Hearing Aid Guide For Family & Friends
WHAT IS THE IMPACT ON A PERSON WHO HAS HEARING LOSS?
- increased concentration is required for understanding, which for many is very demanding and causes enormous strain and fatigue.
- Social withdrawal or endless talk is common, attempting to avoid having to listen to others or run the risk of misinterpretation and inappropriate responses.
- Difficulty in understanding group conversations or social situations.
- Frustration for both the person experiencing the hearing difficulty and those in his/her environment.
- The jeopardising of safety.
- Anxiety, depression and loss of confidence.
WHAT ARE THE LIMITATIONS OF LIP READING?
- Normal speech is faster than people are consciously capable of seeing.
- Many speech sounds look exactly the same and some sounds cannot be seen on the lips at all, such as ‘k’, ‘h’ and ‘g’.
- Some speakers are very difficult to lip read, especially if they cover their mouth, smoke, have a beard or eat while speaking.
- Some environments make lip reading difficult, such as rooms
