My hubbie got his first set of hearing aides yesterday and he's really psyched.

That's great. Hope your husband does well with the hearing aids. Crisp sounds might make him a little anxious at first but he should adjust in time. My husband has had some hearing loss over the years. He refuses to check it out by having a hearing test. He always tells me I turn my head when I talk or mumble. Others can hear me since I'm not a soft spoken person. He has his cell volvume turned way up and also has the volume on the television loud. But he claims there is nothing wrong with his hearing. I give up trying to convince him to see an ENT doctor or an audiologist.

my roomie's dad needs some, but he's an a$$ and won't get them until he's stone deaf!

Great that you and your husband are happy and that your husband listens to you. . I am proud of my partner as he doing everything for our family, he is not so expressive but I know how important and how much he loves us, his family. Sometimes, I get overwhelmed from my fondness for him just by looking at him.

I'm so happy for your hubby! It's amazing how even "annoying" noises like the rustling of papers can be heaven sent after not hearing them for so long. :) My husband consistently does things that amaze me. He's extremely thoughtful on a daily basis, and if only with little things that make my life easier, I am thankful for it. For example, although I make more money out of the both of us, I'm home more often, and I also do the laundry, clean-up of our house, mopping, sweeping, litterboxes, etc. His only chore has been to do garbage since he works outside of the home full-time. Yet every single day, without complaint, he'll cook and do dishes, too. It's one less thing I have to do that he has picked up without a word. He also makes coffee periodically throughout the day, and before I even know it's brewing he'll set a cup in front of me with the number of sweeteners I use. It's the cutest, smallest gesture and yet it means the world. Your husband is smart. Many men would wait until the last possible second to look into something like that, and he didn't. I've had some minor problems with my eyes that I waited forever to get checked, and my husband was there reminding me daily that I needed to look into it. Our roles are kind of switched in our household, to say the least! I hope the hearing aides keep working for him! :)
