I saw a lot of things that had been done to keep this man as a useful helper
but I didn't see what I would consider the most important. Has anyone done
anything to convince this man to at least explore use of hearing aids? I
worked with a man like the one described who finally realized what a problem
his deafness really was, got hearing aids and felt that it was the best move
he had even made.
