Hearing Loss: Come introduce yourself and connect with others

Hi,
I haven't seen the commercial but it sounds insensitive to me. What was the purpose of the commercial...in other words what where they selling and how was that interaction between the mom and daughter relevant to the product? Even if it was an ad for OTC hearing aids, it is not appropriate and no, you are not being overly sensitive. You can give details without mentioning the manufacturer....I am really curious and I would contact the company. I bet a lot of people may already have. Advertisers have pulled many commercials that the public found offensive.

Hi Mary, thank you for your response. The commercial is for Miracle Ear. It is a tv spot featuring 75 years Melissa and Deborah and it looks like it came out in June. You can search for it online. I think it shows on the iSpot.tv but you can search on YouTube and it should bring it up. I checked with our Moderator before posting the additional information to stay within guidelines.

It was an advertisement for a hearing aid. I apologize for omitting that info.
