Lovely read! Very interesting seeing similarities (and many differences!) between your experiences and me getting hearing aids over the past year I'm in my mid 30's and the predominant stigma, even perpetuated by the industry, is that hearing aids are for The Olds (also that industry is _fucked_) (also also this is the first thing I've seen of yours since I played Dys4ia many years ago and it does me well to see your name again)
We're able to walk - for now- however have some form of progressive physical issue , likely hypermobility related, has made it gradually more tiring over time. This zine has helped us engadge with potential future options , thanks <3. we don't think its likely we'd need it quite as much- no matter what we should be able to walk for short bursts without issue, like at home or a short trip. but we're now fully considering finding or hand-making a light, modular wheelchair or scooter we could carry with us or such, which would help today even ^.^. [for context just in case, we are a plural collective <3 ]

I’m a lifelong wheelchair user and I think you put into words the feelings I’ve had for so long but didn’t know how to say. Beautiful zine. Vrooom!

haha thank you, that's weirdly sweet! (the last part, not the stigma around hearing aids) (that part sucks)
Fantastic read, what an exquisite, refreshing zine, well done!
