😀 Wanted to share your book since I'm also about 20% deaf in both ears. I finally felt bad for my wife blasting the tv all the time and got the hearing aids. Good luck with your book sales, sir!

I agree, I do like the warmth, just not working it in. I work for the NHS, so when you have to work on a ward that smells of raw poop in 35degrees. lol
