Dear hearing aid providers: stop only advertising your hearing aids for old people – from a deaf 19 year old who’s used hearing aids since she was 7
Note: you don’t have to use hearing aids, or have any form of hearing loss to be able to reblog this
Deaf people using hearing aids should be as normalized as people with vision loss wearing glasses.
(Side-note – I used to see stuff along the lines of “it’s
ok/not-ok to reblog this in-joke if you’re not part of the minority group making
it” statements, and I can understand that, but lately I feel as though there
are more “[group x] deserves acknowledgment and civil rights! PS – it’s ok to
reblog this if you’re not a member of [group x],” and I can’t figure out if it’s
a subtle way of nudging allies to reblog, or if there actually are people who
worry that agreeing with a statement by a member of [group x] is appropriating
their struggle, or something.)
