I am fortunate in the fact that I did not get hearing aids until my 60’s. I should have probably gotten them several years earlier.
I agree that hearing aids are continuing to get better and I am encouraged that the research to regrow our hair cells is ongoing.
Hearing loss is an invisible disability in this country.
I can only hope that changes but change can only come if we demand it through the ADA. Auracast can be a great step forward if it is embraced by the business community. It can only be embraced if we push them to embrace it.
The country is only getting noisier. I notice it in restaurants and on the streets. Why restaurants feel they have to have background noise is a mystery to me. It just makes people eating there have to talk louder.
Our recent obsession with bigger and bigger SUV’s and pick up trucks is insane and after going to Europe totally unnecessary. They function very well with much smaller cars and SUV’s. What am I missing when every new model is wider and longer and many times noisier. What am I missing when I see people adding accessories to actually make their cars louder. You don’t see that in other countries.
Those of us with hearing loss have got to demand better from our country. Am I alone in feeling this way.
I welcome your comments.
