Sometimes I think the damn things are only useful as a signal/reminder to people that I can't hear for shit. :haha:

That's only if they show. Modern types, if you have any hair, they don't show.
It was easier when I was bald.

The only ones that don't show are the tiny ones deep in the ear, unless you have enough hair to cover the ear completely.

I use the in the ear type... http://cellar.org/2015/ite_small.jpg now but for years I wore the behind the ear.
I was happy to switch because the behind the ear would quit when I sweat heavily.

That's interesting, that it can be a feature for the hearing aids to be obvious. Seems kind of obvious itself when you think about it. They have been working for so long to make them tiny and invisible, but that's not necessarily such a good thing.

I've long thought that someone ought to devise hearing aids that are intentionally visible to encourage people to face the wearer and be sure of speaking clearly. If glasses can be a "designer" accessory, why can't hearing aids?

In other news Mr Limey, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in July last year, due to the changes he has made in his diet* has gone from two metformin a day, to one, to NONE!
:cheerldr::celebrat::jig::tuba:






* Okay, I helped a little but mostly it is down to him reducing the snacking/energy drink consumption which is beyond my control :p:

SWEET!

:D

Send congrats along... I hope to join him, next set of numbers come in June

Wow, even when you were off saving the Empire?

Good job Mr. Limey!

Yay Lemony!

Awesome!

That's outstanding news!

I looked up the side effect for that medication, and it sounded like not having to take it would be much much better than having to take it.

Good luck, Toad!

Way to go, Mr. Limey.
