What happens to your hearing as you age? Does everyone's hearing go south?
I find that it is selective—with my parents, I pretty much prepare once words come out of my mouth that I’ll have to repeat it at least once, after getting a “Whatttt?” in response to the first attempt.
Conversely, getting up in the middle of the night and stepping on a creaky board will merit a “WHAT WAS THAT, WHAT WAS THAT” from them so loudly it wakes up everyone.

Yup. You should see an audiologist around age 50 to check your hearing and establish a baseline.

yes. Very gradually every sense deteriorates. That is hy they are also heavy handed on salt, sugar, butter and spices. Cognitive decline also happens.

I miss them but they are so loud! I didn't realize how quiet of a family we were until visiting after so many years.
