It’s moments like these that remind us why we do what we do. 💙

"For Bill’s 88th birthday, our Angel Gloria went above and beyond—baking him a homemade apple pie and preparing a full birthday spread with chili, coleslaw, macaroni salad, and pork chops. To make it even sweeter, Bill and his wife’s church choir joined in and brought a feast of Filipino favorites, turning the celebration into a true community buffet."

Having 'the hearing conversation' with a loved one can feel challenging, but it's one of the most caring things you can do. 💙
Remember:
✨ Approach with love, not frustration
✨ Choose a quiet, private moment to talk
✨ Use 'I've noticed...' instead of 'You always...'
✨ Focus on staying connected, not the problem
✨ Offer to attend appointments together
✨ Listen to their concerns without judgment
Untreated hearing loss can lead to social isolation and affect overall well-being, but today's solutions can restore so much quality of life and help families stay connected.
Have you had this conversation with a loved one? What approach worked best for your family? Share your tips below - your experience might help someone else take that first step!
