Question

what is hearing impairment? how can people with this condition communicate ​

Answer 1

Communicating with People with Hearing Loss

• Face the hearing-impaired person directly, on the same level and in good light whenever possible.

• Do not talk from another room.

• Speak clearly, slowly, distinctly, but naturally, without shouting or exaggerating mouth movements.

• Say the person's name before beginning a conversation.

Answer 2

They may hear your voice, but still may have difficulty understanding some words. Most hearing-impaired people have greater difficulty understanding speech when there is background noise. Try to minimize extraneous noise when talking. Some people with hearing loss are very sensitive to loud sounds.
