He must feel so isolated. I would think a polite inquiry to another audiologist would be helpful. Julie makes great points as well. Maybe a new contact will give a new perspective and a chance at some hope.

As I remarked to Julie above, his attitude has become the problem. He has just given up. Between speech/language residue left from the stroke, and loss of hearing, interacting with others is just too much trouble, I think.

Isolation is the right word, Bill. He’s embarrassed because it’s hard for him to carry on a @normal conversation so he just keeps to himself. It’s been very frustrating to me. He’s excited about HLAA . I hope that we can turn a corner with this.
