This is a true story. I live in Hawaii and went to visit my grandma in California. My grandma's smoke alarm chirped for about five weeks. She thought she had a cricket in her bathroom and all but scrubbed the paint off the wals with pine sol trying to get rid of that cricket. I happened to visit her and said, "Oh Grandma, good I'm here. I can change the battery in your smoke alarm." Needless to say I was the heroine of the month with my grandma. So, Lenny, there may be no relief in ear for awhile.
