I wonder why he refuses to wear it??? ;)
**************
Most of the time old people refuse to acknowledge that they have a hearing problem ,, you’re just mumbling! And look right at me when you talk damnit! You know that makes it hard to hear...
But the worst is that because they can’t hear they don’t know the volume of their voice .. so they usually speak very low themselves making you ask them to repeat constantly...
I would suggest it is just something else to worry about and take time to fool with
As one who wears a hearing aid and actually lost another, I want to advise my fellow Freepers on the subject. There are very good hearing aids available for a range of prices on Ebay. You can get a good one for $100 and a really good one for a little more. I actually replaced the lost one fo $100 and wear it exclusively to watch TV where I find it hard to understand some women or whispered dialogue.
Although Chinese stuff is frowned on by many here, remember there are more old Asian men that can’t hear than Americans. They are a huge market and are served well.
To pay thousands for a hearing aid is foolish with the large variety available on ebay of both Asian, European and American manufacture
