[quote=Anonymous]It is difficult to get hearing aids later in life if the person has had hearing loss for a long time and is only now addressing. The brain has trouble adjusting once the hearing loss is significant. Everything is just loud and all the wrong sounds are exaggerated, and due to all that noise it is hard to hear with the hearing aids. It's probably too late for your dad, but it's a cautionary tale for younger people. Start as early as needed. And interesting re: the AirPods. I saw that they just came out. I think the hard part will be when someone is social and wearing the AirPods around. With family, no big deal, but at a big party might be difficult. Many younger people don't want people to know they are wearing HAs.[/quote]
