I periodically lose my hearing in my right ear because of other things going on in the right side of my body. It lasts for a few days, then I wake up one day and can hear again. It lasted for two weeks last time, though. Hearing disappeared on that side two days ago and I already want it back this time.
@weirdfizz When my brain does that with my impaired hearing, it tries to replace the words I don't hear right with dirty ones.
@AskTheDevil I'm so glad it's not just me! My brain turned "single" into "sinful" yesterday and I was trying to figure out how my sister-in-law could have gotten a sinful bag of chips.
The things I mishear give us great entertainment, though! The combination of obstructed hearing and delayed auditory processing often does that. It happens more often when hearing disappears on one side.
I still don't know what was said in a commercial last night, but it probably wasn't what I heard. "Chicken balls falling apart."
