Her Hearing Is Going But Her Eyes Are Sharp As A Hawk’s
BIZARRE, GOLDEN YEARS, HEALTH & BODY, HOME, UK | HEALTHY | JANUARY 17, 2018
(I work in a local doctor’s surgery, running a clinic fixing hearing aids. I’m at home with my family when the doorbell rings. An elderly lady is standing outside.)
Elderly Lady: “Hello, are you the hearing aid lady?”
Me: “Yes…”
Elderly Lady: *hands me a small package* “The hospital posted me a new hearing aid mould, but I don’t know how to fit it. I didn’t want to wait for the clinic.”
Me: “How did you find me?”
Elderly Lady: “I saw you going home and I recognised you. Can you put my hearing aid together?”
Me: “Uh… sure.”
(I do it on the spot; it’s a ten-second job.)
Elderly Lady: “Thank you! Bye!”
Me: *speechless*
