Something that's always worked for me is to merely mouth the words to the potential recipient. The trick is to make sure little or no sound escapes from your lips (sometimes difficult to accomplich with a straight face). When they ask you to repeat it, simply write on a piece of paper the following: "Hearing loss in this register can sometimes be a source of great irritation, wouldn't you agree?". Make sure your tools are already packed...I won my last fight by 2 blocks!! Brian De Tar RPT BDeTar@aol.com
