If I include this explanation in the anecdote, it will lose 50% of its fun. The understanding that the English lord was deaf must come from the very last words of the story. ;)
Having to realize that the guy was mostly deaf and that that's the
reason the servent said what he said and that the guy couldn't hear
what the servent just said and that now the guy could hear the servent
because of the new hearing aid and that this is bad for the servent,
all at the same time, is a bit much to ask of a joke. Maybe one too
many things? But still nice, thanks.
