On February 25, 1966 Time Magazine famously said “Remote shopping, while entirely feasible, will flop.”[1] If you were alive when this was published, you know just how wrong they were. You’ve also seen first-hand how much technology has advanced since then.
You may also remember what the average hearing aid was like around this time—large, uncomfortable, and awkward looking. Most people who needed them were too self-conscious about the way they looked to even consider trying one out.
Not only was Time Magazine’s prediction about online shopping entirely wrong, hearing aid technology made enormous advances during this time as well. The hearing aids your parents may have worn are a thing of the past and the only place you’ll find them these days is in an antique shop.
Today, it’s entirely possible to get a hearing aid that’s so discreet it’s practically invisible. Some can even connect to your smartphone, TV, laptop or almost any other Bluetooth enabled device, even certain cars with Bluetooth capabilities.
