Looking for tips on dealing with husband who has hearing loss?

hearing loss
Ginger D asked:


He wears his hearing aids sometimes them complains about loud noises such as washing dishes, dog bark, screen door, and takes out hearing aids out. He is 81 years old and has had loss for over 10 years.
Thanks, for the answers, but he has been to the Doc many many times. the volume is so low now that we need to repeat everything unless he is looking right at us. The hearing aids are top of the line and he has tryed many different kinds. Looking for advice on helping him, myself and our grown children so we are not driving each other crazy. Daughters are use to talking loud because he does not wear the aids all the time (the loud noise, they make his ears itch). When they forget, get excited, laugh loud, yell for the dog, he yells in pain grabs the aids out of his ears and gets mad at the girls.

He obviously needs to have the volume adjusted. Insist that he go see an audiologist to fix the volume if he cannot do that himself.

I agree with the others. The volume is too high.
