[quote=Anonymous]My dad is like this. It's not really about the money, it's about him being in denial, feeling stigmatized, and not wanting to deal with it, and feeling unable to cope with the technology. It really makes me sad, he used to love music so much. And it is partially his own fault for using power tools with no ear protection for his entire career, and he knows that, so it's a very difficult topic for him. Anyway, no real advice, just sympathy. My experience is he will not consider it until he finds a peer who has a hearing aid that they're happy with. Honestly, the sound quality is so bad that it's still pretty hard to hear and unpleasant even with a hearing aid. That's another reason people don't get them-- they help, but they don't really sound that great.[/quote]
