Mark: Especially since lack of hearing has a DIRECT connection to dementia. People with hearing impairment tend to just "give up" on conversation and life in general!!!!
I KNOW without a doubt, that was one of the issues with my Mom. She started saying (for the first time in her life) "whatever" on a regular basis about two years before she developed dementia. In retrospect, that was a cry for help; she just didn't fully comprehend the conversation because of her hearing handicap.
