Watching the Wizard of Oz with Closed-Captioning
I used to watch the Wizard of Oz every year during the Holiday season. I am not sure when I stopped doing that. I cannot believe I had not seen the Wizard of Oz since 1995, which is when I started enjoying closed-captioning. But, it seems I didn’t. When I did I experienced many discoveries.

Having any sort of medical procedure performed is uncomfortable. We want to make sure nothing goes wrong. With a hearing loss, not understanding instructions can be a problem if not a disaster. Not long ago I had a minor laser procedure performed on my eyes. If I...
Hearing Aids and Water Don’t Mix
In the beginning, it may not seem possible, but there will come a day when your hearing aids will feel comfortable. So comfortable, in fact, you may forget to take them off when you hop in the shower, bath, pool or hot tub. It has happened to me. More than once. ...
Waiters and Waitresses – Repeat or Rephrase
