HL: It has. I can read and I have devices to hook up to my phone through my hearing aids. But I watched the Democratic debates. I made myself watch the debates. MP: Was there an awakening or any moment after those two months that it changed for you? HL: Well, no, I got better. What happened was I got better for about five days. And then I got crappy again. I gauge it one to ten. Ten is what I was before this happened. When I first had my right ear go out about 30 years ago, I went to an old, wise E.

If you are of a certain age, this is a thing you know, because Casey Kasem would say it over and over during the year and a half Sports pitched singles up the Top Forty.
