Are you tired of repeating yourself to your husband?

Talking about a hearing problem with your husband who hasn’t yet come to terms with hearing loss, is a sensitive topic. 

By asking open-ended questions, you show an interest and invite to reflection. 
Did you know that...
  1. Most modern hearing aids are designed so discreetly that you hardly notice them when worn?

  2. Today a hearing aid weighs about 2 grams -  the same weight as 2 paperclips?

  3. Not two hearing aids are the same? Modern hearing aids are like fingerprints; they are fitted uniquely to you?
