Too close to home for me. I’m about to edge a toe into the search for hearing aids. Hate the idea but need to man up and get it done. Certainly get enough frequent offers in the mail for the ‘perfect’ model. Don’t know which type I’ll finally select, there are so many, and all claiming to be the best, but we’ll find out.
I like having a rechargeable hearing aid (only recently did it officially become a HA). Those little zinc-air batteries are expensive and hard to handle. Weird how the $4000 HA don’t have them and my $150 unit does.

Clyde it may not be the batteries. Earl may have forgot to turn his aids back up after leaving the house. Opal had been rambling for some time.

Abe had a wife in his ears also. History records her as being a handful.

He should start singing “Reelin’ in the Ears”.

They beep in your ear when they’re running down. Of course, I just ignored my left aid beeping while I was listening to Yo Yo Ma on YouTube.

I thought Yo Yo Ma played the cello not a YouTube whatever that instrument is.

Being a cartoon character, as long as he can read the balloons, he doesn’t need to hear.

isn’t this a rerun? Strong déjà vu feeling here…

And the skewed hearing trouble begins so early in life, There are dire warning signs.
I’m reasonably sure the lyric I remember from TRAVELING BAND isn’t ‘747 fallin’ out of the sky, come on let me take you on a midnight ride’.
If it IS, I’ll walk, thank you.

And in Earl’s case, the wife always seems to be in his ears…

Earl is being an ear-wag.

I think this is the way Earl interpreted Abe’s quote. And it’s a good way he did this, too. You have to live with Opal to know this.

Just keep his wife out of his beers.

My hearing is fine. Why she asked, “Could you put socks on a chicken”, I’ll never know.
And why get mad at me when I said, “No.”
She was fuming when she got up and took a box out to the kitchen. Women.

Hey Earl, get rechargeable hearing aids like I have.

Wives with great ears would know when to pretend deafness.

Didn’t he say that at Ford’s theater during the crowd’s laughter, on or about April 15, 1865?

That would explain Earl’s hearing problem.

It’s not the ears on your wife but the wife in your ears.

Wives are in their guy’s ears all the time. Nag, nag nag….
