Studies indicate there is a significant correlation between untreated hearing loss and dementia. The sooner an older adult gets hearing aids the better. Unfortunately many ignore the slow progression of hearing loss and are in denial.
Believe me. You are forgiven. This disease and journey are hard for everyone- the caregiver and the person with it. I realize when my husband gets cranky and irritated, he is as frustrated as I am. I am learning to deescalate by stopping when I start to argue. The other day I asked if he took a shower. He told me it was none of my business. I literally burst out laughing. The way it came out was hysterical and we both laughed. Meditation helps even if it’s just a few minutes or a few breaths.
