3rd step
Become familiar with your own voice
By now you've already made considerable progress!
You've become much more familiar with the sounds in
your daily environment. As an exercise read out loud and
concentrate on your own voice.
4th step
Learn to understand the speech of others
Wear the instruments when you speak with someone in
your family. Make a date with a friend. Explain your new
situation and ask the person you're talking to to speak at a
normal conversational level.
Exercise: Have sentences read out to you and repeat these
sentences.
5th step
Get used to conversations in a group
Conversation in a group of people speaking among them-
selves is one of the most difficult hearing situations.
Try to distinguish between the voices by noting their specific
tonal colour and their characteristic rhythm, and fit them to
the individual persons.
Don't be discouraged, and repeat the exercise – think about
your goal: to be able to take part in such conversations again.
