She has the tv to the highest volume and shows no concern for my well being at all. My head literally just pounds. Please someone tell me how I can help this situation where no one gets hurt. It seems she just doesn't care but I have to believe somewhere in her head it just isn't connecting. She tells me that I am making it up about it the loud noise bothering me. We cannot attach tv ears to our tv. It's too old. What can I say to her that she can understand that the high volumn does effect other people? thank you
And anyone talking rapidly - there's lots of that on TV but people talking directly to me do too - loses me completely. She needs the TV on for lots of reasons, not just to watch a show. Sometimes it's just company. Good luck.
Suggest turning it down just one notch..tell her how much you love her and that you are worried about her and her hearing.it took a very long time for my father to admit that he couldn't hear...I know I must not be much help.
Another solution is to put the TV in a room where you can shut the door...(but if she is anything like my mom, she probably wants you right there with her, right?)
I hope this helps. If I remember anything else, I'll let you know.
