As we get older we start losing our eyesight and hearing ability, we have invented ways to at least mitigate our senior shortcomings, glasses, and hearing aids have become the essential kit for much older folk.
Age brings stubbornness, as we see older people behave like kids sometimes and have trouble accepting their weaknesses. This is where the family needs to step in and give a little push!
Grandson Ryan Kober shared the same thing recently when he noticed that his grandpa and great uncle’s hearing aids weren’t functioning properly as it should, despite their disagreement. He took them both to get a check, documenting the process on Twitter.
“It was my mother’s idea actually,” Ryan told Bored Panda. “The two of them normally refuse to get anything done about it, even though the whole family has wanted them to get their hearing aids taken care of for a while now.”
“My mom asked me if I could go with them the next time they had an appointment since they speak broken English and are hard of hearing. We wanted to make sure everything was taken care of properly and they left the place being able to hear me talk to them at a normal volume for once, instead of screaming.”
Two cantankerous, partially deaf brothers arguing and messing around is hilarious and heartwarming, as they eventually give in to amazement at being able to hear properly again. “They can hear each other great now,” Ryan said. “Uncle is still adjusting because this is his first time with them.”
“They have no idea what the internet is so they don’t know they are being talked about! The most they know about the online world is that I can look up the score of baseball and soccer games really quickly.”
This is the most beautiful thing about having a family is all about, everyone cares for each other and making sure everyone should be fit and healthy, even if they don’t necessarily agree at first. Look how happy the old fellas are now!
The brothers live in Malta and have been living with each other for as long as Ryan can remember. “They love each other a lot but they definitely fight like brothers tend to do,” he explained. “But it’s mainly because they couldn’t hear each other at all!”
Now, they are able to communicate properly again, they might enjoy a more peaceful time together.
