I have just had a lengthy and surreal conversation with my OHwho is wide awake, unusually for him at this time. He has been telling me about this noise, which is at last more pleasant so maybe he will sleep now. The noise had woken him up, and was very loud and nasty he realised I couldn't hear it so tried for a long time to explain it to me. It is controlled by something in his groin, but definitely heard by his ears using his hearing aid, he checked that was in, yes it was- well no actually they are on the side table as usual over night. It also mattered whether the bed clothes were pulled up or down. And so it went on with the explanation starting over and over again and getting to a point of silence, then having another go. It was important that I understood, and I did my best not only to really understand, but also to go with the flow. But not satisfactorily.
This was a first, and though he has relaxed a bit and let me go on to bed as he could see I was dropping in my tracks, I would appreciate ideas on how to cope better or at least be more helpful next time, as I feel sure it will happen again. Thanks
