Can you hear me NOW?!

About a year and a half ago my dad got himself a brand new set of hearing aids. After wearing them precisely ONE time he put them away in his bedside drawers (the right aid in the right drawer and the left aid in the left drawer) and they have been there ever since. Tho his drawers are hearing much better ever since, my dad, however is not. And after much cajoling, etc. from the entire family he finally succumbed and began trying to wear them this last time i was there. One night while we were having dinner he got this odd look on his face and I asked him what was going on? He replied: "hold on a minute, I'm getting a message from Captain Marvel in my left ear!!!" We all busted up.
