Maybe I've not looked hard enough yet but I can't find much on any special hearing aids for folk with dementia. Please feel free to point out my error if I am wrong.
My mother has been in a home for a couple of months and I mentioned to the manageress today about hearing aids. She said it probably wasn't worth the bother as they get lost very quickly and they find other residents wearing them !
Now obviously this isn't a new issue, do they do any special versions for dementia sufferers.
My initial thoughts are to get some normal ones and superglue them with gold coloured chains to a necklace so they can't go very far.
Any thoughts or advice please.
Plus, do they make nuclear powered ones as she will never turn them off at night.
