See #1 from the piece quoted - you show great, er, taste, in picking the most ridiculous item.

In the end, it all comes down to the image you want to project. You have two choices:

Bluetooth Headset: “I am a very busy businessman. I’m even too busy to hold my phone while I’m using it! Also, don’t you think this thing kind of makes me look like Robocop? Admit it - I totally look like Robocop right now.”
Hearing Aid: “What? Sorry - I can’t hear.”
It’s your decision: Do you want to look like a deaf old man, or a dashing young half-professional half-Robocop?

What was that? Did somebody say “no-brainer”?

Oh, yeah - SkyMall did!
