This week on “Sunday Morning” (Aug. 26)

COVER STORY: Turn up the volume: The latest in hearing aids

David Pogue checks out the latest advances in hearing aid technology that have reduced size and added unique features, and finds out what changes consumers can anticipate after Congress passed a bill allowing hearing aids to be sold over-the-counter.
