Not just reading signs...reading signs with crappy glasses! I can sympathize with the hearing thing, too. I've fallen victim to the same fate, for precisely the same reason. Although, I haven't reached the point of hearing aids, yet. The fire apparatus' and ambulances are loud even when we aren't screaming down the road in them. And, as you know, they're a gathering spot for the likes of us, while they're running. Does that make us pig headed or dedicated? Must be dedication because I'm a long way from being pig headed. Having said all that, I wouldn't trade the career choice I made many moons ago for anything in the world, dulled hearing or not.
