One of my housemates is hard of hearing

Not deaf but you have to shout to her. We had a little incident where she started talking when she didn’t realize that we were listening to someone else. She got frustrated and hit me when I raised my hand to her to let her know she was interrupting. Very frustrating. She has hearing aids she doesn’t use enough. It’s getting a little worse now because it seems she is developing some dementia. When she calms down, I will talk to her about it. No one is really hurt so I don’t want to bring in the law about it. That’s would just accentuate the affects.

Maybe talk to staff about reminding her to use them. That might help a bit

She gets reminded on a daily basis. She’s not cooperative.
