To Deafness:
Project Your
Communication
1. Don't shout at a person with a hearing
loss - it is humiliating and distorts the articulation (mouth).
2. Speak clearly and at a slightly slower pace.
3. Don't cover your mouth, chew food or smoke while talking.
4. Use short and simple sentences.
5. Rephrase if you are not understood.
6. Remember, only 8 of the 26 letters of the alphabet can be seen on the
speaking lips.
