3rd step
Become familiar with your own voice
You've already made remarkable progress! You've become
much more familiar with the sounds in your daily environment.
As an exercise read out aloud and concentrate on your own
voice.
4th step
Learn to understand the voices of others
Wear the instrument 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
themselves 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 conversations again.
