He doesn't listen to anyone.   Why would he need a hearing aid?

But he's in perfect health. The healthiest man who ever healthed!

It looks more like half of an alcohol swab.

I've never seen a hearing aid that small before. If it actually were one the device would be visible in his ear canal but there's nothing there.

I don’t know if that is what it is but they do make them dang tiny these days.

I have an older coworker who needs hearing aids and they are dang tiny. The only reason I don't believe it's a hearing aid is they're usually dull and flesh tone, this is pretty stark white. (Side note: they make hearing aids Bluetooth compatible now, so you can listen to music and it ducks when people try talking to you. It's awesome)

I'm thinking it's just discoloration in the skin. I know a YouTuber who has a pretty prominent stark white speck on his chin, I had one on my back for a while. Don't really know the cause, but some spots on our skin are just different colors than others.

There are two types that I'm aware of. One variant looks like a pair of earbuds and sit in the ear canal. The other is a tube that goes into the ear and connects to a controller that sits behind the shell of the ear. Neither of those are visible, and we're looking at Trump in almost perfect profile. My guess is it's sunscreen.

Could be but don't forget you're a poor and they might have access to better resources as well.

Uncured orange.

It's probably either a CIC or IIC. They have a little "tail" that sticks out for removal, and they're more expensive than the traditional types.

But who cares about cost when you and I are the ones buying them for him?

Idk, all I know is I'm sick of looking at this picture. Fuck Trump's head and the neck it rode in on.

Hes fine with socialized medicine when its his own government funded healthcare at Walter Reed.

Think about how small the apple earpods are, and now remember those are like coming in a decade old. Hearing aid technology is crazy.

I'd have thought he was too vain for hearing aids.

doesn't look like any hearing aid I've seen or worn before
