There are multiple possible reasons why women would not be interested in buying hearing aids, even if they really need it.

Women experiencing gradual loss in hearing do not think they need hearingaids simply because they do not see any reasons why they would need hearing devices when they can still perform traditional tasks like cooking, cleaning, sewing and watering plants. Plain housewives are the most inclined to think this way as they tend to spend most of their time inside their houses where the only people they encounter are the members of their family. As it is natural for someone living with the people he loves and being with them most of the time tends to get used to the usual topics they talk about, he learns to fill in the blanks the things and words in the conversation that he failed to hear. For this reason alone, many women think they will still be able to communicate well with their spouses and children even with a failing sense of hearing and thus there would be no need for hearing aids anymore.

On the other hand, women who do spend much time outdoors or outside their homes because of work, leisure and other kinds of activities tend to get intimidated by the high prices of hearing devices. As most women do not earn as much as their male colleagues, women prefer spending their salaries on things that their children or family needs rather than on things that would be beneficial for them.
