I had some temporary hearing loss when I had some inner ear problems but thankfully it went away once I got everything fixed.
Moray, I think that this could give you some sympathy with the ladies....or a really good excuse to get them alone. You could say, "I'm really interested in what you're saying but my hearing loss is making it hard for me to hear you. Can we go someplace quieter? Like my bedroom?" |

| Yeah, I guess that's a lot better than a name tag. |

Mad props if you could pull that one off!
But seriously, this you should do a PSA for the Travis board about why you should wear earplugs at gigs and clubs. I've seen several articles about how they are seeing hearing loss in younger and younger folks. They also cite the use of headphones as a cause. |

A name tag may make me look simple. Especially if I was wearing my mittens tied on a string through my duffel coat.
Anne's idea is much smoother! |

I have no flirting ability whatsoever and never have. |

PSA? Personal Safety Audit?
Seriously, it was a shock to the system to be told a frequency band of my hearing was degrading faster than is the accepted norm for someone my age. And you're right, it's purely down to clubbing, gigging and in ear headphones. I was offered ear plugs when working bar at gigs, however like a proper macho type male, I refused to wear as I didn't think it would make me look 'cool'. |

I've been accused of flirting when I wasn't even trying. (by friends, before I was married) I think I just have a playful personality so it can be seen that way even if I don't intend it to be that way.
I guess I've reigned it in and thankfully my husband is so not jealous. |

Anyone else have this problem?! I know Pete Townshend does after years of gigging. Didn't expect it to happen to me!
I heard Pete's main part of deafness was due to that amplifier blowing up right next to him. Fabulous eh.
I think I am a bit deaf, i used to have hearing problems and they fitted me up with grommits (or however they're spelt) and then my hearing was fine. But lately I really do think my hearing's a bit poor. And I certainly have selective hearing hahaha |

I'm not sure if I have this ability either...

Good guess. Must be a more American term.
PSA = Public Service Announcement.
The Office mocked the ones that NBC (their station does) called "The More You Know"
All of their fake PSAs |

| I heard an interview with Pete Townsend years and years ago. He said it makes him sad when a little child comes up to him and wants to talk and he can't hear a word they're saying. |
