You're overthinking Emily Litella, trying to diagnose a funny character with a medical condition. Do you think Chaplin's Little Tramp had a leg deformity, or we shouldn't laugh at Red Skelton's Willie Lump Lump because alcoholism is a serious problem? C'mon, lighten up.

I've been wearing two hearing aids since 1981 and should have way before that. As of two months ago they told me they had good news, my hearing is so bad there's no sense in buying hearing aids with all the bells and whistles because I wouldn't hear either. So don't lecture me on misinterpretations of conversation, eh.
