Hearing loss can add an extra layer of stress when you have a hearing loss, but some added preparation can go a long way toward making things easier. Here are our top tips:
✅ Make sure your hearing aids are charged or have fresh batteries before heading out to an event, and that you are wearing them.
✅ Make sure you have recently changed your wax guards and domes, and pop an extra set in your pocket or bag just in case.
✅ Use your listening tactics, such as facing the person who is speaking, moving close to the person you are speaking with, making sure there is light on the speaker's face, and turning down the background noise.
✅ Remember, it is okay to take a break when you need it.
Most of all, focus on catching the meaning of the conversation rather than every word, and relax and enjoy.
