Enhancing Communication for Individuals with a Hearing Loss
Jan 15, 2024
In a recent discussion, our very own Dr. Jennifer LaBorde and Dr. Margaret Richards highlighted the importance of effective communication for individuals with a hearing loss. In addition to technological solutions, there’s a need for practical communication strategies. Let’s explore some of their insights into what can be done to facilitate better communication and understanding.
Effects of Hearing Loss on Speech
Often, the signs of hearing loss affecting speech comprehension are subtle. Individuals may initially struggle to hear higher-pitched voices, impacting their ability to discern certain consonant sounds. This can lead to misunderstandings, especially when background noise is present. And this can take an emotional toll on individuals and impact their relationships with others.
Environmental Factors Impacting Communication
Environmental factors like distance, background noise, and poor acoustics can affect communication, too. It’s important to minimize distance and reduce background noise to enhance communication. Lighting can also help to create optimal conditions for speech reading, which is a skill that individuals with a hearing loss often develop.
Strategies to Improve Communication
Successful communication requires the effort of each person involved in a conversation. Even if the individual with a hearing loss utilizes hearing aids and active listening strategies, it is crucial that others involved in the communication process consistently use good communication strategies as well. Here are a few to implement to improve communication:
Dr. Richards suggests closing the gap between speakers and listeners, especially in noisy environments. Recognizing the impact of distance on speech clarity, she recommends maintaining a ten-foot bubble for effective communication.
Try to minimize background noise, since even seemingly insignificant sounds can disrupt communication. Practical examples include lowering the volume of the TV or turning music down when engaged in conversation.
It’s important for individuals with a hearing loss to become empowered to be advocates for their own communication needs. Dr. LaBorde emphasizes positive reinforcement in communication and acknowledging and appreciating effective communication behaviors.
When communication breaks down, there are ways to repair it. Rephrasing means encouraging individuals to rephrase their statements when misunderstood, since repeating the same words may not lead to comprehension. Dr. LaBorde and Dr. Richards also discuss the benefits of taking turns in conversations, particularly in group settings, to alleviate the cognitive load on individuals with a hearing loss.
When communicating with someone with a hearing loss, it’s always a good idea to use the individual's name before speaking to prime their brain for the upcoming conversation. Avoid sudden changes in topic. If the subject is changed, tell the individual with a hearing loss what you are talking about now. In group settings, repeat questions or key facts before continuing with the discussion.

The first time I noticed signs of a hearing loss was back when I was with the Memphis Police Force on the first anti-sniper unit (SWAT) team. Shooting many rounds of guns a week led to ringing in my ears, which it seemed was the start of my hearing loss. The Hearing Center is the very best in the business. They were the most helpful in the profession that I had seen. Since getting my hearing aids, I have no regrets. I enjoy my life much more with my hearing back intact. If you are considering using The Hearing Center, expect to be impressed by the best in the hearing aid business. It’s wonderful to hear well again and I can’t thank them enough.
Bobby B.
Thank you all for the help with my hearing aids. Everyone is so kind each time I come in, and I feel very well taken care of.
Karen H.
My hearing loss started when I was just 10 years old as a result of multiple ear infections. I was really struggling to hear, and as a result, I had to have a lot of ear construction to save my hearing. I was told that I would never be able to hear certain tones again. For many years, I was living in a world of isolation and I believed that there was no way that I would get all of my hearing back. I had an opinion that hearing aids were for older people. When I first approached The Hearing Center, everyone was very warm and welcoming, and it did not matter how many questions I had. They answered them and were very patient with me. They fitted me with hearing aids and the results have been life-changing. I can hear my children. They can no longer come up behind me and scare me! I feel less tired, I have more energy, and as a result, I am losing weight. Getting help with my hearing from The Hearing Center was the best thing I ever did!
Natasha H.
I have visited many different hearing care providers over the years but none compare to the level of care I have received from Dr. LaBorde and the staff at The Hearing Center. I can honestly say they have changed my life by helping me to regain hearing clarity. I highly recommend them.
Robert S.
I first noticed my hearing loss when I was having to ask people to repeat themselves a lot. I decided to get my first hearing test and I was very impressed with the service from The Hearing Center. The people were friendly and knowledgeable. Now, I would not be able to cope without my hearing aids. I can now carry a conversation. I can highly recommend seeking help from The Hearing Center if you are struggling with a hearing loss.

I have visited many different hearing care providers over the years but none compare to the level of care I have received from Dr. LaBorde and the staff at The Hearing Center. I can honestly say they have changed my life by helping me to regain hearing clarity. I highly recommend them.

I first noticed my hearing loss when I was having to ask people to repeat themselves a lot. I decided to get my first hearing test and I was very impressed with the service from The Hearing Center. The people were friendly and knowledgeable. Now, I would not be able to cope without my hearing aids. I can now carry a conversation. I can highly recommend seeking help from The Hearing Center if you are struggling with a hearing loss.

The first time I noticed signs of a hearing loss was back when I was with the Memphis Police Force on the first anti-sniper unit (SWAT) team. Shooting many rounds of guns a week led to ringing in my ears, which it seemed was the start of my hearing loss. The Hearing Center is the very best in the business. They were the most helpful in the profession that I had seen. Since getting my hearing aids, I have no regrets. I enjoy my life much more with my hearing back intact. If you are considering using The Hearing Center, expect to be impressed by the best in the hearing aid business. It’s wonderful to hear well again and I can’t thank them enough.

Thank you all for the help with my hearing aids. Everyone is so kind each time I come in, and I feel very well taken care of.

My hearing loss started when I was just 10 years old as a result of multiple ear infections. I was really struggling to hear, and as a result, I had to have a lot of ear construction to save my hearing. I was told that I would never be able to hear certain tones again. For many years, I was living in a world of isolation and I believed that there was no way that I would get all of my hearing back. I had an opinion that hearing aids were for older people. When I first approached The Hearing Center, everyone was very warm and welcoming, and it did not matter how many questions I had. They answered them and were very patient with me. They fitted me with hearing aids and the results have been life-changing. I can hear my children. They can no longer come up behind me and scare me! I feel less tired, I have more energy, and as a result, I am losing weight. Getting help with my hearing from The Hearing Center was the best thing I ever did!
