The following is a dialogue that occurred between the other Au.D. extern at clinic & me yesterday during our lunch break...
FRIEND: If I don't dress up for Halloween this year, it'll be the first year that I haven't dressed up for it.
ME: What were you for Halloween last year?
FRIEND: A dental aide.
ME: Cool.
FRIEND: Yeah, I wore a white shirt. I had yellow fabric on the front. And I also had red jewels for paprika.
ME IN MY HEAD: Huh? Paprika? Oooookay.
FRIEND CONTINUES: I also wore heels and horns & a tail.
ME IN MY HEAD: HUH?!?!
ME TO FRIEND: Um, what were you for Halloween?
FRIEND: A deviled egg.
Hey, anyone know of an audiologist? ;-P Ha ha, kidding! Maybe you had to be there, but that confusion had me cracking up to the point of tears when she said "a deviled egg" and it all made sense to me. That's actually a really cute Halloween costume idea. Good thing she didn't tell me about having been the tooth fairy for Halloween two years ago first, because if she started off with that, I don't think I would have asked her to clarify what she dressed up as last year since 'teeth' would have seemed to be a theme with her & costumes. Heh heh.
October is National Audiology Awareness Month and National Protect Your Hearing Month. Guess I should get my hearing checked. ;-) A number of people get an annual eye exam. Why not get your hearing tested yearly too? Particularly if you notice a decrease in hearing. Per the American Academy of Audiology website, approximately 36 million Americans suffer from hearing loss. Please check out www.audiology.org/resources/consumer/audiologyawareness for fact sheets, etc.
I'm "Hear 4 U Always"...and hoping to avoid any more auditory 'trick' situations. Treat your ears well by not putting anything in your ear (yup, don't use Q-tips!) and turning the volume down when listening to music on the radio or MP3 player. Hope the 10th month of the year is a 10 for you, readers!

LOL! ROFLMAO! That was too funny! I can just imagine you saying "oookay" and your facial expression when saying it. I had the same reaction as you. But I was thinking if she was one crazy person making fun of being a dental aide and saying the paprikas were flossed out from a patient or something. LOL!!! Thanks for sharing!
