Struggling with communication can be frustrating, whether you're hard of hearing or speaking to someone who is. 🦻🗣️ Here are some do's and don'ts to make conversations smoother: ❌ Avoid: Shouting, saying 'Never mind', repeating without change, interrupting, excluding, or over-exaggerating your speech. ✅ Try instead: Making eye contact, asking for clarifications, rephrasing, aiding lipreading, enunciating clearly, and using gestures or visual aids. These tips are extra handy during holidays and big gatherings! Were any of these new to you? #hearingloss #dhhadvocate #hearinglossawareness #pediatricaudology
