You want to live life, but you don't want to do what will fix it. The thing is a hearing aid may not help, because you probably have a physical blockage. Geez, I'm almost deaf and if it meant I'd hear again if I had that surgery, I'd be waiting when they opened in the am. And believe me, hearing aids aren't the answer to everything. You don't want to be wearing one when you have a screaming kid in walmart.
