The reading reminds me about the question of whether we should make disability look normal or to make it visually attractive. There are different ways of how equipment for disability can be presented. One of them is making it become a part of fashion. It is similar to the example of eyeglasses. Eyeglasses are a tool for eye problems. However, it has become a fashion tool, an accessory for clothes matching. It seems the first thing they will see is the glasses because they are dangling on our face.
However, in the similar case of the hearing aids, its presence seems to be more and more invisible. Its design has become so small that if we do not look for it, we may miss it. Controversially, the earbuds, which are also used for hearing, are more and more widely used. If something such as the earbuds has become so common, why is there a need to hide away the hearing aids?
Comparing the two different examples, it seems that there are some unknowing gaps between design for everyone and design for disabilities. I think it is because of the actual needs of the majority of the crowd. For example, the glasses can be worn without the wearer actually having any visual problem. On the other hand, hearing aids can only be used for those who need them. There are also differences in accessibility where glasses are widely sold and the hearing aids are produced by specific companies.
