How wonderful, Maryan! I am the medical proxy for a bedridden nonagenarian cousin. She was very withdrawn. I suspected that hearing aids could help. We brought in an audiologist who does house calls (there are certain benefits to living in New York) but she was too groggy for him to obtain a correct reading. We then ordered some hearing aids online. And what a difference! She is so much more engaged. She chats with visitors, follows the news (as awful as it is) and calls friends on the phone.
