How can I get my mom to consider hearing aids?

My mom is 78, healthy, and loves talking and telling jokes. She's getting so hard of hearing. She went to the mall about 2 years ago and had her hearing tested and they said it was perfect. But she was hard of hearing then, and it's worse now. Also, she claims my cousins told her that they never think she has a problem with hearing. Not sure that even happened but she brings it up every time we talk with her about hearing. She is vain and also doesn't like to think she is aging. She is so lucky to be as strong and healthy as she is, this is a minor problem. But she is all about conversation and humor and I think she is missing out on so much because she can't always hear. Also, she misunderstands whats going on sometimes and even gets offended when there's no reason. Help. What can I do?

Make an appointment with her to have hearing tested, make fun of it, tell her if she wins you pay 4 lunch and vice versa. Go to the visit with your mother so that you can give your opinion. Good Luck!

I started putting "A hearing Aid for my Dad" on my Christmas and Birthday lists. When he would ask what I wanted for dinner I would say "For you to hear me say pass the pepper!"

He finally got fed up with me and went and got an hearing test to prove to me that he didn't need one. Guess what? He came home with a hearing aid!

They make ones you can barely see now. Get a brochure and go over it with her. Go to the office with her. It's not a big deal, especially if she's ok with everything else. Good luck.

tell her that she is deaf and that she needs them!!!
