The Life Changing Magic of Readers and Hearing Aids
Manage episode 372462236 series 3490675
This week we welcome a special guest, our dad—and Pam's Immortal Beloved—Jake! We talk about how our senses change as we age. Natalie shares the life changing magic of wearing readers and Jake talks about his ultra high tech hearing aids. Ignoring hearing loss puts your body and mind at risk and can lead to isolation, depression, and dementia. Just like gray hair, we think hearing aids are sexy and cool!
