So we're on this road trip, father son bonding trip and I noticed a lot of interesting behaviors he has. I know he's been through a lot with my mother being sick and everything but but some of his behavior patterns have been his MO since my earliest remembering. Granted I'm not perfect but I try to be a quieter human. He flew planes all his life so he can't hear and won't get hearing aids no matter what and constantly coughs. I believe it's COPD but the doc ain't bitting on the diagnosis. We still have another 6 days together and I'm trying mentally to not have a meltdown and start screaming at him. We're sharing a room which is tough. I like it quiet but he likes to watch brian kiljoo on foxjoo all day and uses a sleep noise on his phone that can be heard down the hall. I wear earplugs but good grief. Anyone have any ideas on traveling with your older father?

Noise cancelling headphones. They're big and bulky, but nice to have to fall asleep at times. Name brand, with Bluetooth capabilities, can't speak for the cheaper models. The hearing aids, you could call around and trick him into it. Pay extra to have someone come to you, even while your out. Hearing aids are much smaller than they used to be. The cough, get his heart checked. Scrutinize it. Good luck and keep your sanity
