Re: Aging parents.

[(Anonymous)]

My sympathies, that sounds emotionally exhausting. I read a lot of stories like that on r/AgingParents, and I'm seeing some of that myself. My father is already getting really stubborn and in denial about his health problems. It's not a question of money with him, he just doesn't want to be bothered getting hearing aids when instead he can blame us for not talking loud enough or telling him things when we did. His memory is also going. He knows he has issues, but in the moment, it still seems reasonable to him that IT'S THE CHILDREN WHO ARE WRONG.

It is. He was the same way with hearing aids.

It's honestly crazy how common the anti-hearing aids sentiment is a among aging parents. I sure hope I'm not this idiotic and stubborn when I'm old. :-/

Re: Aging parents.

Yes! I agree! I've noticed this too and really don't understand it. If I lose my hearing, I will 100% get hearing aids as soon as I can. I don't know if it's more of a generational thing or what, but my great grandmother was incredibly deaf and finally had her arm twisted into getting hearing aids, then she refused to wear them. And I know that's actually really common amongst older folks, and I simply do not understand it at all. Why wouldn't I want to restore one of my senses? Like wearing glasses. I would rather not have to, but I'm not going to sit here in a blurry world when there's a way to see clearly.

My mom isn't as bad but she refuses to get health issues checked out. She has some kind of toe fungus. Easily fixed with meds but she refuses to ask the doctor about it! She absolutely has sleep apnea but again, not going to address it with her doctor. I hope I'm never like that.

I work with elderly people, and many of them are not like that! It's not inevitable! But there's so much fear and panic about losing control as they age, and some of them just totally give in to it.
