After months of gentle urging from his wife, a man finally had to admit he needed a hearing aid.
The audiologist confirmed it. "How much do they cost?" he asked her.
"As you might expect," she said, "There's quite a wide range. They run from $2.00 to $2,000."
"Wow, the low end is lower than I would have ever guessed!" he said. "Let's see the $2.00 model."
The woman gave a knowing nod, and pulled it out of the closest drawer. "You just stick this button in your ear and run this little string down to your pocket," she said.
"How does it work?" the man asked.
"Oh now, come on! For $2.00 it doesn't work!" she said.
"I don't understand," the man said, but the woman had heard that before.
"When people see it on you," she said, "they know to talk louder."
i dont get it
ReplyDeletei loled
ReplyDeletei don't get it
ReplyDeleteI think the button and string is trying to look like the man is wearing an Ipod so people see that and try speaking louder
ReplyDeleteI lol'd
ReplyDeleteIt makes you look like you have ear buds in and listening to a mp3 player.
ReplyDeleteshe's describing earbud headphones
ReplyDeleteIt's made to look like a hearing aid and people will instinctively talk louder around the person.
ReplyDeleteThe reason you don't get it is because there's nothing to get... it isn't funny.
ReplyDeleteShe's saying that when people see someone with a hearing aid, they'll speak louder even though the presence of the device would normally indicate that any hearing loss was being compensated for. Get it? Ha ha . . .
ReplyDeleteearbuds, get it now?
ReplyDeleteI lol'd.
ReplyDeleteearbuds, get it now?
For those of you who don't get it...it represents headphones.
ReplyDeleteIt's like an earbud (headphones). People will think he's listening to music and talked louder.
ReplyDeletelolololololololololololololol
ReplyDeleteLol.
ReplyDeleteA little button in your ear and a string to your pocket. What does that look like? That looks like you are listening to you mp3-player!
Hope you lol now.
so funny i almost died
ReplyDelete@^^ it will represent a old hearing aids, the ones with the wire going to the battery box/ volume control.
ReplyDeleteits like you are wearing headphones
ReplyDeleteIt mimics headphones...
ReplyDeleteIt's like headphones... not funny
ReplyDeleteThat didn't make me laugh. The moral of the story is that with the button and string people will think you have a real hearing aid, and thinking you still wouldn't hear them, will automstically talk louder.
ReplyDeletefucking stupid.
ReplyDeleteIt means that the time someone sees you with a hearing aid they will increase theirvokume to talk to you....
ReplyDeleteThat was so awesome.
ReplyDeleteAs anyone who wears hearing aids knows, people who see you with one tend to talk much louder than usual. It actually gets pretty annoying. I'm wearing this thing so that you *don't* have to shout...
ReplyDeleteFunny joke though. Love it.
It's not very funny even if you do get it.
ReplyDeleteits not headphones you retards, its a fake hearing aid
