How to tell my friends I won't be able to attend the annual pre-holiday dinner. [View all]
We are friends with a 23 year history, mostly based on shared road trips...... Canada, South Dakota, southern states and so forth. As we are getting older, the trips are fewer and of shorter distance. 400 miles on a day on a bike is different when you are in your 70's from when you were in your 40's or 50's.
Still, there are the two or three "get togethers" and one or two weekend rides each year.
The problem is with my hearing. I can't be in most restaurants because I can no longer hear what people are saying. Being in a restaurant that is packed with us and other people having holiday parties.... torture.
Yes, I've tried the three Costco and two other hearing aids but they are useless with the type of hearing loss I have.
This will be the first one I will miss.
