Making beaucoup $$ trumps our stupidity for loosing our hearing in the first place.
Its really eye opening how some treat others with non visible handicaps. I know I need some, too.
I can put up with the consternation from strangers, HELL, I could spend the rest of my life in happy silence if I didnt have to listen to all the idiots in my life, but the family frustration is pushing me very hard.

Not always our stupidity. First 8 years of my time in USAF they put me behind a CRT which was radiating into my brain and told me to write on the glass with a grease pencil. Almost everyone in tactical radar controller career field lost most of their hearing and has a ringing in their ears.
Well, you can protect some hearing loss, but not all. Same with vision loss or the decline of any of our bodily gifts from God. Everything wears out.
Yep, my family members screeched at me for several years, but the real motivator was having a 120 students, mostly female with the higher pitched voices, asking questions I could not hear.
Delta21, Neoliberalnot,
I agree that the hearing aid costs are exorbitant, and that the frustration level on hearing & non hearing folks is high.
But some people are born with the handicap; they never had a chance to avoid noise.
