Turning to a different issue, I have come across a few cases of people in nursing homes who have hearing aids without a follow-through system to assist them. I do not know whether the witnesses have come across this. Could a better system be provided for elderly people in nursing homes who are using hearing aids but are not necessarily getting the necessary support within the system? Has Chime dealt with issues like that? I have certainly come across a number of cases of it.
