We've actually had arguments bc he thinks I've said something I didn't say. I don't know why, but he says my telling him he needs hearing aids insulting. To me, it's not any different than needing glasses - which we both wear.

My Dad was the same way. He refused to accept that he couldn't hear well. It was frustrating for my Mom especially but for everyone else too.
I have the same bad ears as him and getting hearing aids was the best thing I could have done. I'd never be able to understand what my sweet granddaughter is saying, as kids voices were especially hard for me. I feel like a new person!
