and I’m hard of hearing. In 2008 my doctor recommended the
implant surgery. I said no to the surgery. I’m still using
hearing aids. Acually I’m getting new ones. I wanted to ask if
hearing aids have improved? I also want to ask if anyone is
going to stick with hearing aids for awhile? <o:p></o:p></p>
