Hearing aids are not successful for everybody. This can be due in part to the type of hearing loss or the type of listening environment the hearing aid user is trying to overcome. However, many times it is due your resistance of the use of hearing aids and unrealistic expectations that we have created in order to convince ourselves to obtain hearing aids. Our resistance to wear hearing aids is similar to the resistance of riding a bike with a helmet or the use of seatbelts. If others would speak up, then I wouldn't have a hearing problem.
Hearing aids cost too much for a piece of plastic and a couple of speakers.
I've talked to my friends, and none of them feel that hearing aids help. To find a hearing health care professional in your area code in the United States go to the Hearing Directory .
