How SweetTree Provides In-Home Hearing Loss Care

If hearing los care at home is the right solution for you or a loved one, our compassionate caregivers will offer round-the-clock support. We can assist with daily activities, ensuring comfort, dignity, and a sense of normalcy, helping individuals affected by the disease live a more fulfilling life.

Here’s a breakdown of what we can provide for you or your loved one:

• • Effective Communication: Using clear and simple language, speaking slowly, and maintaining eye contact are all ways to facilitate better communication. It’s important to avoid shouting or repeating phrases endlessly, as these can be counterproductive. Instead, our carers use appropriate communication tactics tailored to the individual’s needs.

• • Creating a Hearing Positive Environment: Minimising background noise and creating a calm and comfortable environment can help reduce sensory overload for individuals with hearing impairment. By being mindful of the physical environment and making necessary adjustments, carers can enhance comfort and communication.

• • Encouraging Social Interaction: Social isolation can exacerbate the symptoms of hearing loss. Carers can encourage social interaction and engagement, creating opportunities for individuals to connect with others and participate in activities.

• • Managing Hearing Aids and Assistive Devices: Our carers support individuals in using their hearing aids and other assistive devices. This includes helping them manage and maintain their hearing aids, ensuring they are worn consistently, and providing guidance on alternative technology if hearing aids are no longer suitable.

By equipping our team with the awareness, knowledge, and skills needed to better support individuals with hearing loss, we can enhance their well-being yet further and ensure they feel more connected and included in their communities. And we’re delighted to have partnered with Engage to do so.
