Dr. Ruth's answer.
A. Let me tell a few things nearly this.
First, people amongst Alzheimer's conk through stages, much equally immature children do. So it's possible that afterward a fourth dimension she powerfulness larn over this, together with then it would live on worth testing it i time inwards a spell to run into if she is however feeling this way.
Also y'all said y'all intend it's the vibrations that bothers her for about reason. You could receive got her hearing tested, equally perchance she has a type of hearing disability where lots of vibrations is confusing. I believe that's why President Clinton had to larn a hearing aid.
Perhaps y'all could create about experimenting, if she'd allow you. For event if y'all had about people over together with y'all position about ear muffs on her, simply to run into if it helped.

In lodge to live on the best caretaker y'all tin forcefulness out be, y'all receive got to receive got attention of yourself too. So don't sit down quietly past times bemoaning what is happening but receive got activity together with then that y'all tin forcefulness out keep a social life.
