When is it time to get a hearing aid?

16. You should visit my website, "I'm Listening as Hard as I Can!":

This article, "Refusing to Admit to Hearing Loss," will help clarify your situation:

This one, "What Does It Take to Persuade Someone to Get a Hearing Aid?," is relevant, too, but also very funny:

Most of my deaf/hard of hearing (HoH) articles are humorous, but some are quite serious. Many people tell me their friends and coworkers never understood or believed how hard they made things for their HoH friends and family until they read my articles. You might use them to enlighten your friends and family, too.

BTW, it probably is time. If you can't afford aids, consider using the trick I used until I could afford my aids--I bought a little transistor radio sized amplifier from Radio Shack and used it at movies, in conversation, when I taught, and at meetings.
