Tips for Better Communication

Your hearing care professional will recommend an 
appropriate schedule to help you adapt to your 
new hearing system . It will take practice, time and 
patience for your brain to adapt to the new sounds 
that your hearing system provides. Hearing is only 
part of how we share thoughts, ideas and feelings . 
Reading lips, facial expressions and gestures 
can help the learning process and add to what 
amplification alone may miss .

Please review the following simple  
communication tips:

For You

•  Move closer to and look at the speaker 

•  Sit face-to-face in a quiet room

•  Try different locations to find the best place  

to listen

•  Minimize distractions 

•  Background noises may be frustrating at first; 

remember, you have not heard them for a while
