I hadn't considered that, but that does go to add a little doubt to my annoyance with my boomer neighbour... I guess you never can tell. Thanks for the context

I’ll add that hearing aids can be tiring and uncomfortable to wear. I often take mine off after work because I need a break after 9 hours of wearing them. My neighbors may find it inconvenient, but it’s what I need to do for my comfort.

Also hearing aids really aren’t cheap. There was a decent period of time I just couldn’t drop the money to fix or replace mine after they broke
