We recently had molds made for her, it was supposed to be idiot proof.
She has mild dementia, but her whole life has had trouble with anything technical/mechanical. Even though she was her high school valedictorian she never learned to drive, use even a flip phone, I think she has some kind of learning disability
I am going to contract the occupational therapist who was working with her in her outpatient rehab. She is officially discharged from that but thought maybe she had ideas.
Has anyone here had that issue and have any ideas?
If she’s able to physically complete the task and understands what the hearing aids are and where they go, you might have a chance with repetitive instruction. And I mean really repetitive over time. I would also wonder if she has been wearing hearing aids for a long time and if so, why she stopped. If she is new to hearing aids, it’s going to be very difficult. If she’s been wearing them, maybe the new “molds” are confusing. Then, of course there’s the challenge of remembering to put them in and remove them(without losing them). Managing hearing aids is tough; I might have more thoughts with additional information.
The problem was they were always falling out before so audiologist suggested these custom molds
Her hearing aids might be idiot proof but they might not be dementia proof.
