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.
  • Page 21 6th step Visit public events At lectures or in church look for a seat which is as close as possible to the speaker. Also, choose a seat at the front in theaters and concert halls. Avoid niches, boxes and seats behind pillars.
  • Page 22 Note: Most of the modern telephones, particularly cordless telephones and mobile phones, do NOT emit a magnetic field. In this case, you should use the normal hearing programs. Further benefit: You can use the telecoil program in order to be able to hear better in churches, theaters and lecture rooms which are equipped with induction loops.
