In some ways my OH is perfectly normal with a really good memory but in others he really struggles, mainly with spatial things - can never see or find things. He is also now seeming to be deaf - has anyone else found this ? I don't know if he just has blocked up ears, or is going deaf, or if it's the illness and though I have always been a patient person I am finding it very hard not to snap at him as I repeat things over and over again. We don't talk about his illness which makes it very hard, so I can't even get the doctor to check his ears and although I know this sounds trivial to people struggling with much worse things it is making life quite hard here.
AND can anyone suggest any sort of technique they employ in order not to be snappy. I hear myself saying things in a sharp voice and I know I should just take a deep breath and smile as I repeat things for the fifth time, but I'm finding that very hard - has anyone got any sort of a technique that I could use to stay calmer please ?
