Aunt =
Sharon asked me to handle attending to Mom’s hearing aid =
appointment.
The attached shows the results. There are (5) levels =
of hearing according to the Dr’s graph.
1) =
Normal
2) =
Mild
3) =
Moderate – Mom’s level - her right =
ear touched into the Severe for High frequencies which includes =
Speech.
4) =
Severe
5) =
Profound
She can =
still use the standard hearing aid. The cost was $350 for (2) hearing =
aids ($175 each) which was paid to
Hi Health Innovations.
She wanted to pay some of the cost up to $200 but I =
told her we’d see after letting everyone else =
know.
![]()
Having =
better hearing is going to help her feel more a part of her world by not =
hesitating to interact with others.
She was =
upset that everyone was going to think “What do we have to pay for =
now!”. I assured her that would not be
the case as we all love her.
As everyone =
who has been to see her knows she is really feeling that she is totally =
dependent on others to take
care of =
her. It is hard for anyone who used to always have been the =
decision-maker to give up control.
One =
suggestion is to have each (8) family contribute max $43.75. This would =
allow her not to incur a hit on her account
but Ruben/Ralph could provide information on whether =
she should contribute.
A good =
reason to suggest everyone contribute something is so that she can =
honestly be told that “..each family =
contributed..”.
It would help =
her feel that the family is going to take care of her.
