Get your hearing checked

I was at an Australian Day BBQ with friends this afternoon and I was having a bit of trouble following the conversation. My husband turns to me after I've said pardon and says "I think your hearing is getting worse". Um, I would need to have hearing in the first place for it to get worse honey. I've been deaf nearly eighteen months but I still don't think my husband understands what profound deafness means. The cochlear implant gives the impression that my hearing is "fixed". Not quite.
