An elderly gentleman had been struggling with serious hearing problems for many years. Finally, he visited the doctor, who fitted him with a pair of hearing aids that restored his hearing completely.

A month later, he returned to the doctor for a follow-up. The doctor remarked, “Your hearing is excellent! I bet your family is thrilled to have you back in the conversation.”

The gentleman chuckled and replied, “Oh, I haven’t said a word to them yet. I just sit quietly and listen to their discussions. In fact, I’ve changed my will three times!”
