My father-in-law can’t hear very well and won’t have a hearing test or wear hearing aids. What can we as a family do?

It’s important to encourage them to get help to make communication easier for everyone. Be kind and supportive when talking with them about their hearing and recommend a hearing assessment to find out why they do not hear well. It may be as simple as having their ears cleaned.
