Accompanied by two family members we went to one of my favorite venues for lunch today. Sitting outside in the shade, 90 degrees with a slight breeze was perfect. There was only one couple seated outside where I thought we might have to compete for space. While we were eating a number of persons opted to eat inside giving us the satisfaction of no loud conversations annoying our peace. For once I could eat in comfort without the chill of air conditioning nor cold breezes outside and now loud conversations at the next table.
After eating in restaurants around the world I've concluded that American diners are the loudest. Typically they bring their outside voices inside. Suffering my hearing impairment, dining in that situation is not pleasant. Many establishments exacerbate the issue by blasting loud music. Tuesday I get new hearing aids from the VA. The VA audiologist says that their new technology makes the aids more helpful in noisy situations. The remote mic that accompanies them should also be helpful. Stay tuned for a report of their function.
Takk for alt,
Al
The lunch bunch.
