Will this be SIRI compatible.
Considering she runs woman's voice system 7.3?

My wife said to me just a while ago "You haven't been listening to a thing I've said, have you?"
I thought "Thats a strange way to start a conversation."

A good laugh! That is EXACTLY how my hearing aids work. Really!
They are 32 channel models and seem to put my wife's voice into channel 33.

We have the "Fridgeaphone." All important messages are passed on to me while Her head is stuck in the bloody fridge. Today She is complaining of sunburn after a stint in the garden. More likely the fridge light I reckon.

Frank feared his wife Peg wasn’t hearing as well as she used to and he
thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her,
he talked to the family Doctor to discuss the problem.
The Doctor told him there was a simple informal test the husband
could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.
Here’s what you do,’ said the Doctor, ‘stand about 40 feet away
from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears
you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a
response.’
That evening, Frank’s wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was
in the den. He says to himself, ‘I’m about 40 feet away, let’s see what
happens.’ Then in a normal tone he asks, ‘Honey, what’s for dinner?’
No response.
So the husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his
wife and repeats, ‘Peg, what’s for dinner?’
Still no response.
Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from
his wife and asks, ‘Honey, what’s for dinner?’
Again he gets no response.
So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. ‘Honey,
what’s for dinner?’ Again there is no response.
So he walks right up behind her. ‘Peg, what’s for dinner?’
(I just love this)
‘Frank, for the FIFTH time, CHICKEN!’

I stopped wearing mine. I kept thinking someone was following me. It was my own footsteps that I hadn't heard for decades.

If you think your own footsteps are following you, it may be time for a chat to the nice man with the comfortable couch:D

I had been working testing and bring up process control systems for GE. My normal shift was evenings or 3PM to Midnight. The foreman was really irritated with me and moved me to graveyards, Midnight to 8AM. One of my new co-workers was wearing ear plugs for hearing protection. I thought what the heck and tried a pair for myself.
The first night I wore the ear plugs I drove home with them in my ears. Upon entering the house with everyone sleeping I took the ear plugs out and put them on the counter. Then I set about trying to make breakfast. With every step I took there was this "shssss, shssss" sound. I was really concerned about the strange sound until I realized that is was my legs rubbing together with every step. I had never heard the sound before. Right then and there I decided ear protection at automobile races, in computer rooms, in the shop and in any loud environment is mandatory.

My sentiments exactly. Three scenarios come to mind. a) head in the cupboard, b) walking away and telling me something, and, c) looking out of the window of the car whilst yakking.
