Hi Colleen. My hubby is 84 and in last few years noticed we both had hearing loss and saw audiolist. Argued all the time because he misunderstood what I said and answered with strange answers. Fast forward selling our mobile home and moving to Stockton we developed new serious painful health Challenges. Noticed he became more depressed as did I. We argued constantly and I blamed it on mishearing. Now we have hearing aids which helped somewhat, but always being a nervous man, he now flies into rages. I've had 10 free counseling hours at church and read some books on dementia and am told it's not his fault. His outbursts scare me and I don't want to live the rest of my life like this. Married 53 years.We will have annual physical hopefully where I can tell our PC. He,s stubborn and in denial. Afraid to take a shower. We were in a retirement community. Became too expensive and were always under lockdown at the height of covid so moved to regular apt.
