OK. My hearing loss is severe to mild- cookie bite. I visited my mother last weekend. She also has a hearing loss, but also has early Alzheimer's. She vaguely said that she needed new batteries. She was missing out on a lot of conversation, and I had to repeat things my son said. I tried to listen to her HA's, and could get nothing. I tested for squeal, one gave a faint squeal, the other did not.
She also has no drier for her HAs, and we live in a humid climate. I can send an e-mail to my sister suggesting various options.
I called my sister (who lives in the same town as Mom), and gave her a message to get Mom to the audi SOON, as Alzheimer patient functioning is significantly impaired by hearing loss. She also has balance issues.
Question: How do you test to see if someone else's HAs are working when your loss is more severe than the other person's?
She probably also needs to have a friend come in every morning to make sure the HAs are working, like in the schools.
