I wore those kind of hearing aids as a kid prior to eighth grade. They were powered by two receivers housed in a strap, wrapped around my mid-section, fastened by hooks. They were bulging things, so noticeable on the outside that kids noticed them easily as if I had a couple of boobs.

I can't tell you much I appreciated my father listening to me when I asked him to get me the BTE version of them in 1971.

I was not very proud of wearing those stringy things before the BTE version came along. I started wearing hearing aids in 1960, and kids my age in kindergarten wore them, too. The batteries were bigger then, too.

I still wear the BTE version, but the technology of them has advanced so much that I can adjust them to a level I am comfortable with. The price of them is so outrageous, though.
That's kids for ya. I was called "White boy" a lot as a slur. Go figure.
This is my new signature.
