[syhprum (OP)]

I have started to use the efficient deaf aid issued by the NHS 3 three years ago and have been reading all I can find.
All the adverts emphasize how inconspicuous they are as if there was something deeply shameful about being deaf (like having (HIV), I would be happy to wear a gaming head set if it did a good job I am in no way ashamed of being deaf ! 

[Bored chemist]

Because people identify deafness with age, and people don't want to be thought of as old.

Or because people don't read and watch enough Sci-Fi ?   Geordi la Forge from Star Trek  etc.

I have a pair of thick glasses with "Google" written on them and young children think that's really cool.  They're just ordinary glasses with a label I stuck on them.   It's some nonsense about fashion and people wanting to conform with something.  I don't know.  Just keep doing what you're doing Syhprum, get something that works well and suits you.

Best Wishes to you.

Neither Old age nor HIV Aids is anything to be ashamed off.
