They don't know that much about hearing loss, and that there are varying degrees of loss, so it's not a surprise that they act that way, when seeing your aids.
And I always manage to hear my girlfriend nagging me in the mornings before I "put my ears on" - but maybe I'm just trained like Pavlov's dogs to respond to that? Don't tell her I said that.
My hands are sealed.
