Tips for Better Communication
Your hearing professional will recommend
an appropriate schedule to help you adapt
to your new hearing instrument. It will take
practice, time and patience for your brain to
adapt to the new sounds that your hearing
instrument 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
