I am HOH too. It is mild hearing loss, on both ears, induced by chemotherapy, five years ago. I wear pair of Bernafon SmilePlus "Full Shell" ITE's and they help much! And they look cool. Before I wore Oticon BTE's, but there was a problem when wearing glasses what I very often do. I have few HOH frineds, but half of them do not wear HA's... mostly because they think its price would not fit what they would get.
Interesting that hearing loss is something like "illnes of the 21th century". Some statistics show that 17% of teenagers have soem hearing loss in one or both ears. Mostly, it is "music-induced hearing loss" because of too loud music. Also, 40% of professional musicians have hearing loss!
