I have noticed that in the past few months, I don't hear as well out of my right ear as I do the left. This is mostly evident when I'm trying to talk on my cell phone. It makes me feel old.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that I like my music loud. :-D I always have. I've always said that if it's too loud, you're too old. Now I have to turn it up so I can hear it better instead of just for enjoyment.

Don't get me wrong, I can still make it out if you talk bad about me. :-) It's just enough of a hearing loss that I can notice it myself. I do have one friend that tells me to put my phone up to my good ear and that if I'm not careful I'm going to get a hearing aid for Christmas instead of a hammer or a flashlight.

I already had to get bifocals because I couldn't read lipstick tubes anymore. Now it's the ears. The old body is starting to revolt a bit.

Do you notice any hearing changes as you get older? Are you saying, "Pardon me" with more regularity?

    Are you kidding me? The eyes and the hearing have been going for some time now. I've got hair starting to grow in places that I didn't think hair could ( or should ) grow. When the mind starts to slip , that's when you know it's all over . lol

    Yep, my hearing is going too. Has been for a while now. And I'm only 35.

    It really must be all that REALLY LOUD MUSIC IN MY CAR that I play. Loudly. Did I say that already? ehheheheh...

    ed,
    It counts.  :-D

    MC,
    I've plucked a few hairs lately myself that shouldn't be there.  Maybe coffee really does make hair grow on your chest?  lol  It's the pits getting older.

    purr,
    I grin to myself when my rear view mirror vibrates from my music.  I can't help it if Pat Benatar and me like to rock.  :-)

    CW, Oddly enough, I started needing glasses after I had my 1st child, and it got worse with each child. You can imagine how blind I must be after 7. LOL 25 years later my hearing is going to. I guess we cant escape it. By the way, love your post's. Read them alot.
