The end of the year brings so many special moments โ family gatherings, long conversations around the table, and celebrations filled with laughter. ๐
For loved ones with hearing difficulties or hearing aids, these busy environments can sometimes feel overwhelming. A little mindfulness from family members can make a big difference. Here are a few simple ways to help everyone feel included this holiday season:
โจ Face the person when you speak; seeing your expressions makes conversations easier.
โจ Reduce background noise when possible (turn down the TV or move away from speakers).
โจ Speak clearly and at a natural pace; there's no need to shout.
โจ Get their attention first before talking, especially in noisy rooms.
โจ Be patient and supportive.
Small adjustments make shared moments more enjoyable for everyone. ๐
