Hearing aids can have a profound and transformative effect on your social life and relationships. Take the hearing aid social story of Richard, a proud Miracle-Ear customer, and his wife Cookie. After 40 years of marriage, Richard began to lose his hearing. The couple found that instead of talking, they shouted and instead of laughing, they argued.

When Cookie told Richard he had a hearing problem, he insisted that her mumbling was at fault. When Cookie said the TV and car radio were too loud, Richard claimed they weren’t loud enough. It got to the point that Cookie wore earplugs in the house and they drove separate cars.
