First of all it is your life, primarily that is changed by this, so it is your choice, even though those of us that love you are somewhat affected by your decision. However, as far as your appearance being changed, and people being judged by your appearance, i have to sort of kind of almost agree with some of what subonfire said. Not the more in your face stuff, that is not so much my wont, of course. More the being different by trying so hard not to look different. I would think with strangers, especially, it would be more obvious and opinion changing to know you were struggling to listen and perhaps misunderstanding than it would be to see hearing aids and briefly notice them and then move on. Those of us who are not strangers already know you're hot, and we want to see you and hug you and squish into your boobies, and if you can hear us because of those things we barely notice, (even if you see them as a neon sign) and be an active and important part of our lives again, well, that's a bonus. And i whole heartedly agree with Master Wolf, please don't isolate yourself, we do miss you! I was so glad to see you Sunday, and i am sorry i was on the wrong side of the room, and i probably was as quiet as a church mouse, as i tend to get quiet when i am nervous, and especially during public speaking, but i would hate so much for you not to come to munches any more. I am still trying to get together with you outside of munches, etc, i really, really do want to, it has just been hectic lately. Even if you decide not to get them, or if they won't help enough to be worth it, or whatever, i am proud of you for deciding to open your mind a bit about options, and seeing the doctors. Big hugs to you!
