HummerOfIntenseEvil Posted July 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 if anything it's more obvious... and still doesnt look good.If that was an ugly kid wearing that.... then it wouldnt look good' date=' would it?[/quote']Exactly. They're obviously trying to go down the same route as glasses, but it's just not going to work with hearing aids, partly due to the fact that you either need a hearing aid or you don't, whereas with glasses you might only need them for reading.However, if they DID succeed in making hearing aids look "trendy", would we suddenly see a lot of "celebrities" donning them, like they so love to wear specs when they quite clearly don't actually have anything wrong with their eyes and just want them as a fashion accessory or to look intelligent? Or is the fact that specs are equated with clever people the important difference? Or does anyone care? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
