Well I must admit I am a little hard at hearing. We were getting ready to go to a party one night when OH asked 'Do you like my new frock'? I said, 'Seven o'clock! you'd better hurry up and get changed. Can't print what she said after. Jeff lol

Said to dad one night when he arrived home late.You had better get to bed.He said Fred i dont know a Fred. Annie

It is sad Teena when our loved ones are not as young or in such good health as they used to be. My 14 year old son wont laugh or joke about anything silly his grandad does, he just can't bear the fact that he's getting old. Anne

At least I'm sat here smiling about it now. Liked the Butlins one! Anne

This is sad,it reminds me of my darling grandad who cannot hold a telephone conversation any longer cause of his hearing. My nan died just over a yr ago and i phoned her every wednesday evening just after how clean is your house (when it was on),grandad only use to shout 'do you wanna cuppa darling' I hate not being able to talk to him,he does phone me now and again and has a one way conversation then i write a letter and tell him my news. I asked him about the weather (he now lives in wales whilst i'm in herts)he said yes 'darling they are thinking of getting some pigs now' Infact it would be funny if i could see him face to face cause he would say some classic things but now its just sad.

Anne - that's my Nan lol

My dad always thinks there's a conspiracy against him that no one ever tells him any thing. When we speak up he says 'there's no need to shout' Anne

So nice to know I'm not alone. I come back from my Mum's totally exhausted...from shouting. Tina x

I cannot remember what we said but my Nan snapped back at us: No I don't want to go to Butlins. We weren't even talking about holidays lol

Does anyone else have an elderly relative who is going slightly deaf. My dad is, and he's driving me mad. I asked him if he thought it was going to rain, and he said no thank you, I don't want a tangerine. Where's the fish food? 'Upstairs in the bathroom' He thought I said tissues. Do you want a pie? 'Who wants a tie?' These are just the recent ones. Anyone got any more to add? Anne

Ann, Dad had a well posh hearing aid ( digital) but he sat on it ! The other one screetched , but only when he didn,t want to hear what was being said . He,s been married to mum for 60 years and now says he dosn,t need another one ! xx Kim xx
