Random thoughts...

I have decided that when I am old and my hearing is gone, I am going to use one of those old fashioned ear horns. None of that hearing aid nonsense. I think a good 7/9ths of the time I don't feel like listening to the people or things that are around me, so I get to choose when I get to listen to things. People know when I am listening and none of that finicky battery garbage to deal with. Just a brass horn that gets shoved into my ear when I feel like listening.
