No I shoulden't make fun. I have a sever hearing loss myself. I worked on the flight deck of aircraft carriers most of my 23 years in the navy. And the worst part is it is progressive. I can't make out what is being said on the TV half the time even though its up loud I just can't understand what their saying. I need to go back to the VA to get hearing aids but I really don't want to wear those things. I know I could have shot a nice buck last season if I could here the way I should but by the time I turned he was on the run.
