Flyer Visual Description:
The flyer uses blocks of teal, green, yellow, and beige. At the top is a header showing who is hosting the event. On the left is a drawing of an ear with a device in muted tones. On the right is a headshot of a man shown from the shoulders up; he has short dark hair, a trimmed beard, and is smiling while wearing a light-colored dress shirt and a tie. At the bottom left is a black-and-white QR code. The rest of the flyer includes the event title, date, time, location, presenter name, and accessibility information.

I don't have sideways hearing. Or behind me hearing.

Communication with hearing loss needs to be intentional for inclusion. If I'm not looking at you when you're talking, there's a good chance I missed it. People assume I heard what's going on because I was in the room.

NOPE.

I hear with my eyes as much as my ears.
Voices fade into background noise if I'm not focused on you.
You may have been out of my six foot range for better hearing.
If you didn't nudge me, I missed it.

An easy guide to inclusion starts with the Three Golden Rules:
-Get my attention.
-Face me.
-Be within six feet.

Learn it. Know it. Live it.
