How i wish she was around so i could apologize for my Sharp Tongue and Lack of understand ing. Not being Able to hear is Plain hell and no one can understand it completely until it happens to them. Mason City Iowa dear Mason thanks Tor telling it like in is. So did thousands of others. From so Louis to look Dumbbell Stop telling people to get a hearing Aid. 1 have three in my drawer and not one of them is Worth a Hoot. When i took the last one in to be fixed i was told that my hearing problem cannot be helped with an Aid. What i want to know is Why they sold me three Tui the Promise that they would open a whole new world to me. I guess i should t be mad at them. They Are in business to sell hearing aids and if the can catch a sucker three times Good for them Hul Chinsop Kan Why Are people so Bloomin ignore anal i be had at least a dozen Well meaning friends say to me turn your hearing Aid  what they Don i realize is that the Aid magnifies Alt sounds and in noisy settings when you turn the Aid up All you get is louder Back ground noise. When a bartender is pouring a Glass of soda. It sounds like Niagara Falls. Caracas Venezuela i was All set to spend $900 on a hearing Aid when a Friend asked when did you last gel your cars flushed i told her i had never heard of in. She made an appoint Cal for me with the doctor and i went the very next week. Ann t was amazed suddenly my hear ing was better than it had been in Yean i could not by Ticic the improvement.

This procedure should be done by � physician. Huntington Beach Calif i have 13,000 Worth of hearing aids in my drawer and 1 still can t watch to. Want to know Why because the mood music played during the dramatic pan of the him is amplified by inc Aid and in drowns out the dialogue. Closed captions arc a godsend to people like me.

Please Tell your readers that the Best hearing Aid Isa thoughtful person who will look directly at you speak slowly pronounce each word distinctly and Slop at the end of a sentence for a slight pause. Although my hearing is less than 50 percent i can hear every word my dear wife says because she is a considerate kind thoughtful person. God docs indeed give with one Han and take with the other cafes theater regulations explained recently my wife and 1 went to the Rhein main base theater to see the  besides the usual rude insensitive curls who can t refrain from voicing their guttural reactions and comments to every scene in the movie or carrying on a completely disconnected conversation concerning their imagined sex life couple had brought in a Small baby and parked the stroller in the Middle aisle. The baby proceeded to Coo belch chortle and scream through inc whole movie. Left disgusted vowing again that this was my last Lime in an cafes theater. This situation was the topic of monday morning office conversation. Other people have shared this experience at other cafes Heaters. Why Are infants allowed in Heaters at least you can Tell the grown ups with infantile minds to shut up when the noise grows to a Din kids Don t know any belter. And if their parents Don t know any better Why Aren t Small children restricted from movies especially a Ralpd ones Why should one or two screaming infants disrupt the movie environment of 150 adults if the answer is something to the effect that con Gress has mandated that All cafes Heaters allow infants or that it s the patrons responsibility to Lilbert the theater management save the newsprint. Cafes needs to Lake responsibility at the door. Names withheld Frankfurt West Germany i would like to question cafes on its movie theater policies. What is he Standard age of admission for children attending pc-13 or a rated movies Musi they be supervised Are there any regulations prohibit ing parents from bringing infants and toddlers Load ult la Mcd movies what Are the seating policies on slower nights i understand that we arc privileged to enjoy first rate movies at half the Price of Normal theater rates we also get to Sec movies shortly Afler they run in the untied states. It is hard to enjoy these privileges though when there Are constant  and distractions. The first time we went to the outpost theater it was to see a movie rated p.g-13. There were 50 or 60 elementary school age children attending the movie in Chaperon cd. We realize they have a right to attend movies but they also infringe on other people s rights to enjoy the movie. They talked constantly yelled across the aisle to one another climbed Over the seats and bobbed up and Down in their scats. The movie obviously did t hold their attention. That could be Whytheyraicditpg-13. The second time we attended an a Ralpd movie. A couple brought their toddler to the theater. The child hollered through most of the movie. Finally the person m charge came Down and asked them to remove the child if they could t keep him Quick we realize there arc prob lems finding Good baby Sitters but docs that give others the right to disturb one s entertainment before the Start of that same movie we were told by the person in charge that we could Only sit on the right Side of the auditorium. There were a lol of people and very few scats left. It was hot and uncomfortable. Did they do that so they would Only have to clean up one Side of the Thea Ter should the paying customer be uncomfortable so thai he paid theater staff is not inconvenienced i m sure other people would like to be informed of these policies too. Name withheld Berlin editor s note Thomas Harrod Jan Cal Man Taftt Tri Border Arm Exchange cafes i rope re pies there s not too Many thing More Auer Avatine than going to see i movie and then not being Able to hear it because of the other  the responsibility for knowing How to behave Der Pitt movie should be with the person want Chung the movie. After All the also paid their Money to be then. In went some people Are Hist not mature enough to know How to Beh be either because of their Sec or their mental maturity when people Don t Bette themselves then the Thea Ter manager is supposed to come in and Tike control of the situation. If necessary the manager has inc Aal Hork to to ask hem to leave. It takes intestinal fortitude to ask a person to Law Tow theater Darins s Nvvf Una possibly cause a Kent if not done tactfully. We do have to remind on managers from time to time of heir responsibility and will certainly do in again at this time. Now we follow the tune guidelines for movies u that used by the motion picture association of America this gives you a uniform guide in Advance on the kind of subject Nutter you can expect from a Motle. The pg-13 rating gives notice that the mate is aimed for people Over 13 years old and parents should take thai into consideration when allowing heir children to Al tend. However there is no restriction on any age group for attending a pg-13 movie. An ruling Means the movie is meant for adult audiences. Cafes policy is to allow parents to Purchase the tickets for their children which gives parental consent to see the movie. This places the Burden of responsibility on the  to know what is appropriate for their child and to Trust their child to behave. In Berlin Here was a lest program to Only allow peo ple to sit in certain sections of the Shculer on off nights. The idea was to save time and Money in cleaning inc theater. This would then mean More Money available for mar and so on. The idea did t work. The theater has gone Back to on Healing realizing customer service is More important than a few minutes saved in cleaning. If you have a problem with the Way the theater is being operated or the policies covering the operation lease bring it to the attention of the Exchange manager a Berlin the Exchange manager is George Bass Tele phone civilian 03q.833.dg 1 2.
