Helping Others Hear
I am a licensed audiologist in the Chicagoland area and decided to begin this blog with the hopes of helping others in need of improving their ability to communicate with others. I have had many patients over the years who have shared with me stories of their frustrations in communicating with loved ones. I, in turn, share with them tips to help reduce their stresses.
I think we all needed reminding of how to interact with others, especially when hearing loss is involved. Use your manners! (our past Kindergarten teachers would agree)
Speak while in the same room
Get the other person’s attention before speaking
Look them in the eye
Consider turning off other sound sources
