It’s a normal first response – denial. My loved one must be simply making it seem as if their hearing loss is more severe than it actually is. She’s not old enough for a hearing aid. It’s possible, the two of you have begun to joke around with one another about it. Your loved one […]
Summer has finally arrived! This summer season has tons of fun.
