This simply has to be cut down. If you need a hearing aid, get one. It will improve your life and the lives of people you live with.

It is an odd situation but it makes some sense. If you can’t see well you get new glasses. Certainly people procrastinate getting glasses but not more than a year. In our society glasses are not viewed as a handicap.

This is not true for hearing aids. People view hearing aids as a negative sign of aging and they push very hard to live their lives without getting the needed help. This is what pushes the average to over 5 years that people wait to get hearing aids.

This time frame needs to shrink. Tell people that hearing aids are a good thing! They make everyone’s life better.
