- Today Chad got hearing aids. He is really excited to be able to hear better. He loves how they are blue tooth and he can use his phone to make adjustments. There should not be a stigma with getting hearing aids, no one thinks anything of it if you need glasses right?

So glad you decided to get the hearing aids. There's absolutely nothing to be ashamed about. Congratulations 👏
Chad, thank you for opening up about getting treatment for hearing loss. It’s not an easy decision but it’s the right decision!
Seriously the cutest "experienced" couple on You Tube (notice I didnt say old people, lol) Chad you couldnt be any cuter if you tried and Jennifer your Love for Chad clearly shows through in each video. My Dad had very similar hearing aids, they improved things for his hearing immensely. He had worked at Bethlehem Steel Corp, in Buffalo (Lakawanna) NY for about 30 years, retired young, and we all noticed what a toll the Plant had taken on his hearing. Good for you Chad for being so proactive with your hearing, and what sounds like your vision in a future Vid. Makes me smile everytime I get the notice that you've put up a new video. Be well, and enjoy your lives ❤❤
I'm 33 and have had a hearing aid for 3 years now. Best thing ever!
Thank you for taking good care of you, Chad! ....and sharing real life with us. Julie's so right, what a Good Sport! ❤️ Jennifer is quite the "help mate" God bless you two ❤️
You guys make me miss my grandparents! So humble and loving! I was a teenager looking after my grandmother until she passed way too young! And I miss her but watching you guys gives me back that warm feeling xxx thank you!
I have had hearing aids since I was about 1 year old due to complications as a pre-mature baby of 4. There is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of and they are so helpful in so many different ways. Congratulations!
You two are just the lovliest! Your love and respect for one another is so nice to see in an age where so much is taken for granted! I love watching you two navigate the same waters my husband and I are in....so happy you are on here!
Awww Glad Chad is so pleased. He'll hear so much laughter from his grandkids. I had a neighbor when growing up , ( I was really young)
He had a box on his chest with two wires going to his ears. I remember talking into the box. Blessing to you Chad, many happy hearing days ahead.
Congrats on the blessing of your hearing so much clearer....My Mama got hers a month or so before she went to Heaven but she enjoyed them so much....she said it was like going to sunlight after years of storms....happy you didn't wait as long as she did. Be blessed! Enjoy your vlogs and family!! 💛💛
Such a great video. I really loved it. My husband, despite being fit, working out daily and eating more carefully than any doctor has ever heard of, has a rare sub-type of Type 2 diabetes. So unfair. We approach it like you and Chad are. God bless you both.
God bless you too.
I went and had my hearing checked, don't need hearing aids yet.....but one thing they did tell me as we get older, someone speaks and it takes our brain a little longer to comprehend what is said. There is a little delay while our brain registers what was said. I have found that true, because at times, my daughter will say something to me and I will immediately say "huh", but then what she says "clicks". I really enjoy your videos. You are a very lovely couple.
Congratulations!!!! One piece of advice...when you are out and need to put on a mask, be very careful when you remove your mask. My husband lost one hearing aid that way, it was caught on the mask!!
I can't wear ear loop masks with both hearing aids and glasses. I use an "extender" that goes across the back of my head. There is a button on each end, and the ear loops go over the buttons.
@@Boen2000 I wish I would have thought of that! It’s an expensive way to learn. Colorful earring aid would have been easier to find...maybe.
@@Dpbantam Yeah, when we first started masking, I caught mine a few times as they flew across the room or got stuck in my hair. I just raided my retirement funds to buy them last year, so I definitely did not want to risk losing one! I have also tried "tie behind the head" masks, but the extender works the best for me.
@@Boen2000 my husband lost both once. I was so upset, come to find out he had insurance on them for one year, and they replaced them for free. That was with Costco. Lucky you noticed it right away and found them.
Funniest line in Sister Act, “Turn up your hearing aids, Alma!” I got them 2 years ago, not so much for hearing loss(I do have that), but for tinnitus. I love the Bluetooth feature, I listen to books on tape through my phone. I can ignore everyone!
I love how y'all celebrate all stages of life and marriage in such a positive way. You are a beautiful couple. Thank you for sharing your life with us. God bless xoxo
Both myself and my husband will be needing hearing aids very soon..thanks for walking us through this experience
I used to say that my husband has a 20 second delay, because his response to any comment I would make, took about that long for him to reply. I realize now he was trying to process what he was hearing, and often filling in the blanks. He has also worked in a loud mining industry, as well as played music professionally, and farmed. So one can see how all those things would contribute to hearing loss. He is finally coming to realize he needs hearing aids too. Thx for sharing your story!
Let me know if you find a cure for men's selective hearing Jennifer! 😂
Ha ha
I’m just lrean Lauren Netherly is my cousin still blowing my mind are you guys happy I have my own grandparents just in case I I do get bullied can you guys tell them to stop
Best of Luck with Your Hearing Aids. Prayers for You Both.
Thank you for sharing. Im 38 and now wear hearing aids in both ears. Magic.
So refreshing to watch the two of you. Jennifer, you are just a wee bit older than me so it’s like spending time with a friend.
I grew up wearing hearing aids. I hated it, i was so self conscious about them. They were def a lot bigger than these! No hiding them. It’s amazing what they’ve been able to do with them over the years.
You guys are funny! I loved your hearing test Jennifer! My husband had to get hearing aids a few years ago. It makes such a difference!!
My husband has selective hearing. Lol!!
All kidding aside he needs hearing aids too and I can’t wait to show them this video tonight When he gets out of work
Thank you for sharing and good luck with the hearing aids
Have a great day ❄️
Yep grampa, you are very handsome. You too are so loving. That is sooo sweet, I love it. My heart is full of love for you both....you are like my long lost family.
Thank you for sharing. So generous. I've been frightened to do this...not so much any more.
My husband just got hearing aids two years ago and he was 36 at the time. What a great thing to live in a world where we have so much to help us have the best quality of life.
Welcome to the club Mr. Chad! I have wore hearing aids since i was 19 and im now 36. You will love them! Congrats! ♡
I’m 38 and have a BAHA implant for 4yrs now- I’m so excited you’ll get to hear sounds you haven’t heard in a long time again 🥰 congratulations!
My hubs lost his hearing in one ear from the Navy taking care of ship engines and he has had them for several years and literally I had to twist his arm to get them, but he is warming up to them. Glad that your doing this for yourself ❤️
I'm 47 and went yesterday morning for hearing tests and sure enough, I need hearing aids too. Appt on Monday. I probably could have used them years ago.
Thank you for sharing this. My 18 year old daughter is deaf and wears cochlear implants. Nothing to be ashamed of. If it helps you improve your quality of life, go for it!
I love that you addressed the stigma associated with wearing hearing aids. I'm with you, Jen; I rarely notice them. But I'm commenting, really, to say that your marriage and relationship is inspirational and I hope and pray that more get to see what a true partnership looks like.
You two are the sweetest couple ever!!!
Never wrap them in a napkin or Kleenex. I used to work in a nursing home and occasionally someone would wrap theirs in a napkin or Kleenex and they would get thrown away.
That true my mom did the same thing to her dentures and she didn't realize it was gone
You two are the best, your so sweet genuine ppl. And good for you chad theres nothing wrong with getting. Them. 💜💚❤💜💚❤🙏🙏
I’m 58 and was told that I would benefit from hearing aids. I really didn’t think about it. But he said hard of hearing becomes a norm until you get hearing aids and it game changing. So I guess it’s time Dr said you don’t know what your missing out on. Yes my dad always fumbled around with his batteries and what not. But think I will look into the rechargeable kind. Thanks so much for this info. Hearing aids have come along way.
Congratulations they look wonderful.
When my husband first got his , he would tell us he never put the hearing aids in His ears because he didn’t like them.
When actually he wore them all the time and un beknown to us ,he HEARD EVERYTHING We were saying ,
😆
Thanks for sharing.
Love you guys
Pat from. New Jersey
That's funny!
Congratulations! I hope everything goes smoothly for the eyes next! God bless!
Love this :) nothing to be ashamed of. I’m 31 and I have hearing aids. Best of luck with them
Great vid guys thank you both.. you put anyone needing help with hearing at ease ❤️
Hello Chad and Jennifer, I may have to get one too, my daughter says I speak too loud, Jennifer you're looking beautiful as always today. love you guys. 🇬🇾🤗🌹
My dear father had a great sense of humour, he also had hearing aids, a denture, lower leg prothesis and he made the remark one day that made us laugh, he said I am just like a construction kit, have to assemble everything in the morning, I am just like a construction kit. Before he could start the day. I miss my dear father every day and also miss his humour.
Too funny! My hubby keeps walking in rooms where I’m at saying, “what did you say?”
And I have said nothing. He tells me he does not need a hearing test, it’s all good. I will let him watch this video. Thanks Chad!
We’ve already got the glasses 🤓 ( He didn’t need those either lol!)
I am happy to hear from you guys that is not something to be ashamd for. A lot of people think it is weird that I have ben wearing one sins I was 3 years old. I am now 22 and still struggling with it at rough times. Greetings from The Netherlands.
My youngest daughter was born deaf. She’s had a hearing aid and cochlear implant since she was two. It’s been amazing for her to have this technology.
I love the blue colour Chad chose. It will be so much easier to find them when he sets them down.
Hearing loss actually affects our brains more than anything. There is a higher instance of dementia in those who have hearing loss and don’t use hearing aids.
My daughter’s hearing aids are bigger. The more powerful they are, the bigger they usually are. She has the most powerful hearing aids made for kids.
I have had hearing aids for years due to a birth accident. When I first got them it drove me nuts every little thing made noise. Good luck, there not just for older people
Such fine people 💜 omg I love how she scratches Chad on the chin ugh 🥰🥰🥰 thanks for educating us on these hearing aids.i love your new earrings Chad 💜
Thanks for sharing! I know I need hearing aids just wish insurance paid for it. Keep us updated on how well they work and how you're adjusting to them.
my mom had hearing loss. She did have hearing aids but she took lip reading classes as well to increase her ability to understand what was being said. I admired her for taking those steps.
Yes.
Hello glad that you had them ,when I get to that point u want gearing aids too,I don't want to miss hearing anything that I need to hear.Take care.
Hi from ENGLAND🇬🇧hope you are well..the hearing aids are such a cool colour..sometimes i think my husband needs some...xx👍
When my mom got hers she heard the refrigerator compressor run for the first time in years. It was so funny and sad at the same. But Thank God they make things like this to improve our lives.❤️ Love you guys❣️
I, too, am in need of hearing aids. I had a sudden hearing loss in my left ear about three years ago. I am toying with the idea of just checking into getting them. I think you have probably given me the impetus to check it out. Thank you.
I have had Widex for 2 1/2 years and would never go back (I’m 71). I wasn’t given the option for rechargeable, but will certainly go for that option next time. And I love the Bluetooth with my iPhone. My old iPhone 4s wasn’t new enough, but May 2019 I got a new iPhone and the Bluetooth is invaluable. Congrats for making a great decision!
Hi! This comment is not related to the video. But I hope you read this. These days I’ve been reading a book about the Dust Bowl and you and your family came to my mind. I wonder if your and Chad’s grandparents suffered the effects of the dust storms during the 30s and the economical crisis that came with it. If so, would you make a video telling your families’ perspective? It would be so interesting to hear it from you. I loved the video where you showed clips of your grandparents and parents in the farm. Thank you!
I'm 45 and have had hearing aids for 10 years. I'm on my 2nd pair....goes through batteries like anything.
Nothing to do with age...its helpful when you literally can't hear!!!! My teachers ears have been ruined...too much noise over too many years.
You'll love it...take it slow...I had headaches for like a month. Still hate loads of noise ...busy places.
Good luck on your journey.
Yes as for noise levels....ive never gotten to their levels...too loud...and sadly mine are phone connectable.
Cool
The test was great indeed!! 👌
When my husband got his hearing aid first, he was very excited , as he could hear the leaves rustling and the birds chirping too.
I was thankful as I did not have to repeat things🙂
👍
I think it is wonderful that he was able to admit he couldn't hear. So many people don't say anything because of the stigma, but like you said it's just like wearing glasses.
People, one thing, go to your doctor and make sure your ears are cleaned first. I knew a woman who was losing her hearing....It got worse every year, finally she went to her doctor to look into a hearing test to see if she needed a hearing aid. It was determined that her ear canal curved a little and her ear wax was so thick she was losing her hearing.....They did a ear cleaning, and when they got all the wax out, she didn't need a hearing aid any more.......true story....Please have your ears checked at least once a year.
Don’t you just LOVE the views you see out of those hospital windows?!?!!! I take my 4 year old son to OT (occupational therapy) there twice a month. Just beautiful! 🏔
So glad Grandpa Griffiths is able to hear crystal clear once again 🥰
Yes!
As someone who has had hearing aids since six years old, it makes me happy that people have the access to technology. I wouldn’t be able to function without my hearing aids they’re so helpful. Theres absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. I thought they were the coolest things ever when I got them.
I think Chad talks quieter with them. I didn't think he talked loud before but now he seems really quiet when he talks. Congratulations you will love it
I love these two there like still so in love that's what keeps them going there so funny together you can tell their soul mates that were meant to be together
I'm 32 and totally deaf in one ear, and I'm very excited to get my hearing aid, love you guys 💖
Hey my friends, hope your doing well . My kids say I need a hearing aid we all get older . God bless you for sharing . It’s really not noticeable. God loves you .❤️🙏🏾👼🏽😇✌🏾⭐️🦋🌹💐🌈
I just got my hearing aids myself two days ago. Congratulations Chad!
my husband says he needs hearing aids, but has been putting them off. He is only 51. I'm going to let him watch this video to ease his mind because I do believe there is a lot of stigma when it comes to a man's ego' of getting old that hearing aids cause, like you said. Maybe it's a pride thing, or a vain thing? I'm really not sure. But honestly really there shouldn't be. Thank you Chad for putting this content out there to help other men and women alike, who are struggling with these emotions. I'm sure once my husband Bill gets his hearing aid's he'll be kicking himself wishing he had gotten them a long time ago. Much love to you both.
Thank you and good luck.
Oh how cute you two are so cute i wish i still had my mom and dad i miss them so much
I wish I could talk my husband into getting hearing aids, good for you Chad. They look like you're wearing a blue tooth, not hearing aids!!
My hubby and I both started wearing hearing aids years ago. Hubby is 74 and has worn them for 5 years. I am 70 and have worn them for 2 years.
Chad welcome to the hearing aid club . I have Starkey brand hearing aids from the VA . I hope I can get rechargeable hearing aids next time . I'd like to try Oticons or Widex next time . I have mild high-frequency hearing loss & just found out I also have some low frequency hearing loss now also .
Love you two so much ...you’re both just the sweetest couple ever 💕😘
My mother n law turned hers down when she didn’t want to hear
So did my dad especially if mom was being very a complainer lol.
I just take mine out 😜
My son has done the same thing!
I appreciate my husband's rechargeable hearing aids and (even close up) you don't notice the fine wire that wraps around and into his ear. Behind his ear the transmitter is gray and near invisible... be extra careful when removing your mask that you don't dislodge your aids. Also, my husband was 'super sensitive' when around louder people having multiple conversations BUT he was happy hearing the little sounds that he hadn't heard for so long and ones that 'WE' take for granted on a daily basis & not being used to them they can amplify & get in your head.
My daughter and I have single sided high frequency hearing loss. We both have one hearing aid! It has been so helpful in certain situations. Other times I’m ready to take it out because I’m overwhelmed by everything I’m hearing 😂 the rechargeable hearing aids are nice!
Whilst I was still working I realised that I was missing out on conversations across the rooms and this was not good whilst working in a nursery setting. So I succumbed to getting hearing aids I was 58 years old and I am only very slightly deaf. It was the spoken voice that was the worst for me now my husband has now noticed that my radio in my car isnt very loud anymore and the tv is much quieter!!! They are Oticon hearing aids and I am very pleased with them they can also be blue toothed with my iphone as well which is great. No one should be made to feel bad at wearing hearing aids these aids as they are quite small as well. They are also rechargeable hearing aids so no more fiddling with the small batteries you spoke about just charge them up in the evening before I go to bed as well.
Jen, I would love to see a day in the life from you!!! From the time you wake up till bed time!
Don’t be afraid to get them adjusted. It takes a little time to get them just right. One of our granddaughters has had hearing aides since she was little and she could spot someone across the room that had hearing aides and she would go up to them and show them hers. She was very happy with hers. Good luck and be patient.
I'll probably join you soon. I have needed hearing assistance for years due to my career, but put it off. Please update me/us on your opinion after a period of time. Also, please post the brand you chose.
Congratulations Chad! My grandpa who is in his late 80s has had hearing problems since he was in the service. Well over the years it’s gotten much worse. Legally deaf(can still hear us we have to be loud and clear), he has the tv up so much😂. We scream at him to turn it down.
My grandma needs then now but I think it’s best she doesn’t have them while he’s living. She can tune it all out😂.
I’ve heard and seen Bose wireless Bluetooth headphones can connect to tv... somehow
My husband needs them. The cost is deterring him. We will now revisit this because it's necessary .
For 30yrs we thought our Aunt Betty was completely deaf. My uncle would shout and repeat. One day after he passed I visited her and there was no shouting. She was in a quiet conversation. I thought it was a Miracle! Nope, she'd just been tuning out bossy uncle Bill. They were both school teachers and similar personalities. It was a real relief when she was in her 90's and could hear okay. I still think it was a miracle.
That is hilarious!
I've worn hearing aids since I was 3. I'm now 46. I have moderate to severe loss. I had the behind the ear aids and 3 yrs ago I bought the in the ear type. I love it! I canbwear my mask, sunglasses, and glasses with no problems now. You will get ised to them in no time!
Lol...brings up memories of my father-in -law and mother -in-law. When she would start in on something he didn’t want to hear, we’d see him discretely reach up and turn his hearing aids down. Fun memories.
Thank goodness such things exist is what I say. My lifelong fear has been the thought of ever losing my teeth...wellll, the illness I was diagnosed with 8 years ago has caused me to lose a couple of top molars, I'm 60 and have had fabulous teeth without need for treatments thus far...now?? now I need a couple of dentures 🤔🙄🤨 Oh my goodness my ego is well and truly bruised 😂🤣 Hope you're enjoying the decibels Chad...and Jennifer, mind what you utter under your breath now!!😉
I wish you the best. Both my parents need hearing aids. Their much much older. I have to repeat alot to each of them. I just love both of you.
I’ve had my hearing aids for 10 years now - I got mine when I was 14 & I wear mine with pride! Such a luxury being able to turn the noise of the world off and on as I please 😂🤷🏻♀️
You guys are so adorable!
I call mine "hearing helpers". I like that better. It doesn't sound so old!
Congratulations! You'll do better!
Wow this is a good thing and helps me rethink on my hearing and getting aides for them. Thank you for showing this.
Glad to help
You are beautiful people , I love watching all your video's , including your children's ,
From Australia 🇦🇺
Be careful your grandkids will be louder then you think
I agree I have two little kids and I cannot wearing my hearing aids. I am single sided deaf in my leaf ear. So all the noise gets shoved into my right ear.
So true when you compared needing hearing aids to wearing glasses ... same thing exactly. Aids make life easier!
Yay Chad!!!! I hope the hearing aids work well for you😊! I wish you would’ve treated yourself and purchased the ones that could pair with the tv. You deserve to be able to enjoy a movie or show without struggling to hear ❤️!!
LOL That is called selective hearing! My husband & I have that too! Both of us can't hear good though and ought to get that fixed!
You said he is about ready to have cataract surgery. My husband had his done in Jan. and he can't believe how good he is seeing. He says the colors are so much brighter. I have one that is getting close to ready and was hoping it was time but it wasn't. He said his surgery was over in mins.
So true!
I just got my hearing rechecked last Tuesday and I will be fitted for hearing aids next week. I have needed them for several years, but they are very expensive. I have severe high-frequency hearing loss!
those are nifty i’m getting the same one seems silly but the first time i heard rain i almost cried it’s amazing all the things you missed or never even heard before another great video
Oh wow!
I was born deaf in my left ear. I have a love/hate relationship with my hearing aids. However, when my little kids aren't as loud I will end of wearing them again.
When I first got my hearing aides I walked outside and immediately heard birds chirping in a nearby tree. Also, when I walked into my house the first thing I heard was the refrigerator. It’s a whole new world. Mine are a few years old so I’m sure the technology has improved. My only complaint is when I go to a live theater or the movies the sound is muffled, doesn’t matter how I adjust the volume. What I have learned is movie theaters and some live theaters have hearing devices you can use (no charge) to amplify the sound system, I remove my aides and use the provided head sets, it’s been a game changer for me. Good luck Chad.
Good tip, thank you!
I love this remember to get new ones every couple of years because my papa his hearing was getting worse and it was from how old the the hearing aids were. Ilysm❤
