Communication Tactics
While your hearing device can enhance your auditory experience in various scenarios, integrating a set of communication skills can significantly improve your ability to hear and utilise your device to its full potential. Beyond the device itself, there are numerous strategies you can adopt to optimise your hearing and comprehension abilities. These strategies, often referred to as "communication tactics", are not exclusively beneficial for individuals with hearing impairments or those who rely on hearing devices; they are advantageous for everyone.
Tips to help you hear better
Be assertive
Inform people you have hearing loss and tell them how they can help you. Most people will be happy to oblige if they understand what they need to do. Explain you don’t need them to shout at you, but to face you when they are talking and speak normally. You might need to remind people of this at times.
Using visual cues
We all “lip-read” to some degree, as we understand how different sounds look on people’s lips when they are talking. We use this naturally to help us figure out what a word might be if we missed it. Keep a clear view of a person’s face by looking at them when they talk and making sure the room is well-lit.
Using context
When chatting with somebody try not to worry about hearing every single word but focus instead on the theme of the conversation. You can piece in missed words if you understand the general context of the conversation.
Reduce background noise
Try to reduce the noise around you when people are speaking, for example, turn off the television or radio, or sit away from the kitchen or entrance-way in a café.
Ask for clarification
If you miss what somebody has said and you can’t figure it out, try to avoid saying simply “I can’t hear you” or “what did you say?” as this will eventually lead to frustration for yourself and those talking with you.Instead, ask them to repeat specifically what you missed. For example, “I’m sorry; I missed where you said you were going on Sunday afternoon?”
Asking for repeats
If you keep missing the same word or group of words, ask the speaker to rephrase what they are saying. You might say “I keep missing that last part about your new car, could you please try saying it a different way for me?”
Importance of concentration and keeping calm
Try to keep calm if you can’t hear well in certain situations. When you miss words you might find yourself getting tense, but this will make it even harder for you to catch up with what has been said. There will be times when you don’t hear so well when you find it almost impossible to figure out the conversation. This is an expected part of hearing loss, even if you are wearing a hearing device. It can help to think about what you can do to help yourself in these situations. For example, can you ask the speaker to write down what they have said? Remember that if you are tired, or unwell, you will likely find it more difficult to concentrate on following a conversation and you might not hear as well.
