The answer to my 92-year-old mother's hearing problems – Nat King Cole
BEFORE I go any further, I should acknowledge the fact that my mum, now approaching 93, is a ruddy marvel.
Still independent, still doing her own shopping, still keeping her garden immaculate, and still doing a daily Codeword puzzle. We know how lucky we are that she’s in such good nick.
However, as magnificent as she is, she’s developed a terrible stubborn streak over her increasing hearing problems.
She grudgingly accepts that she has tinnitus – or “tittyness” as she calls it – in one ear. However, she refuses pointblank to go and see about getting help.
“Mum, you need a hearing-aid – it would make a massive difference,” I said to her during our daily phone chat the other day.
“Sorry, you’ll have to repeat that, son,” she said.........
