.........Hearing aids won't help my one ear (nerve damage) and it doesn't make sense to put one in the other ear if I'm doing fine. I might have to in 15 - 20 years from now, but for now things are ok.
........Well I'm not totally deaf .......sometimes it is a blessing ....seriously it does not effect my work unless I cannot look directly at & speak with the customers.
.......I would highly value a former Vietnam medic's opinion, especially on gunshot wounds. They have seen too many wounded and are apt at seeing foregone conclusions.
BTW I think BiTCH is perfect!!
