Interesting to see how many children are wearing body-worn hearing aids. Are they common among adults as well. In addition, I was interested to see a fan in the room. Somebody I know who is actually studying to be an audiologist and who wears hearing aids who was born in pakistan but moved to the US quite young went back to Pakistan on holiday, and she says that she hardly wore her hearing aids because of the noise of the fans everywhere.
