Listening Differently: Embracing the Power of Sign Language
As we strolled through the village, passing the hearing aid shop, Jessica suddenly asked, “Are you even wearing your hearing aid?” I smiled and said, “Nope, haven’t worn it in four months.” She knew I’d had this particular hearing aid for five years, so it was definitely due for an upgrade.
