2. Conversation with another person
Sit with someone else in a quiet room. Face each other so you can read facial expressions
easily. You may experience new speech sounds, which can seem a little disturbing in the
beginning. However, after the brain has adapted to the new speech sounds, you should
hear speech more clearly.
3. Listen to the radio or TV
When listening to the TV or the radio, start out by listening to news commentators since
they usually speak clearly, then try other TV programs.
If you find it difficult to listen to the TV or radio, ask your Hearing Care Professional for
more information regarding the ConnectLine system and other available accessories.
4. In group conversations
Group situations are usually accompanied by a greater degree of background noise
and are, therefore, naturally more difficult to cope with. In such situations, focus your
attention on the person you want to hear. If you miss a word, ask the speaker to repeat.
