[quote=Anonymous]My FIL is 81. His health is declining, but whatever he's 81. He has been hard of hearing for a few years but he's gotten to the point where if you are not in from of him, speaking loudly, he doesn't even know you're talking. I've talked to him in the past about a hearing aid, but he says it's too expensive. He has a nice pension so it's certainly not unaffordable, he just doesn't want to pay that much. Anyway, it's breaking my heart to see my 4 year old trying to interact with him, and have him just say "oh" to whatever she says. I'm sure her high pitched voice is even less audible than ours but what's even worse is the way he pretends. Ugh. Has anyone had luck convincing a crotchety old man in their lives to get a hearing aid and if your child was in this situation how much did it end up bothering them?[/quote]
