What Do A Person With Dementia Make Grunting Sounds And Hum?
Hello. Yes, we take care of my husband s aging mother. She started making strange grunting sounds or sometimes humming, 8 mo. Ago. But, only when she s at home. It is very annoying. When asked to stop she does, then starts up again. She has dementia, she s 89. Thanks!

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this is geriatric problem and may not need any problem, if the symptoms becomes too sever then this can be treated with some sedative drugs, but for that she need to be clinically examined, hope this information helps, take care.
