Have you ever heard that hearing aid commercial on the radio
where the woman says something about “Mom and Dad”, and then the old angry guy
yells out in this gruff voice rather meanly, “Who’s Mom and Dan? Who’s Mom and
Dan?” Now, I’m as sensitive to the elderly as the next guy. But for this guy to
say in that tone that he thinks “Mom and Dad” is “Mom and Dan” might indicate
that he has more issues going than just hearing loss. First of all, “Mom and
Dad” is pretty hard to screw up, isn’t it? I mean, those words go together like
apple and pie, or mental and health. Secondly, if you associate Mom with Dan,
instead of Dad, maybe you have some family issues. Lastly, based on the guy’s
tone, if this guy is my patient, anger management would likely take priority
over the hearing aid.
Happy Father’s Day!
