Living with a hearing aid at a young age?
Stuart asked:
Over the last few years I had noticed I just wasnt catching everything that was being said, and that it was actually somewhat of a hindrance socially and on the job (annoying). Just earlier this semester I got a hearing aid. It works well but people have noticed it. I dont know if I should keep it. Glasses seem accepted in today’s society, but what about hearing aids? I mean I’m 19 and its kind of awkward that while youre talking to someone they look at your ear =/ Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

tell them it is a football injury, or you got kick in the ear when you were saving a little girl from being kicked by a horse.. make them feel bad for looking at you funny..
when they say “really, is that what happened’.. look at them and say “no. I was born with some hearing lose”

Do you want to hear or look cool? If cool is the answer get one of those little ones that fit right in you ear or one that looks like a blue tooth or like an I pod.

hearing aids
I remember when I was a very little kid and i saw a kid with a hearing aid for the first time. I was probably 4 or 5 years old and at that time the hearing aids required a ear piece but the hearing aid part was about as big as a deck of cards are pack of cigarettes and fit in a shirt pocket or whatever.
Be glad todays hearing aids are almost unnoticable.
I work with a guy who has double hearing aids and he is always joking about it actually. saying stuff like im deaf in one ear and cant hear out of the other. very good natured guy. just be that type of person.. no one really cares anyway and if they do its their problem. the person you are is in the heart not the electronics.
