Rhonda Lee, when my Mom's hearing started to go I encouraged her to get hearing aids. She balked saying "I'm so old". I said yes, but you are alive and I want you to hear better for the rest of your life. She got them and it all worked out.
Moral of my story is you're alive now, right? Get what you want. Nobody has a crystal ball and frankly, I can't believe people in your life are even giving you opinions. It's your business only.
Let us know what you get!
