In early 2021, hear.com launched its first hearing aid, the horizon (seen here), geared toward active baby boomers. It includes Bluetooth connectivity; wireless, portable rechargeability; and features controlled via a smartphone app. hear.com
There was a time when hearing aids may have seemed to many people like clunky, uncomfortable gadgets that were awkward to wear and advertised to the world that you had trouble hearing.
But today, you might not even realize that the person next to you is wearing a pair of devices so small and thin that they re mostly hidden behind the earlobes.

Commenter after commenter dropped gems like:
“You’re fat.”
“Ugly.”
