[This is from the Silent Talk Conference]

Barbara, may I suggest that if you have sufficient residual hearing
that could make life easier for you, to get the hearing aid. If a true
benefit can be obtained fromthe use of an aid for you, you owe it to
yourself to use one.

I kind of believe in a use it before you lose it philosophy. For me
a hearing does less than nothing, but I think those who could benefit
from one should use an aid. Eventually, your hearing will degenerate.
The idea I am advocating is for you to get everything you can out of
what you have now while you can.
