Under the second Trump administration, there is one group of people getting expedited access to refugee status and resettlement in the US. It’s not citizens of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where 6.1 million people have been internally displaced due to decades of fighting among armed groups and widespread gender-based violence.

Hearing aids, like canes or orthopedic shoes, are something you don’t think about a lot when you’re young. But maybe you should. You probably either know someone who needs hearing aids, or you’ll need them some day yourself.
