My Mum refuses to wear hers… uses a myriad of excuses. She’s 80 and I can see the effects of cognitive decline from not being able to communicate properly with here closest ones … it’s so frustrating

I'm guessing things are TOO LOUD. When I first got aids I was sitting on our deck with my wife in the Spring. I noticed the birds were loud. Annoyingly loud. I mentioned it to her and she said they weren't any louder than normal, I just hadn't heard them for so long I forgot. Over time I got used to the increase in volume.
They may not be comfortable. My first pair hurt my ears. I now have Phonak with the rubber "bulb" and once in I don't feel them.
The first indication they were working was a quarter I got in change. I shook the change to settle it before putting it in my pocket and heard a high pitched sound. It took me a bit to figure out I hadn't heard the sound of a quarter in years.
