[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know what you mean. It's incredibly taxing and exhausting to constantly have to raise your voice, do this or that just to have the most basic of conversations. Sure, you can just not talk to that person anymore but what kind of relationship is this. I don't think you can do much but your father tending to get his phone out and disengage completely reminds that hearing aid refusal can aid in developing dementia. They're giving up. It sucks one way or the other.[/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] You know what would be a “slight accommodation “? A freaking hearing aid![/quote]
