Im 57 and have had hearing loss most of my life its got much worse in recent years and I ignored family to do something about it for quite a while .
At a training course laast year a work colleague spoke to me at the end she works with hearing impaired and picked me winging through the course without hearing much at all.
Long story short i now have hearing aids .
mine can be volume controlled through a phone app and arnt the big dollar ones
Day 1-7 of first having them was terrible , I dont know the overload on the brain was pretty extreme I would bet your dad tried them and maybe tried them again but couldn't deal with the extra noise .
I have just started wearing them to work one year on
I would suggest wearing them round home at first with conversations
with just a few people .
Shopping centres no way , same as the beach or other noisy places or big groups of people (x mass can be tough ) and go from there .
They do a great job but they really do need a little tolerance from others as well in that some situations arnt great for them you will get the finger , maybe not literally, if you push this one .
I still get why arnt you wearing them regularly ?
regards
graham
