Bow Tie o’ the Day has made a pal of my new gadget. They are inseparable. The first thing I learned about these ear things is that they’re not called hearing “aids” anymore. My ear doc made that very clear. I thought he was going to bite my deaf ear off about that. No, they are called hearing “devices.” Sorry, doc, I didn’t mean to offend anyone by my device-ism. But the DEVICE feels comfortable. The test will be how often I have to say “Huh?” to Suzanne.
