In fact, the greatest wisdom of speaking lies in “wandering”. Especially in the face of people with poor hearing, it needs our care, patience and consideration to effectively talk with people with hearing loss. Jinghao hearing aid experts summarized the following communication methods with hearing aid wearers:

01 – shorten conversation distance

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
It’s better to talk with the hearing impaired person face to face, not in another room or where you can’t hear you.

02 – speak in a moderate tone

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
It is not necessary to shout loudly when talking with the hearing aid wearer, which not only distorts the voice, is difficult to recognize, but also may make the listener uncomfortable.

03 – don’t talk too fast or too much

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
This will make the other party at a loss, as long as you slow down a little and inform the other party before changing the topic, so that it has psychological preparation first, so that it is easy to understand the conversation.

04 – get the audience’s attention before speaking

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
For example, pat the listener behind his / her back, raise his / her hands before speaking in a meeting or group discussion, so that the listener can be mentally prepared to listen to you.

05 – simplify complex sentences

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Complex sentences are often difficult to understand. It is better to use short and clear sentences, or to simplify a complex sentence into several short sentences.

06 – reorganize sentences

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
If the other person doesn’t hear you clearly, try another way to express it. Reorganizing sentences can provide additional information, so that you can easily understand the conversation.

07 allow more time to talk

< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Hearing impaired people need a very focused listening and reorganization time to fully understand the content of the conversation. Therefore, when speaking, they should slowly express clearly, and don’t try to express many messages in a short time, so they can’t have a pleasant conversation.
