My mother (age 70) got hearing aids earlier this year, and it's made a HUGE difference in her quality of life. I regret not taking her concerns about hearing loss very seriously over the last 5 years - because it seemed to the rest of the family like her hearing was mostly ok. However, she'd get upset when she missed out on a joke or when we teased her for turning the TV volume up. I understand now that she felt excluded and somewhat stigmatized. I'm really glad she trusted herself and persevered through the process to get them.
