My grandmother has been in a NH for 4 weeks now. Its been a difficult 4 weeks.
I took my grandmother to get new hearing aids last week, she had hearing aids years ago but didnt wear them, but her hearing is quite poor now so she does need them.
I questioned the nurse on duty as to why my grandmother hadnt been wearing her aids and was told that hearing aids are kept in the office and only generally used for family visits. I understand that aids may get lost but wouldn't it be best to take that chance rather than only being able to communicate properly when family visit.
How do others manage with hearing aids?
