I am not trying to be funny when I say this but we saw a very similar “awakening” in our brother-in-law’s father when he got his brand new hearing aids after several years of slow hearing loss. Once a gregarious and outgoing person he had turned into someone viewed as on the way “out” soon. Hearing aids brought him back to life. Hearing aids should be covered as an integral part of geriatric medicine.
