A Strange Little Story January 19, 2020, 11:30:09 am Yesterday Margee and I went to the LD to do some preparation work for a trip next week. Margee found some pans, cups, plates and other stuff that we didn't need anymore so we bagged them to take home. (I'm always happy to downsized RV stuff.) On the way home, we stopped at a grocery store and while shopping, I noticed one of my hearing aids was not working. I reached up to my ear and it was gone! WHAT!! It had somehow fallen out of my ear. Of course I was really (and I mean really) upset.Immediately, I walked around the store, back to the car, but I didn't find my hearing aid. After we finished shopping, we went back to the LD and carefully looked around. Nothing. So we said, it must be at home. Again after a careful search of our home … Nothing. It was gone. The only good news is the missing hearing aid is from my better ear.Later last night, Margee said she thought we'd left our groceries in the car as we rushed into the house to search. So I went and retrieved the bags of groceries and the bag of extra plates and cups from the Rig. I set them on the kitchen counter and went to my office. A few seconds later, I heard a yell which had me running (well actually walking fast) to the kitchen. Margee had the missing hearing aid in her hand and she said she found it in one of the cups! Now that's just unbelievable. Of course I was really happy (and I mean really happy). I thought this story was worthy of a post in Around the Campfire. 5 Likes
Re: A Strange Little Story Reply #1 – January 19, 2020, 11:40:02 am Ed,Always enjoy a happy ending. Ya know, with all today’s miniaturized electronics, I’m kinda surprised that a manufacturer hasn’t been able to place a homing signal in hearing aids, glasses etc.Maybe next year.Kent 1 Likes

Re: A Strange Little Story Reply #4 – January 19, 2020, 01:30:00 pm "It had somehow fallen out of my ear."My hearing aids are 'synchronized' so that they can talk to one another. Should they become separated by more that the thickness of my head (a big spread) the one will call to the other and set up an acoustic feedback loop which should lead you back to the one that is 'lost'. 1 Likes

Re: A Strange Little Story Reply #9 – January 19, 2020, 02:46:06 pm Today’s hearing aids do actually have a homing device, of sorts! Mine is made by Oticon and was issued by the VA. There’s a software app on my phone that will help find it if I lose it. Amazing! If Ed’s is as small as mine, it’s no wonder he lost it!

Re: A Strange Little Story Reply #12 – January 19, 2020, 03:42:55 pm Great story, Ed, and it means I have to share mine.Years ago, when I was still hiking, my buddy Jim and I would hike through high desert BLM lands east of our campground. We each had hearing aids the size and shape of Ed's. One afternoon, Jim was moaning and wailing that he had been hiking and lost one of his hearing aids. It was orange in color. As best he could figure, he had lost it on a hike that afternoon. The next day, I went out hiking. I was walking through rough terrain, looking down and watching my footing and looking for interesting rocks, not, I repeat, not, on any trail. Well, I am sure you are ahead of me in this tale. Yep, I saw something orange and bent down to check it out. It was my buddy's hearing aid.If one looked at the terrain where I found it, this would be hard to believe. There was no trail, not even a hint of one. I was moving carefully between thorny brush. I had not been in that spot before, but clearly, Jim had beaten me there by one day.He was a very happy camper that afternoon.Ken F in NM 4 Likes

Re: A Strange Little Story Reply #14 – January 19, 2020, 05:54:04 pm I have a story to add also. A friend's mother had Alzheimer's and was newly put into a rehab center (to help after a fall). My friend had sent with her the mother's new expensive hearing aids, so that she could hear the staff talking to her. A day or two later, the hearing aids were missing. The room was searched everywhere, the staff was asked, no hearing aids - the mother had no idea where they were. About an hour later, the mother said what is in my Brassiere as she patted it. Yup, the missing hearing aids. The mother never stored things previously in her brassiere, but Alzheimer's changes everything about the person. Jane
Re: A Strange Little Story Reply #15 – January 20, 2020, 12:48:25 am Hearing aids...One more tale of woe:My Mom wore hearing aids. One year while visiting, one of her hearing aids disappeared. Mom traveled with a German Shepherd Dog that I bought and trained for her. She was certain that Tasha had gotten a-hold of her hearing aid and ate it.Mom told me that the hearing aid was so darned expensive, that "we" had to retrieve it. For the next week, I put each of Hannah's poops in a plastic bag and squeezed my way through the warm feces, feeling for a hard lump that might be Mom's hearing aid. (I inflated each bag first, wary of even the tiniest leaks!) I had no idea that dog pooped that much.At the end of Mom's visit and she was packing her suitcase, she came out and said "Harold, guess what I found in my medicine bag? My hearing aid!"Mom had a mean sense of humor... 6 Likes
