[quote=Anonymous][quote] Wow, not much compassion here. It’s also incredibly taxing and exhausting to be hearing impaired. Maybe try slight accommodations so your family member can participate and enjoy themselves. [/quote] I'll readily admit that my compassion is on a very low level after years, YEARS of trying to accommodate, trying to help, understanding the difficulties with hearing aids, understanding the mental challenges that go with this refusal, helping and going to doctors, trying different hearing aids, even trying different ways of communicating, and yet nothing but [b]utter refusal[/b] to do anything. This person demands that we shout - and that's what we have to do in order for them to hear anything - to communicate. I've decided I'm tired of shouting. Now that person is pissed. Yeah, well, so be it. Their choice.[/quote]
