The Opis 60s mobile hEar senior phone and memory loss
- familiar shape
- familiar function
With increasing age, memory often declines somewhat and learning new things becomes harder. While it may be no problem for young people to keep learning new gestures on their smartphone touchscreens, learning to use a new phone is often a major hurdle for seniors. With so-called senior mobiles in particular, remembering that you have to press a button to pick up or hang up proves an almost insurmountable obstacle.
Everything stays the way it was!
But why learn something new when the old is still good? The Opis 60s mobile hEar is easy for many seniors to use because it looks and works just like the rotary phones known from childhood and youth. There is hardly anything new to learn.
Dementia
The likelihood of developing dementia rises with age. It is a disease that occurs in many forms; the best known is probably Alzheimer's. What all forms of dementia have in common is a disease of the brain that goes far beyond simple forgetfulness. A person with dementia gradually becomes unable to remember things that were previously familiar.
For many people affected, the memory of childhood and youth, and with it the use of telephones from that time, is retained for a long time. The Opis 60s mobile hEar builds on this familiar way of operating a phone. It is not a substitute for medical treatment or care.
