Lovely read! Very interesting seeing similarities (and many differences!) between your experiences and me getting hearing aids over the past year I'm in my mid 30's and the predominant stigma, even perpetuated by the industry, is that hearing aids are for The Olds (also that industry is _fucked_) (also also this is the first thing I've seen of yours since I played Dys4ia many years ago and it does me well to see your name again)
