After a fewweeks, the man cameback to make sure thenew equipment wasworking properly,which it was. Thehearing specialist said,“It seems perfect. Yourfamily should bedelighted you canhear everything now.”“Oh no,” the manresponded. “I haven’ttold any of them. Ijust sit quietly,listening carefully. I’vechanged my will fourtimes.”
