How to communicate easier with someone with a hearing loss

Communicating with People with a Hearing Loss
It takes people seven years on average to realize they have a hearing loss, and some people are not helped by hearing aids. It is better to assume someone has a hearing loss if they stare at your lips, give an answer that may not be appropriate to the question asked, turn their head slightly so their "good ear" is aimed at your mouth, or do better at answering written than spoken questions.

"What did you say?"is a valuable e-book to help others communicate more effectively with a person with a hearing loss.

Business Speech Improvement
can also develop specific tip-sheets for your business or industry on communicating more effectively with your customers or employees who may have a hearing impairment, and teach lip-reading and related skills.
