Can unused hearing aids be refabricated for someone else?
irl.kanaan_fan asked:
My Father passed away and left behind an expensive pair of hearing aids. As there are others in our family who need hearing aids, I’m wondering if they can be refitted and (if they can) if there would be any savings by doing so.

How do I comfortably wear eyeglasses and BTE hearing aids?
DSu asked:
I wear BTE hearing aids and eyeglasses. I think each of them are designed to fit on top of the ear, without any other device on the ear. As it is, my ears get tired from having both devices on them. And if I were to wear on-the-ear headphones, my ears would be even more tired. Does anyone else have this problem? If so, how do you deal with it?

Is anyone else embarrassed of having hearing aids?
Chris S asked:
I don’t have hearing aids myself, but I’m completely deaf in my right ear and I’m afraid of going deaf in my left one and if I ever have to have hearing aids(or just one hearing aid) I’m afraid people will think differently of me. I feel sorry for someone whenever I see that they have hearing aids and I don’t want anyone to feel any pity for me just because of a disability. IF I ever go deaf in my left ear I’m pretty much screwed.
