LISTENING FATIGUE is REAL for many of those who are deaf and hard of hearing. Here are some of the things in my Digital Resource Guide, I created to share awareness about fatigue and hearing loss:

https://www.mybattlecall.com/shop/p/listening-fatigue-for-children-with-hearing-loss

People who have hearing loss often have to work harder to listen than their hearing peers. Add masks/face coverings and it is extremely challenging.

It is not surprising this can cause fatigue and even exhaustion. Specifically, for kids in school. There are ways to support a child (or anyone) with hearing loss, in order to decrease the amount of fatigue experienced.

• First, create an optimal learning environment free of background noise. Rooms with carpet are more acoustically pleasing, and outside noise is minimized or eliminated by keeping doors and windows closed. Avoid playing radios and turn the television off.

• Utilize clear masks. Move group discussions outdoors so masks can be removed. *edited to add...this was a recommendation during covid.

• Provide listening breaks. Schedule intentional times throughout the day when relying on hearing is limited.

• Ensure the person speaking is facing the child. Repeat questions asked by others before answering and speak within 3-6 feet from the child. Try to facilitate communication that focuses on one person at a time.

• Utilize FM systems, wireless microphones, and sound-fields when possible.

• Always use closed-captions on audio-visuals.

• Avoid covering your mouth when speaking. Speak clearly and naturally.

• Allow children to express their frustration. Being understood is one of the keys to helping a child feel accepted and understood.

Encourage kids to advocate for themselves while also ensuring adults continue to offer accessibility and support.
