Socializing Tips for People with Hearing Loss

As the world emerges from its pandemic bubble, the training begins for people with hearing loss. We must recall how to narrow our focus to the speaker directly in front of us and ignore the drone of background conversation. And relearn how to pace ourselves to combat hearing loss exhaustion

Here are some tips for socializing with hearing loss.

  1. Arrive early and well rested.
  2. Take breaks to recharge your batteries.
  3. Advocate for your needs
  4. Leverage technology
  5. Set realistic expectations
