Recently DH has had uncharacteristic problems calling up the word he is searching for, and he is generally more irritable - I think hearing might be less good too. How do you cope with these things?

Doris yes definitely Ostrich behaviour though I did after about 20 years persuade him to see the dentist! He goes every 6 months!

Good Luck!

With great difficulty. DH is very deaf has hearing aids but will not wear them as they fall out. Thankfully he is still working full time so that gives me a break!
Older men are not easy. Swing between trying to challenge his behaviour and giving up for the sake of peace.
Lord , grant me patience but hurry.

Teddy123: Talk to your GP anyway; if possible get a home visit afterwards.
