At 74 I never dreamed I would need or accept hearing aids – until the volume dial on the TV reached extra high, phone conversations became difficult to understand, the grandchildren repeated questions several times to which I replied No instead of Yes.
But now I laugh with comedians, hear the approaching ambulance siren, enjoy chatting with the grand kids and listening to nature – the birds, frogs, crickets, etc
The step I took improved my life considerably.
