At first, the thing that I resented most about the commercial for the LEE MAJORS BIONIC HEARING AID was the use of Lee Majors to sell it. After all, they're playing off the fact that Lee Majors was "The Six Million Dollar Man," the 1970s television hero who had several mechanical parts, including a super-powered bionic ear. I was disturbed that they would use him because it seemed to me that they're saying that if you were a fan of the original Bionic Man, you must be old enough for a hearing aid.
Then after I thought about it, it didn't bother me so much. After all, I'd always wanted super hearing. Oh, I don't want it so much to hear what my family or friends or saying TO me. I want to be able to hear what they're saying ABOUT me! I want to be outside the house when they're talking about me, and to be able to spy on their conversations.
Ok, so maybe The Bionic Hearing Aid isn't quite that powerful. However, I will acknowledge, after talking to a couple of people who have it, that it seems to be on the cutting edge of hearing-aid technology. It uses digital high-tech for superior sound quality. And to me, the coolest thing is that it's rechargeable. No more fidgeting with those tiny batteries! So with the Bionic Hearing Air around, maybe when I do need to get one, it won't be so bad. And who knows: Maybe by that time, there'll also be a bionic arm on the market for me to buy. Although I'm not a fan of giving up the real one to replace it with.
