COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES
• Letting others know what you need; remember
that most people don't know you and cannot
"see" your hearing problem
• Remembering you might have a memory setting
for a specific situation
Helpful Reminders for Your Friends and Family
Many people initially treat hearing problems as an
individual matter, something that can be dealt with
by themselves. Remember that communication
involves more than just one person. The continued
understanding and support of family and friends are
crucial as you pursue improved hearing. Your friends
and family can help by:
• Being sure they
have your full
attention before
beginning to speak
• Looking at you or
sitting face-to-face in
a quiet room
