## Caption

This post is inspired by and reposted from listenwithlindsay I agree with this so much. Additional bonus- for my husband to me! YES, this entire post can also apply to DHH adults! Especially after a long day at work or with the kids, so perhaps a good title in his case would be “Is your DHH wife ignoring you?” 🤪😂
 
First check:
✔️Did I get their attention first?
✔️Am I too far (more than 3 feet) away?
 ✔️Is there background noise?
✔️Am I talking TO them or AT them?
✔️Am I interrupting their activity?
✔️Do I ignore them when they attempt to interrupt mine (aka teach them this behavior)?

Save this post so you can come back to it when needed, and don't forget if you are looking for more support, I would love to invite you to my program, "My Child Has Hearing Loss, Now What?" Where we dive deep into providing the best information to you and your family as you navigate this new normal. Link in bio. ...
