In a situation where you are the patient with hearing loss, describe two compensatory methods you could use in a conversation in which you are receiving discharge instructions if you could understand only about a quarter of the words? (The person speaking to you does not know you have hearing loss.)
1. When the person with hearing loss utilizes hearing aids and active listening strategies.Face the person directly on the same level and in good light whenever possible.Observe the exaggerating mouth movements.Say the person's name before begining a coversation.This gives a chance to focus attention and reduces the chance of missing words at the begining of the conversation.Information in written manner such as instructions,drugs,timings etc..Try to reduce the background noise around you.Ask the person speaking to me to face me clearly and a little louder.
