Yes you are partially correct, add his early onset dementia along with fast declining cognitive skills his life is difficult. His fingers have got very awkward in movements recently.
The audiologist today took impressions for new moulds. They will take 2 weeks to come back. I’m going with them to the audiologist next visit to discuss all his options. As my husband has no clues with regard to hearing aids.
I know they advocate wearing 2 aids, but in his situation at 96 he’s not going to get a CI so there’s not a great reason why he needs 2 aids. Especially when one ear is virtually useless so why keep sound going into the nerve.
One of total frustration. He wants it/them working so he can communicate. As I’m just the DIL I try to stay out of his problems and let his children manage him. As they have no knowledge of HA’s I can see I’m going to have to get involved with his hearing aids in future.
