Do not laugh folks but I have a genuine OAP problem - I have lost a pair of hearing aids in the bedroom and I was just wondering if there is some sort of mini metal detector dfvice that can detect those small round batteries as I have only just received them and will cost £100 to replace.

Sincerely genuine problem - at my wits end - please HELP

Please don't take the PISS

My ex-wife left me for a deaf man. To be honest, I should have seen the signs.

Anyway, finding lost stuff is pretty easy.

Is there anyone else that could have moved them?
Is there anywhere else in the house you have worn / had them? You may think they are in the bedroom, but are they..?
Is there anything they could have fallen behind?
Is there anything that may have covered them? A pair of stray underpants or a sweaty t-shirt?
Are you looking straight at it but not seeing it?
Has it become displaced, for example become moved to the back of a drawer when you've looked for something else?

The most important thing is to look once, and look well. Unless you're like Mr Trebus then you should be able to search slowly and methodically - don't make the mistake of doing a half-arsed search. Split the room into zones and look properly and carefully until you are sure you can tick the zone off.

If all else fails, have a cup of coffee and chill out. You'll remember where they are in about 3 hours time.

Is it true that hearing aids amplify sound, if so try shouting sisu out under your bed and see where the echo is coming from. This probably won't work but i will be pmsl imagining you doing it

I am not religious in any way but my missus always swears by st Anthony the patron saint of lost things (I think)
Say a little few words to him asking him to find the item but don't take the piss out of him.
Then look everywhere you previously did and it will miraculously turn up
I know it sounds Bollocks but it works honestly.!!!!
I used to poo poo it but now swear by him

Thanks everyone for your input to my dilemma - I knew you wouldn't take the piss (you fecking did with a vengeance) but 1st prize goes to WINGY and I will purchase one of those handheld metal detectors he recommends.

Many thanks for the laughs and advice

I sometimes use hearing aids (I'm an old fart as well!), but when my batteries need replacing, I just go along to the hearing clinic at the hospital and get them replaced for free. Can't understand how they're costing £100?

Whenever I go near my father in law his hearing aid is always breaking out with a whistling sound. you can either invite me round to your bedroom (easy tiger!) and I'll try and set off the batteries - other advice is to have a look in the last place that you saw them (my wife's ever helpful advice). By the way, I can fix that loose tile on your roof for £500 (cash)
