Holiday Communication Tips
đź‘‚ Holiday gatherings & hearing: small changes, big connection
As families come together over the festive season, it’s easy for conversations to get lost in the noise. A few simple communication strategies can make all the difference for loved ones who may not hear as well — and help everyone feel included.
✨ Try these tips at your next gathering:
• Get the person’s attention before speaking
• Face them directly and keep your face visible
• Speak clearly at a natural pace — shouting can make hearing harder
• Reduce background noise where possible (music, TV, multiple conversations)
• Repeat or rephrase if needed, and check in kindly
• Be patient — connection starts with understanding
The best gift we can give each other is feeling heard.
