Hmmmm

My paternal grandmother went into dementia at about my age now and survived till 91.
Her hearing was perfect though.
Paternal grandfather was completely dead by 80 and lived to 90.
But no dementia.

I think I'm fucked too

Pardon ?

You're forgiven.

Tinnitus and hearing loss seem to have been linked to dementia now. That scares me somewhat It's more to do with the fact that people with hearing loss tend to hold themselves at arm's length from involvement in things which stagnates their mental capacity. Keep involved and you are no more at risk...

For example I'm in a shopping centre right now and would normally hear the tinnitus.
But ATM I can hardly hear it

They're right. Nothing can be done for tinnitus.
But good hearing aids help keep it in the background because you can hear all the normal sounds around you.
With poor hearing the tinnitus becomes more noticeable.

Hey Trevor, my wife's an audiologist. That Bluetooth partnermike is a good thing. What brand of aids are you using , she asks.

Sonova Unitron Moxi B1 312. (Think the 312 is just the battery size)

Solid product

Cheers mate.
And free.

How do you know if it’s surfers ear or general hearing loss causing the issues? Are you asking me or beans? I don't have surfers ear. Just a lifetime of working with noise. Compressed air in injection moulding factories then more of the same in tyre services. And driving rally cars al night before ...

More on ears. But hearing related I have severe high frequency hearing loss. And tinnitus. Got hearing aids 10 years ago (next month as it turns out). I went with an expensive option offset a bit by being a pensioner. Still the best part of $5,000 though. For a variety of reasons I've never been ver...

I think Fong was originally from NH.

He's Fingal mob.
Then while still a kid his family moved south to Kempsey (I think). Not sure when he was in SA. He was at Bonney Hills before moving to Noosa.

Sure it was unintentional, Trev.

It was actually.
He's smack in the middle of the action.
