Don’t shout
Keep your voice at a
normal level. It is
uncomfortable for a
hearing instrument user
if you shout and it looks
aggressive.
Don’t turn away
Find a suitable place to
talk, with good lighting,
away from noise and
distractions.
Don’t cover
your mouth
Speak clearly, not too
slowly and use normal
lip movements, natural
facial expressions and
gestures.
Think Distance
The ideal distance for
hearing is between 3 to
6 metres. The further
away the more difficult
it is to hear.
Get my attention
Before you start to speak ensure you are in the
same room as the person and you have their
full attention.
