Hearing impaired individuals need to function independently and safely at home. The goal is to make home care environment comfortable and functional for hearing impaired individuals.

Environmental modifications to home care settings should address the various hearing problems of older adults. Generally, it is wise to focus on:

  • Installing signalers
  • Reducing glare and mirrored reflections
  • Arranging furniture to leave a lot of open space
  • Controlling for background noise
  • Eliminating physical hazards
