I’ve been wearing Resound hearing aids for two and a half years, and until a couple of days ago, not a single person had ever mentioned them. But the other day, I was having drinks with a couple of friends, and mid conversation one said “how long have you had hearing aids - I’ve never noticed them” and the other person chimed in that he didn’t know I wore them, either. I thought it was funny, since when I first got them I was really self conscious, as it turns out, for no reason.
So for any newbies who are worried about what people will think, I’d say it really isn’t a factor…
