Could someone please help me correct these 5 sentences?
Could someone please help me correct these 5 sentences?
1 The hearing aid isn't adapted/adjusted to his ear.
2 Don't assume I'm willing to do that.
3 I like it more when she's the one getting yelled at rather than me.
4 Don't tell me your jokes are funny. You're not the judge of that, the listener is. They are the judge of whether it's funny or not.
I'm having trouble with the bold:
5 My credit card withdrawals didn't appear on my back account right away and in the meantime I had deposited money into my account. So my balance read more than I actually had since the bank hadn't taken into account my latest withdrawals and since I owed an establishment some money they seized what I owed them. Basically because of the lag between when I withdrew money from my account and the transaction appeared on my account, I found myself overdrawn and paying fees to the bank.
Thank you

As stated elsewhere, except for the first sentence, the others are okay.
However, I would word the first sentence thus: "The hearing aid doesn't fit his ear." (It can be adjusted to fit or adapted to fit, but both words are unnecessary.)
There are two ways to correct your paragraph. First, some minor grammatical changes (you need to break up the sentences into logica

Hope all is well,
