She is at an assisted/memory care facility. They "lost" her hearing aids. They found part of one but can't fine the other one. So we are having new ones made but can't get them until there is more clearance to take her out and it will be safer.
My question, what would people think about getting her something temporary just so she can hear something? Honestly, I just thought about it. I talked to her on Skype today but I could tell that she couldn't understand me. There are some types of aids that have been advertised on TV as an "amplifier". Do you think that might help her some?
We went to her ear doctor one day. He told me the story that he visited a patient in a NH. She complained that her aids were not working. He opened the battery case and there was no battery. Took it out to the nurses desk and said " you need to put batteries in these".
I think that tiny little hearing aids are hard to handle, easy to drop and easy to get lost or broken. It is unfortunate that something that is so life changing is such a booger to deal with.
Let us know how they work out.
