My hearing test showed a slight loss of hearing. I will be getting a pair of hearing aids. The nice lady who did the test as I sat in that large box told me the aids were very high tech.
“How often do I need to change the batteries?” I asked.
“Oh there are no batteries in these Frank.”
“WOW! No batteries?” I answered.
“Nope. The hearing aids have a computer chip and are Bluetooth ready.” She told me.
“UGH! I don’t like Bluetooth. I don’t know how to use it.”
The nice hearing test lady looked at me kinda funny like.
“You don’t have to do anything with them.” She said.
“Look. I’m not computer or Bluetooth savvy. I just got rid of a flip phone I had for ever, and I just bought my first new car in 20 years, and the salesman set up the Bluetooth because I had no clue how to do it. As a matter of fact…I told him I didn’t want the Bluetooth. Didn’t need Bluetooth. But my wife talked me into it.”
“Well it’s really no problem Frank.” She informed me.
“Ya right. You have no idea how many times my cell phone has rang in my car while I’m driving, and I’m fumbling trying to remember how to answer it with that Bluetooth. I push every button in my car. The radio comes on. The heater turns off. My lights start flashing. I don’t like Bluetooth.”
“You won’t have a problem with these. I assure you.”
“Who will set up the Bluetooth in my hearing aids?”
“There is no set up Frank.”
“I don’t want hearing aids that come with 5 pages of instructions…and 4 pages are in a language I can’t read.”
“I promise you once we show you how to wear the hearing aids, you’ll be happy.” She told me while trying to be reassuring.
My wife won the argument.
And this should be fun!
