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.

Thanks from me too @imallears

You and I have been involved in HLAA for many years and are well aware of all the crazies that have come along with the development of hearing aids. I actually have a collection of old advertisements for hearing aids that go back to the 1930s. They all make false claims that are intended to sell a product. Not sure where that collection is, but if I ever find it I'll share a few of them.

HLAA has educated millions of people over its existence. I hope HLAA will educate millions more. The problem now is getting those who need the information HLAA shares to be aware of the organization. From its early days, this organization has helped people understand what hearing loss does to a person, along with advocating for better products, truthful advertising, and much more.

Yes, it's right to be offended by these off the wall advertisements that add stigma to an invisible disability that over 48 million Americans live with.
