Hearing aids? As we boomers age we hate to admit it, let alone wear something as clunky as regular hearing aids. More hearing aid makers are realizing this fact and adjusting their products accordingly.
Starkey Laboratories, which created the Zōn hearing aid, had models wear their new style hearing aids at Manchester Fashion Week. I wear hearing aids similar to these and vanity played a large part in my decision. Zon hearing aids even come in a variety of colors.
