> Bert feared his wife Peg wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he
> thought she might need a hearing aid.

> Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to
> discuss the problem.

>
> The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could
> perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.

> 'Here's what you do,' said the Doctor, 'stand 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 was In
> the den. 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 dinner?'
>
>
> No response.
>
>
> So the husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his
> wife and repeats, 'Peg, what's for dinner?'
>
>
> Still no response.
>
>
>
>
> Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his
> Wife and asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner..?'
>
>
> Again he gets no response.
>
>
> So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. 'Honey,
> what's for dinner..?'
>
>
> Again there is no response.
>
>
> So he walks right up behind her. 'Peg, what's for dinner..?'
