COVER STORY: Hearing aids: You ain’t heard nothing yet
Two out of three people over age 70 have trouble hearing, but only about 20% of adults who have hearing loss actually use a hearing aid, for the most part because of costs related to the devices themselves and to testing and consultations with a doctor or audiologist. 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. (Originally Broadcast on September 30, 2018.)

RETROSPECTIVE: Woodstock at 50: A return to “ground zero for peace and love”

Jim Axelrod talks to a few of those who were there, from musicians John Fogerty and Graham Nash, to a young couple, Nick and Bobbi Ercoline, who returned for the first time in 50 years to the site of the festival, where in 1969 a photograph of them captured a unique moment in music history.

OPINION: Woodstock: Sign of the times
The three-day music festival held on a dairy farm in New York in August 1969 attended by 400,000 people wasn’t a summation of the counterculture movement in America in the 1960s, says contributor Bill Flanagan, but rather a harbinger of things to come.
