Tips for Better Communication
Your Miracle-Ear
Hearing Care Professional will recommend an
®
appropriate schedule to help you adapt to your new hearing aid. It
will take practice, time and patience for your brain to adapt to the
new sounds that your hearing aid provides. Hearing is only part
of how we share thoughts, ideas and feelings. Reading lips, facial
expressions and gestures can help the learning process and add
to what amplification alone may miss.
Please review the following simple communication tips:
For You
•
Move closer to and look at the speaker
•
Sit face-to-face in a quiet room
•
Try different locations to find the best place to listen
•
Minimize distractions
•
Background noises may be frustrating at first; remember, you
have not heard them for a while
•
Let others know what you need; keep in mind that people
cannot "see" your hearing loss
•
Develop realistic expectations of what your hearing aids can
and cannot do
•
Better hearing with hearing aids is a learned skill combining
desire, practice and patience
