It looks like somebody forgot to take their "happy pill"! lol

If you must know, I asked because I was interested, and I was trying
to draw this person into a dialogue to get an idea of his hearing
situation. Simple Vanity can be a valid reason for not wearing BTE's.
I have no idea whether it applies to this person, and neither do you.

I was more concerned that it was a similar case to an earlier person
who posted that he needed the power of BTE's, but insisted to his
audiologist that he be fitted with less powerful, in the ear aids,
even though it did not allow him to hear the best that he could.
