[quote=Anonymous]My 81 yo father has limited hearing. He misses a lot of what is said to him, and on the phone he yells 100% of the time. I'm sure he would benefit from hearing aids, but he had a stroke last year and has great difficulty remembering where things are and what they're for. His bedroom in the independent living apt is a total mess, as are their kitchen counters. He also has limited dexterity and his vision is rapidly declining, so he can't read anymore unless it's on his phone. My mom is no help - she has the beginning stages of dementia and often gets up a night and moves stuff around, takes pills that aren't hers, etc. If you have an elderly parent, are they able to manage calibration and charging of hearing aids? Should I give up this idea before I've even suggested it to him?? I'm starting to think those old-fashioned big ear trumpets are a great idea! Any advice appreciated![/quote]
