My mother, 87 years old with dementia complains that she can not hear. I have taken her to the doctor, they do a hearing test and they say she is fine. No hearing aids are necessary. But when I speak to her she says she can not hear me. Anyone have the same problem or have suggestions?
The other thing is that she may have blocked eustachian tubes. My hearing is affected when my sinuses plug up and the eustachian tubes become blocked.
Another issue is whether she can or can't hear when someone is NOT speaking directly to her and facing her.
Thank you for your response. I have taken her to an Otolaryngologist and Audiologist. They both have told me the same thing.
