One afterthought: people bought Tesla cars years ago to be more "green". They were lauded for making a good choice. I don't think they should be punished now because Musk has become a raving nutter.

Oh, and partner has been great support. He even made a thermos of tea for when we were waiting in hospital.

Or turn away from the mic to look at the screen behind them and tell you about the picture. "This picture ....... and the next one .....". Ugh. I'm not going to turn up the hearing aid to try and make out what you're saying!

Even with a hearing loss starting at 1kHz, I still enjoy listening to music. I miss some of the subtlety and a lot of the high sounds, but the hearing aids help. The only thing that bugs me is when people are talking, they need subtitles or lessons on how to use a mic.
