I think it unlikely that my mom's husband will start wearing an in-ear device. My hope is to set up some large over hear headphone for use watching football games and also have a room mic feed into the mix somehow. That way he could use it for TV sports and enjoy communication with friends at the same time. Putting on headphones for a special occasion would be far more bearable than a full time device for me, pretty sure, haven't tried an in-ear device yet however.

I have a client, has given me regular business for almost ten years but he goes off now and then on his belief that I need a hearing aid. Gets obnoxious after a while. I am losing a bit of hearing but it's not that bad. I can hear every word of normal conversation if back ground noise is minimal and the person isn't looking away from me. People will mumble in the next room or around the edge of a wall or corner and complain that you can't hear them. F - 'em. People don't have to shout for me to hear them. I really do think if I get anywhere near as bad as my new step-dad I'll shop around for an in-ear device. One would think that the devices would be evolving.
