He begins to unintentionally ignore family and co-workers and is continually missing out on conversations.
His wife finally takes him to get a hearing aid, powered by the battery.
"Wow, that's amazing," the grandfather says, shedding a tear as he hears clearly, at last.
The campaign coincides with National Hearing Month. Duracell is offering 50,000 free over-the-phone hearing tests.
