I am a hearing aid user for less than two years, so really a “newbie”. I have hyperacusis and so using my aids is tricky, and less effective than I had hoped.
It was surprising (and silly) to me that so much conversation went into which aid was less visible. I freely admit I am a vain person. I like to look as good as I can, but this is ridiculous.
I told the Audiologist that I did not care what was most visible, I wanted what was most effective.
He said “Oh yes, you CARE.”
So foolish.
