[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 50 and feel like I have mild hearing loss. The last three years with everyone wearing masks has made it more difficult and now with most people unmasking it is better. Obviously if I need hearing aids, I will probably get them but I feel like I am too young to start wearing them.

So I am curious how old you were when you needed hearing aids?[/quote]
You cannot see the new style hearing aids. [/quote]
Sure you can. Hearing aid wearer. [/quote]
DP. No, most recent styles are completely invisible. What brand are you using? [/quote]

No they aren't.  They are just CIC aids.  They have been around for decades.  They are hidden and not obvious, but they are not invisible.

I know.  I know noting after having worn aids for only a short period of decades.[/quote]

The ones that go in the ear canal-unless you are looking directly into a person's ear canal, you don't see them. The ones that go behind the ear, if your hair covers your ears, you can't see them either.

PP's who are considering hearing aids-at least get a hearing test at Costco and see what you're dealing with. My mom thought she had 'a little loss' of hearing but really, she has moderate loss in both ears. Hearing is important not only for dementia, but for balance as well especially with the elderly.
