I knew that. But I wasn’t going to subject myself to having things stuck in my ears simply because other people said I should.
After all, how could I be troubled by what I wasn’t hearing? I saw too many men fiddling with their hearing aids, poking them, adjusting them, taking them out ... putting them back in. And I didn’t like the squeaks they made! But I gave in, finally, and was fitted with the very best ... Bernafon Vérité! It didn’t take more than a few hours to realise how stupid I had been, how lacking in feeling ... especially toward the ones I hold most precious.
These things have changed my life! And ... no fiddling; no poking; a finger-tap for any environmental adjustment. Absolutely no squeaking. They are so small and discreet they can hardly be seen. And ... I can hear what people are saying, all the time!
Maybe I’ve grown up a bit!
