EH?????



THIS...... .....was definitely the scene at the fam's house this weekend! This is my brother-in-law, Eric. I call him Ricky. I don't think he realizes that I call him Ricky for that matter!
Anyways, my brother, his wife and I went to the Lake of the Ozarks this weekend for a car show that my brother had his car in and we always stay at my sister and her husband, Ricky's house. ( I might add that my brother's car got 1st place in his class! Congrats Steve, the trash natzi!!)

Holy Moly! Ricky can't hear! Now, I am by no means making fun of him. This cartoon just depicts what it is like. My sis-in-law and I actually put tissue paper in our ears. My sister looked at us like we had 6 heads between us! We looked at her like her head was missing!
But seriously, Eric has what is called Tinnitus: (pronounced /tɪˈnaɪtəs/ or /ˈtɪnɪtəs/,[1] from the Latin word tinnītus meaning "ringing"[2]) is the perception of sound within the human ear in the absence of corresponding external sound. I really can't imagine what this would be like. He said the doctor told him that getting a hearing aide would make it worse. That is, it would amplify the sound around him and making it painful. How awful that must be. Actually, Ricky might just be exercising "selective hearing." Probably was with me, my sister and sister-in-law all in the same room! We have been known to get alittle crazy when we get together. I think trash natzi is going to be needing a hearing aide pretty soon, too at least that's what his wife says. Kinda makes you wonder.........what's in that ear anyways???? Eh.?
