Dear Miss Manners: Now that I am in my dotage, my hearing is failing. I had an examination and got hearing aids, and now I want to share with you how wonderful they are in many ways. One way, in particular.
My wife was born without an “off” button. She has been blessed with the ability to speak continuously on any subject. I have lately found that turning off the hearing aids is a blessing in disguise. My wife thinks I am intently listening when she has one of her verbal diarrhea attacks. All I do is turn off my aids and smile.
