Advances in technology cause many to hold out in hopes of getting more for their money. Audiologists caution against waiting too long, however. "It's much easier to get used to a hearing aid when the loss is mild and you're younger," says Susan Rezen, an audiology professor at Worcester State College in Massachusetts and co-author of Coping with Hearing Loss. "If you delay too long, you're taking the chance that your brain may get used to not processing speech...
