Talking Audiograms, my first was at the Belgrano, stuck in a little booth listening for the beeps. Nursey eventually opens the door and asks ‘which ear did you say you had the ache in?’ I point at my right, ‘Hmmmmm’ shuts the door and wanders off, suddenly sounds in my right ear. Back she comes, turns the headset around, wanders off and sounds in my left ear (out of the right earpiece). Luckily it was the left earpiece that was faulty, or I’d have failed the initial medical on grounds of an ear infection.
Fairly recently on a renewal, in the Doctors house, he sits me down in his Dining Room with the automated Audiogram machine on the table behind me, turns it on and says he’ll be back in a while. I’m sitting there happily hearing beeps and pushing the button, when suddenly Mrs Doctor decides to hoover the Hall. Audiogram in full flow and me just too far away from the door to nudge it shut with my toe. Still, managed to pass it.
