92 Year Old, Hearing Scratching Sound From Wall, Barking From Cold Air. Advice?
My 92 year old aunt is hearing scratching in her wall behind her bed, which wakes her up during the night. The home has been inspected by a professional and nothing was found including no droppings from animals. Now she hears a sound more like barking coming from the cold air return close to her bed. We are at a loss what to do as she is not willing to have her ears checked, etc. Help! Thank you.
