“I can hear you Doc, but I can’t get a grip on the words”
“Doc, people mumble all the time, they don’t speak up.”
Another patient put it this way: “Have you ever driven on the highway and listened to the same radio station for 40 or 50 miles and then the reception breaks up? Well, that’s how I hear people. When I hear people talk, I don’t have the clarity that I once had.”
