You’ve been waiting for this all week: a Zoom call with your son and daughter-in-law. You’ll have a great time and catch-up with your cherished family members. But when you log in you realize, to your horror and frustration, that you can’t hear very well. You’re wearing your hearing aids but things still sound muffled. […]
You’re planning a very active summer. Some beach time and lots of swimming no doubt.
