Don’t speak
too fast
If someone doesn't

are saying, try and say it
in a different way and
slow down.
How to be a human hearing instrument
Here are some tactics your family and friends can use to help you
hear more easily. It may be helpful to introduce them to your
family and friends.
Please note:
If you are experiencing difficulties communicating with a
particular person or in a specific situation, the best thing to
do is explain these tactics to them as it’s likely they are not
aware. Once they understand this they can help make the
situation easier for you.
