Hip Oldsters

Now I know that not only old people need hearing aids, but as I was sitting in Sam's Club "people watching" next to the hearing aid booth, I had a brilliant idea. It seems that everyone is trying to make their hearing aids as small and inconspicuous as possible. The wearing of a hearing aid seems to mean you are getting old and so the manufacturers try to hide them. Why don't they go the other way! All the hip and cool people are wearing blue tooth ear pieces. Make your hearing aids resemble them! Or better yet, have a dual purpose hearing aid. Allow you to hear better and answer your phone at the same time and if you really want an awesome device include an MP3 player. As I was looking over the sea of older people at Sam's Club I thought how funny would it be to have a bunch of senior citizens pretending to be cool. OK, I know it isn't going to happen, but it did give me a chuckle.
