"I'm 53 and have been rocking
my hearing aids for nearly 3 years. I had my hearing checked after my daughter
suggested that I needed to (I had promised her I would not behave like her
stubborn grandparents). My hearing loss is moderate, and wow, the world sounds
so much better when I have my ears in. Besides not having to ask people to
repeat themselves, music sounds phenomenal again - and apparently my dryer has
a squeak." Barbara
" For
too long many members of the hearing loss community and the hearing public
believe that people with hearing loss have intellectual problems. Nothing can
be further from the truth. Pres. Bill Clinton, Tom Brokaw, Steve Colbert, NYC
Police Commisioner Ray Kelly, Pres. Ronald Reagan and now Jennifer Finney
Boylan to name just a few famous people all have come out of the hearing loss
closet and it's about time. Listen up America, hearing loss is nothing to be
ashamed of." Howard
"Speaking just
to the quality of life, putting on hearing aids after functioning so long
without them makes you realize a few things. When I stepped out of the
audiologist's office, I could hear the birds chirping. Been a long time. I could
understand someone in a conversation, and didn't need to guess at the words
they were saying. I could hear traffic approaching from in front of and behind
me. No more closed caption, which I found irritated my friends and family to a
degree. And I didn't need to say "what?" 3 or 4 times to understand
someone." Steve
"Having
hearing aids is way cooler than saying "what?" over and over, or
lamely nodding in agreement when you have no idea what the person you're
talking to just said. It's also cooler than avoiding noisy social situations
like restaurants and parties." Bruce
