Doing some reading, I was recently reminded of a few compliments I have received in the past about my hearing aids, and they were so lovely I've never forgotten them.
Kids are curious that's for sure. They are not insulting, they just have a natural curiosity and want to know more about things, so I never mind at all when they ask me things, like this next example:
Exhibit A
I once got a compliment from a 5 year old boy I babysat one night. For example:
Boy: what are those things on your ears?
Me: I explained that they were called hearing aids and that they help me hear the world better etc.
Boy: my friend at big school has those. they're cool!
Exhibit B
About 5 years ago I worked as a checkout chick at a supermarket. I had recently gotten hearing aids for the first time. This lovely woman and her 7 year old daughter would always come to my register to buy things. One day the mother said that I was a great role model for her daughter (as she wore hearing aids too and now had someone to look up to). That was such a nice thing to say! =)
Last year I started decorating my hearing aids with various sticker designs (which is evident from one of my earlier posts). My friends and family say they look cool and I find it fun to jazz them up a bit. Why not have some fun? =)
