Abstract
The increase of hearing loss in the aged looks like a natural process. The handicap problems caused by this process have not to be accepted as such. A hard of hearing aged may be helped by a hearing aid if he is willing to learn again how to communicate. Just in the learning period professional support has to be given, in the field of handling the hearing aid, training lipreading and learning a number of hearing tactics.
