It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.

Oh those tiny batteries, really now.... today's medical group really think an elder who has trouble seeing can carefully handle something so small and try to place it inside a hearing aid ?? When clearing out my parents house, I found a ton of those batteries that were dropped everywhere :P
With the ear-trumpet, one could decorate or have different colors made to match what someone is wearing. This could become the best "new thing" to take to "Shark Tank" :)
a dementia client of mine lost/hid/pitched his hearing aids while his wife was out of the house, she could find them NoWhere. so frustrating for her. She made the decision to give up after the scenario happened a 2nd Time!!!! can you imagine?!
If he isn't suffering from dementia, I think it is a matter of being considerate twd others for him to take advantage of hearing aids.
I have a friend who can hardly hear talking in a normal range, and especially when her tv volume is turned up to 90, which also makes it impossible for the rest of us to speak to each other. There is not one reason in the world for her not to have them, and yet...
If you come into deafness later on in life. Its very hard to know how to use them. The little wheels for volume, etc are hard for the elderly to use especially if arthritus is involved. Mom had little tubes in the beginning but she could never get them to stay in the ear. So she changed to molds but kept pulling on the tubing to remove them and would pull the tubing out. The last fitting my DH had, the mold was too tight so the woman shaved it down. I now wonder if that was Moms problem the mold was too big. She never wore hers either.
Your husbands are missing so much. My DH has been deaf since 3 and he gets so depressed that he can't hear.
I have a Karaoke machine--thinking of strapping that on and turning it to 11.
I HAVE used a megaphone and it hurt MY ears.
