in disgust, turned to face her husband and shouted, "For the fourth time - meatloaf!"
