time for added consideration
There are times
when hearing
may be even
more difficult.
When you are
tired or aren’t
feeling well, it’s
likely that you
won’t hear or understand as well, either. This
is when the patience and understanding of
others are especially appreciated.
Everyone adjusts to hearing instruments and
develops listening skills at their own pace. The
common sense and attitudes of your family
and friends are as important as the instru-
ments themselves. Their encouragement and
support gives you
a significant
advantage as you
become reac
quainted with the
world of sounds.
