Myth: Louder is better.
Fact: Clarity is key.
It’s a common misconception that people with hearing loss just need others to “speak up.” But here’s the truth 👇
👂Hearing loss doesn’t just make sounds quieter…it makes speech distorted and muffled. That means even if someone shouts, the words may still sound unclear or jumbled.
So instead of raising your voice, try:
💬 Facing the person directly
👄 Speaking clearly (not exaggerated)
📺 Reducing background noise when possible
At Trinity Audiology, we hope to equip you with tools to thrive this holiday season. And if you or someone you love feels like voices sound mumbled, unclear, or that everyone’s talking too fast, it might be time for a hearing check. Because communication isn’t about volume, it’s about understanding.
