Hi, All --
Thank you for providing this forum. I am a hearing person who assists a family member who is completely deaf and has some cognitive disability. He was my sister's husband for 25 years; she passed away 4 years ago.
I am about to drive out to his place (some distance away) to see what's going on - His apartment manager called to say he is telling her that someone is banging on his door at all hours of the day and night. He thinks it's a specific apartment, and is now banging on their door.
Anyway...how can he hear this if he's completely deaf? What's happening? Could it be tinnitius? I'm terribly worried. I'm hoping he isn't in some kind of psychological breakdown. Won't answer his video phone. Anyway...wondered if anyone had any insight. I'm in SoCal...I may need a counseling/psychological help referral.
