Bet if we took a survey on masks that close to 100% of people who use hearing aids or cochlear implants would hate them with a passion! Do you know anyone who has lost a hearing aid due to masks? I know several.

My husband lost a hearing aid while walking toward the car. I haven’t lost hearing aids because I wait until I’m home or in the car to take them off in case a hearing aid comes off with it. It is a nuisance but I really need to wear the mask. Rest of my husband’s story; locally could not get matching hearing aid so went looking online and found the one he needed. They agreed on a price. Then they couldn’t supply him with the one missing hearing aid so they offered him two hearing aids for the same price. We have learned that we don’t have to buy hearing aids from our audiologist, we can get them less expensively other places.
