Because I’ve worn hearing aids since the age of six, hiding them has always felt pointless.
I love having short hair anyway…but I also hated when I did go through a phase of having it slightly longer (a bob) having to ‘out’ myself most days to strangers as being deaf. I just want people to see them and not make a big deal about it, which 80% of people do.
But I guess now in middle age, people around me will be losing their hearing too and if I can silently persuade them to get help, that’s ok
