You said what??

I finally made an appointment with the doctor to check my ears. Yes, I'm going deaf! Yes, Aaron's been telling me this for years now. But I'm finally taking it seriously because I couldn't hear the director asking me a question from across the lobby, as well as in front of me! It was embarrassing!

Well I'm not sure I'm happy of what the doctor found. She said my ears weren't clogged and didn't need any special cleaning. I guess that's good right? But what does that mean? I have a real problem? Shall I call this my 43-year old ailment? Ahhheee...
