Guest guest Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 Hear-it.org offers this good advice. It reminded me of a few things I need to work on already. Thought I'd share: *Advice for the child * Use your hearing aid and get used to it Do not be ashamed that you are suffering from hearing loss Ensure that the people who talk to you are looking at you Tell others that they can touch you if they wish to contact you Tell people about your hearing loss Tell people what you want in order to hear better and how you like people to act Always take your hearing aid to parties Relax and rest when you get tired *Advice for adults * Use body language and gesticulation Do not let the child's hearing loss become a bigger problem than it is Support the child and restore his/her confidence Do not repeat what other people say Do not feel or show guilt because your child has a hearing problem Accept the child as he/she is Avoid unnecessary attention because of the hearing problem -- Robin Tomlinson thetomlinsons@...
