Are you afraid to wear glasses also? The unnecessary stigma about wearing hearing aids is going, going, hopef6soon gone! The younger generation are not afraid - they wear red, turquoise or purple ones to show they are not afraid to get help for themselves- true advocacy spirit! Us baby boomers are catching up. In Europe, few have qualms about showing they CARE about being able to hear. God created man (and woman) who created hearing aids and glasses to help. Not admitting needed help actually removes joy and the chance for better opportunities from our lives
