Roos seizes every opportunity to hide her hearing aid. In this short documentary, she examines her shame by discussing the topic with two other hearing-impaired women.
One in twelve persons in the Netherlands has hearing problems, so why are we so furtive about it? Roos Wijnen discusses the topic with two other hearing-impaired women. If a hearing aid is such a simple solution for a big problem, why doesn’t it have the same status as a pair of glasses? Many young people are ashamed of it, which is made worse by commercials featuring elderly people. A frank conversation about problems, solutions and who should actually adapt.
