Get Your Hearing Checked

 
Page:  1  2 

Take Action!

Talk to Your Friends and Family
Your friends and family need to know that you have trouble hearing. Sometimes it helps to ask people to speak louder or more slowly. Ask them to look at you when they talk so that you can see their face.

Let Others Know if You Don't Understand
Ask people to repeat what they said or re-word a sentence. At the doctor’s office, ask the doctor to write down important information.

Start Today: Small Steps
  • Talk to a friend or family member about what they can do to help.
  • Watch this short presentation to learn more about hearing loss.
  • Get rid of background noise - turn off the TV or radio.
