Skip feared that his wife, Mary Ann, wasn't hearing as well as she once did, and thought
that she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called their
family doctor to discuss the problem.

The doctor told Skip there is a simple informal test Skip himself could perform that
might give the doctor a better idea about Mary Ann's hearing loss.

"Here's what you do," said the Doctor, "stand about 40 feet away from Mary Ann, and in
a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then
try 20 feet, and so on until you get a response."

That evening, Mary Ann is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and Skip was in the den. Skip
says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away from Mary Ann, let's see what happens."

In a normal tone he asks, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

No response.

So the husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from Mary Ann and repeats,
"Honey, what's for dinner?"

Still no response.

Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks,
"Honey, what's for dinner?"

Again, he gets no response.

So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for dinner?"

Once again, there is no response.

So he walks right up behind her. "Mary Ann! What's for dinner?"
