Hearing test...

An elderly gentleman feared his wife was getting hard of hearing. So one day he called her doctor to make an appointment to have her hearing  checked. The doctor made an appointment for a hearing testv in two weeks, and meanwhile there's a simple informal test the husband could do to give the doctor some idea of the state of her problem.
 
"Here's what you do," said the doctor. "Start out about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response."
 
That evening the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he's in the living room. He says to himself, I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens.
 
Then in a normal tone he asks, "Honey, what's for supper?"

No response.

So the husband moved to the other end of the room, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, "Honey, what's for supper?"

Still no response.
 
Next he moved into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, "Honey, what's for supper?"

Again he gets no response.
 
So he walks up to the kitchen door, only 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for supper?"

Again there is no response.
 
So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for supper?"
 
 
(I just love this!)
 
 
 
 
"Dang it Earl, for the fifth time, CHICKEN !!

Audiometry is a method of testing the hearing capacity of an individual. It is used to diagnose the extent of hearing loss in a person suffering from suspected hearing loss, or other disorders of the ear. In this test each ear is tested separately. The sounds begin with the lowest frequency that is increased till the person is able to hear the sound. The patient indicates as such by raising a hand, and the audiometer reading is noted.
