Hearing Aids star
“I hate wearing it.” A common comment by people who wear hearing aids. I used a hearing aid for many years and much of its life was spent on the desk. Why then are hearing aids not worn, when seemingly they would provide benefit to a deaf person?

Hearing Aids for Children star[offsite link]
This site gives some information about fitting children with hearing aids.

Hearing Planet star[offsite link]

Losing hearing aids star
What do you do if you lose your hearing aid? Panic? Well I suppose that is the first response of many people. Hearing aids, regardless of type often get lost, misplaced or damaged and since they can be very expensive, losing one is likely to cause plenty of stress.

The best place for hearing aid - in the ears star[offsite link]
An intersting article especially geared to first time users of hearing aids.

The Hearing and Speech Center star[offsite link]
This is another site that I recommend you try first, when beginning to look for a new hearing aid. They provide many tidbits of valuable information, with pricing for both new and used models, as well as assuring the customers that they will help with individual needs and budget allowances.

The stigma of hearing aids star
I have been examining the issue of why there is a stigma attached to wearing hearing aids. If you wear glasses there is no stigma. You put them on and say “Wow now I can see!” but hearing aids can’t be that effective and in many cases you still hear poorly even with the aid.

Types of Hearing Aids star[offsite link]
This site is rich in information for many types of assisted hearing devices. They provide pictures, as well as details of each device, which are easy to understand.

World Hearing star[offsite link]
This site lists various sales outlets, which sell many different types of hearing aids. It is also compares prices for you, so that you don´t have to compare on your own. It´s a great site!
