Sometimes we don't get hearing aids due to the cost, and not the stigma. Take a look at some OTC options to get started if your insurance doesn't have good hearing aid coverage.

My old ones are living their best life in other ears. It's nice to know they're out there making a difference.
As we make resolutions for 2023, many people may be looking for ways to give back to the community. One idea: if you have hearing aids you no longer use, consider donating them to give the gift of hearing. Your donation could change a life.

Do you work with students who are hearing impaired? Encourage them to find a hearing solution to help in classes and lectures. We have a great range for students to choose from, which can be purchased with DSA funding - https://t.co/353ee66CMJ

Giant #earrings today, but no ear ringing. My #hearingaids have significantly reduced my #tinnitus and with these massive gold monstrosities, no one is looking at that little wire from my nearly invisible #oticon bionic ears :) @OticonUSA #normalizehearingloss

...By the way, there is a difference between (as some would call it) 'complaining' , & raising awareness of what the realities are, (of life with a #disability ). I've done it all my life, because if we don't do it no one else will & misconceptions/prejudice will continue!

"Because tinnitus is an unseen injury, it doesnĀt get the attention it warrants." Harris's tinnitus started when he was blown up in Afghanistan. Did something trigger yours?

Standing a floor above an echoey gym and I can still understand what my son's #jedi #fencing clinic instructor is saying. Can't believe I waited so long to get #hearingaids. #normalizehearingloss

#VoicesofAudicus "When people think of hearing aids they think people with grey hair and scooters...and thatās not me. Iām in the mountains hiking with my husband and two dogs. This doesnāt fit. This isnāt all there is to people wearing hearing aids." https://t.co/DwPJ20VfVx

I feel like part of the problem is the stigma associated with #hearingaids. Let's get rid of it! Even in this picture it's a very elderly person seeking care. I love my grandparents but I'm not a grandma yet! #normalizehearingloss #treatyoself to #HearingLoss treatment!
Fewer than 20% of adults diagnosed with hearing loss seek treatment. This means many Americans are living quietly with hearing loss & the number of aging adults diagnosed is expected to rise drastically in the years to come. https://t.co/6fe2Hg67xT
