Choose seating wisely:
Position yourself in quieter areas or away from loud speakers to have better conversations. Look for good lighting in the room.
Bring spare batteries:
Ensure your hearing aid doesn’t run out of power during long events by carrying extra batteries.
Communicate your needs:
Let others know about your hearing aid and how they can help you hear better, like speaking clearly and facing you when talking.
Take breaks:
If the noise becomes overwhelming, take short breaks in quieter areas to give your ears a rest.
Practice active listening:
Focus on watching people’s faces and body language, which can provide additional context to what’s being said.
Use assistive devices:
Some hearing aids have features specifically for reducing background noise, so utilize these settings.
Consider captioning on the TV:
For movies or shows, opt for ones with subtitles or closed captioning to ensure you don’t miss out on dialogue.
Enjoying the festive season ! It should be inclusive for everyone, including those with hearing aids.
