Communication Tips

If you're wearing hearing devices - let people know. 

Even while wearing hearing aids, there will be times when you find yourself in difficult situations. Sometimes, if you tell people you have hearing loss, they will respond by adapting to your needs.  You might also.Try to face the person speaking, try to stay away from noise sources, use as many visual cues as possible (good lighting on the person speaking), listen within 6 to 8 feet of the person speaking, turn off or turn down other noise sources (TV, radio, dishwasher, washing machines, running water etc) while conversing.
